While last year was filled to the brim with high profile debuts, 2020 has only seen two really notable debuts in Cignature and MCND. While I havnt been completely enamoured by the former, MCND's over the top Ice Age has grown on my substantially since its release. There's just something incredibly charming about its anything … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Spring – MCND
Over the past few years Winner have strayed away from the sounds that made me fall in love with them in the first place. While they have found success both commercially and musically with songs like Really Really, I've always craved that mature musical touch that defined much of their debut years. Remember and its … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Remember – WINNER
While SEVENTEEN have been releasing some of K-pop's strongest singles in their homeland of Korea, their Japanese work has been much more scattershot. Other than their brilliant high energy 2018 debut, Call Call Call!, they've embraced a much more moody and dark sound. This has impacted both their recent Korean material, as well as their … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Fallin Flower – SEVENTEEN
What can I say that hasn't already been said about Kang Daniel? I mean the guy is a CEO, Produce 101 winner, the nations centre, former Wanna One member, and most importantly god Jihyo's boyfriend. And that's what makes much of his solo work baffling to me. With so much talent at his disposal, his … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: 2U – Kang Daniel
RBW Entertainment's ONEUS were on of my top rookies of 2019, bursting out of the gate with the incredible Valkyrie and an equally potent mini album. Followup Twilight was also great, but further projects such as Lit and 808 never really did anything for me. While they group still provided excellent album tracks like A … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: A Song Written Easily – ONEUS
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 this segment, I will be spotlighting those standout albums and giving my thoughts on each and every track While ITZY had a watershed 2019, the only thing that kept them from really transforming into bonafide superstars … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: ITZY – IT’z ME
During her stint on Produce 101 and resulting group IOI, Kim Sejeong always stood out to me as one of the more interesting members. While she has an incredible voice, it was her undeniable charisma and ability to hook you immediately that really transformed her into a bonafide star. And while her own group Gugudan … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Plant – Kim Sejeong
Eyedi has always been a weird artist for me to properly assess. Her brand of psychedelic lo-fi synth-pop is completely unique within the K-pop landscape, and this often results in a number of singles that are either absolute knockouts, or complete let downs. Last years hypnotic &new luckily fell into the former category, providing one … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: J.us.T – Eyedi
