With last years majestic, city pop inspired Pporappippam, Sunmi officially bowled me over with a song that cruised to the top of my favourite K-pop songs of 2020 list and has since then only gotten better and better the more I've listened to it. It was a true masterwork, which put much expectation on what … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Tail – Sunmi
It's been a long time coming but after almost 2 years away from the scene, industry legends and personal favourites SHINee are back. During their mandatory military enlistment, we've gotten a few solo releases here and there and some great projects by maknae Taemin but this is the first time in a long time that … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Don’t Call Me – SHINee
With the burgeoning growth of K-pop in its current state, many newer fans are unaware of many of the genres past classics. That’s why I will be taking a look back at some of K-pop’s most exciting and iconic tracks that were released before the conception of this blog to shed some light on this now bygone … Continue reading Retro Rewind: Believe – U-Kiss
Despite debuting with immense promise with the wonderfully slinky and effortlessly cool Movie Star, CIX and I have failed to really connect past that initial effort. I haven't enjoyed any of their albums and neither of their past two lead singles did much for me either. As such, my expectations for Cinema were rather reserved. … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Cinema – CIX
When it comes down to consistency, few groups of the new generation are able to match Golden Child. Ever since their 2017 debut they have yet to release a bad song, shifting effortlessly between concepts without sacrificing the strong melodic base behind their tracks. And so when they announced that they were going to return … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Burn It – Golden Child
U-know's 'NOIR' has quickly gone onto become one of my favourite mini albums of the year so far and while that might not mean much given that we're only 20 odd days into January, I predict it will remain in heavy rotation for the foreseeable future. This is because the project is consistent all the … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: La Rosa – U-Know (feat. Shin Yeeun)
When U-know debuted as soloist in 2019 with the fantastic Follow, I was absolutely thrilled by its classic, near robotic soundscape. And much of the album matched the strength of its lead single. So when I heard that his new project would be centered around the idea of film, I was very excited. It promised … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Thank U – U-Know (Yunho of TVXQ)
If you've been a regular on this blog for the past year, then you might know that my relationship with Cherry Bullet's music hasn't been the best. I didn't think much of either of their 2020 singles and their sugary sweet sound wasn't something I really gravitated towards. But I think that Love So Sweet … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Love So Sweet – Cherry Bullet
If there's anything that I've come to love about ONEUS over the past 2 years, it's that they're remarkably consistent. They're a group who love to experiment both musically and conceptually and while their material might not always hit the mark, every one of their comebacks is sure to excite in one way or another. … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: No diggity – ONEUS
Over the past year, I've started to become heavily invested in the massive world of Johnny's entertainment. They're home to some incredible acts and their expansion towards a more international audience through services like Youtube and for the now retired Arashi, Spotify, over the past year has been great to see. And while I've come … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Top Of The World – IMPACTors
