Nearing the 9th anniversary of their debut, veteran girl group Apink have quietly gone onto become one of the longest running girl groups in the industry. And while their early years consisted of more bubblegum influenced pop, the've experienced a sophisticated resurgence of sorts over the past few years. Aided by mega producer Black Eyed … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Dumhdurum – Apink
Well this is one long overdue review. I've known about SixTONES and their long anticipated debut Imitation Rain since its release all the way back in January, but I never really found the time to give it a proper listen. The shortened music video also didn't help my cause. But ever since the Covid-19 outbreak … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Imitation Rain – SixTONES

In just over a year after their debut, ITZY's shadow looms over much of what modern day kpop girl group fare sounds like. This disjointed upbeat pop, made viral early last year by the groups mammoth hit Dalla Dalla, has pretty much come to dominate much of the girl group landscape in the past few … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Wannabe – ITZY
To put it frankly, most of AB6IX's new '5INALLY' project is completely faceless. While I gave Woong's Moondance a decent review earlier in the month, that track has all but faded from memory.

In my review of GFriend's Crossroads, I mentioned my love for the holy trinity of WJSN, Oh My Girl and Gfriend. Though they still remain unbeatable, if there is one group that's on the edge of breaking into that elite club, it's undoubtedly Dreamcatcher. Their hard rock infused sound is completely unique in the K-pop … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Scream – Dreamcatcher
Though I don't usually review tracks without a mv, I've desperately been wanting to talk about Gfriend's Labyrinth from the moment I first heard it. Though I do appreciate title track Crossroads quite abit, part of me desperately wanted something as propulsive as this to be the feature. Thankfully, the girls have promoted the track … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Labyrinth – GFRIEND
It's been a while since we've seen a full on horror concept in K-pop. During their peak, boy group VIXX were supplying us with a constant blast of horror inspired pop on the ready. But since the enlistment of most of their members, this particular sub-genre has been left all but deserted. However, Pentagon have … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Dr.베베(Dr. BeBe) – PENTAGON
