The Feeling's been kicking around for a while now. Released around the start of the month as a pre-release for the groups upcoming comeback, the heavy hip hop of HARD, The Feeling stands as the first snippet we've heard of the group since Taemin's enlistment.

SHINee's Back! As arguably my favourite group in all of K-pop, I approach every SHINee comeback or SHINee adjacent release with a sense of optimism and inherent excitement.

Every single member, including the late, great, Jonghyun are bonafide superstars and incredibly ripe for solo material. Key demonstrated his prowess with last years immense Bad Love and Taemin's consistent … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: ONEW (SHINee) – DICE
(Every song from here onwards is better than anything I've this year and that's a fact) 75 - 51 50. Sunmi - Narcissism A track that felt like a sonic sequel to 2020's masterful pporappippam, Narcissism builds tension during its atmospheric verses to make that stunning chorus feel all the more impactful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqnmcU4kCTQ 49. TWICE … Continue reading The Top 75 Best K-Pop B-sides of 2021 (50 – 26)
