Coming into May I expected to be raving about each and every single one of TXT's three expected music videos. But after the good but unspectacular Can't You See Me and the disastrous PUMA, my hopes for any further TXT releases had pretty much reached an all time low. Given this current disappointment, I'm actually … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Eternally – TXT
While 'GO LIVE' has been out for around two weeks by now, the groups release schedule prompted me to delay that feature for a few more. During each of the comebacks, the group have more often than not chosen to promote a few tracks alongside the main title track. So rather than write an album … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Blueprint – Stray Kids
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, please welcome an all new feature, Beast Sides! These songs put the Beast in B-side and are … Continue reading Beast Sides: OMG – Golden Child
A.C.E - Stand By You https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWLiDxXTFlc After a year that saw them release both their best and worst singles, A.C.E have finally made their mark in 2020 with the powerful balladry of Stand By You. While I would usually discount tracks such as this, Stand By You is a ballad that manages to hold its … Continue reading Quickie Catchup Reviews: A.C.E, Aweek, Bang Yedam, Ha Sungwoon, IU, Momoland, N.Flying, Super Junior K.R.Y, Victon,
When compared to last years more restrained release schedule, BTS have been utterly prolific this year. Stay Gold is the groups 6th!! music video this year and it's only June. Looking at it in perspective, the group have pretty much released one mv per month, a staggering feat in itself. However, with this much material … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Stay Gold – BTS
Although they debuted with bang, Blackpink have since recessed into one of modern Kpop's most confusing release schedules. Their 1 song a year promotions since 2017 have transformed each Blackpink comeback into more a musical moment than just any standard song release. However, more often than not these year long waits result in rather underwhelming … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: How You Like That – BLACKPINK
Year released: 2009 Although I've fallen in love with many Johnny's entertainment groups over the past few months, the group that have probably struck me the hardest are Kat-Tun. Not only do they have an incredibly consistent yet varied discography, but their incredible vocal blend is enough to make almost any song transcendent. Even though … Continue reading JPOP HALL OF FAME: Rescue – KAT-TUN

Despite the fact that Golden Child are one of my favourite groups, 2020 has firmly taught me to never hold any expectations. Compared to both 2018 and 2019, this years singles have felt rather underwhelming, adhering much more to stale trends than forming strong, unique melodies. But while the title tracks have mostly been lacklustre, … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: One (Lucid Dream) – Golden Child
Although I consider them one of my bias groups, I haven't really been enamoured by a Seventeen title track since 2018's Thanks. And that was more than two full years ago. The group have had consistently strong albums but I've always felt like the promoted singles have played second fiddle to the much superior b-sides. … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Left & Right – SEVENTEEN
