It's sometimes funny to think that NCT started as one of the most ambitious projects in K-pop history. An ever expanding group that would be divided up into sub-units based on sound and performance? That's an excellent and wholly unique idea! And one that really lived up to its promises during those first few years. … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: NCT DREAM – Glitch Mode
I remember when I first started my blog in early 2020, I proclaimed the holy trinity of OH MY GIRL, WJSN and GFRIEND to be my absolute favourite girl groups. Now while that was absolutely valid back then, two years are a long time within the industry and If you were to ask me now, … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: OH MY GIRL – Real Love
It's hard to believe that Red Velvet have only had two comebacks since December 2019. The group, once considered in the top three girl groups of South Korea, have been all but relegated to individual or subunit related activities, resulting in some mixed but generally positive results. However, their big 2021 comeback, Queendom failed to … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Red Velvet – Feel My Rhythm
After being brought back from the dead last year, Brave Girls stunned me with two of their absolute best singles in the form of the summer smash Chi Mat Baram and emotive synth driven masterpiece, After We Ride.

Ever since Everglow's incredible, genre defining La Di Da in late 2020, I've been hoping, dying, frothing at the mouth for a girl group (hell, any k-pop group) to tackle a more aggressive style of synth driven pop. It's a personal favourite of mine and one that I believe would fit right in to this … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Rocket Punch – Chiquita

YG Entertainment are a company that have always puzzled me. I somewhat understand the "Quality over quantity" approach that they claim to have but while it was somthing that I could agree with back in the early to mid 2010's with Big Bang and 2NE1 releasing absolute bangers, their recent efforts have made me seriously … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Treasure – JIKJIN
As one of K-pop's biggest stars, every Taeyeon feels like a real moment. She's cultivated a massive fandom both domestically and internationally, both as a member of the legendary Girls Generation as well as a soloist, resulting in massive commercial success. But despite her incredible voice, her solo efforts have usually been more mid-tempo fair, … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Taeyeon – INVU
Hampered by an infrequent release schedule that's resulted in only one major release per year since their debut, Cherry Bullet have lacked the kind of promotional push that a group like them sorely require. As such, while their releases have been decent and their dedicated fanbase has been stable, they've experienced little commercial success.
