For me, MCND have always been one of those underdog groups, releasing songs that don't leave much of an impression on first listen but grow into real ear worms over time. Such was the case with their excellent debut Ice Age (a song that would easily garner a rating in the mid 8's now) and … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: MCND – W.A.T.1
When I consider some of my absolute favourite albums of all time, Nissy's 'Hocus Pocus 2' is one that easily comes to mind. It's an all killer no filler affair and spans a variety of sounds throughout its 14 song setlist. New album 'Hocus Pocus 3' acts as the sequel project to the aforementioned 'Hocus … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Nissy – Trippin

As a remedy to this issue, we have Beast Sides! These songs put the Beast in B-side and are either stronger than their … Continue reading Beast Sides: Ciipher – Slam The Door
Well, what a pleasant surprise this is. When considering 2022's most underwhelming comebacks, Treasure's Jikjin is right up there. It's awful chorus acted as a smear to the tracks strong guitar assisted verses which pointed towards an exciting new direction for the group. And the general public reflected a similar sentiment, launching the laid back, … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Treasure – Darari (remix)
TXT's Blue Hour and its accompanying album, 'minisode1: Blue Hour' is easily one of my absolute favourite comebacks in recent memory. It's an extraordinary piece of work, bursting with character and consisting of an all killer no filler tracklist that's only gotten better with time. As such, my expectations for 'minisode2: Thursday's Child' were through … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: TXT – Good Boy Gone Bad

As such, … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: iKON – But You
