Despite their popularity continuing to grow as a near astronomic rate throughout last year, (G)i-dle had a less than successful year musically. At least in my opinion. The group attempted to cover many different sounds but despite some strong concepts, the tracks failed to really deliver when it came to a strong melody or consistent … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Hwaa – (G)I-DLE
In an industry that's come to favour boy groups going harder and edgier over the last few years, it's been refreshing to see a group like MCND debut with such a goofy and over the top sound. Sure, much of their material hasn't been the most original, but the boys have a unique vocal blend … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Crush – MCND
I don't talk about them on the blog nearly as much I should but Spyair are one of my all time favourite J-rock bands. Their influence within the J-rock and anime community is not to be underestimated and while their recent work hasn't been particularly to my tastes, they've got a back catalogue full of … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Wadachi – Spyair

While woo!ah! debuted with a certain level of hype surrounding them, the rookie girl group completely managed to fly under my radar. Such too was the case with follow up Bad Girl, which improved upon their debut but still failed to really elicit any sparks. Thankfully, the group have chosen to promote album track I … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: I Don’t Miss U – woo!ah!
The retro trend is in full swing right now within the Korean music industry and if there was one man to continue that trend, it has to be the man himself, Park Jinyoung. When We Disco, his disco inspired collaboration with Sunmi remains one of 2020's most enjoyable tracks and he's once again chosen to … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Switch to me – Rain x JYP
While I predominantly cover singles on here, I’ve always been an avid consumer of albums. More often than not, this results in some songs that I adore but others that I detest. 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: Ghosting – TXT
Ah December. The month where most groups wind down for Christmas and awards season. It's a notoriously quiet month, but much like the rest of 2020, December has flipped expectations and is looking surprisingly stacked. We've already got comebacks from the likes of BOA, NCT 2020, ONEUS and have acts like Ghost9 and Super Junior … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Panorama – IZ*ONE
It seems as though the debut of a new SM girl group has been imminent for some years now. In fact, it's been four years since SM last debuted a new group and almost six since their last girl group, Red Velvet. As such, Aespa, and their debut effort, Black Mamba arrive with much expectation. … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Black Mamba – Aespa
I think it's finally time for me to come to terms with the fact that I've begun to fall out of love with BTS' music. 2020 is a year that has heralded massive success for the group and their recent success on the billboard hot 100 with August's Dynamite is certainly evidence of that. But … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Life Goes On – BTS
