When U-know debuted as soloist in 2019 with the fantastic Follow, I was absolutely thrilled by its classic, near robotic soundscape. And much of the album matched the strength of its lead single. So when I heard that his new project would be centered around the idea of film, I was very excited. It promised … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Thank U – U-Know (Yunho of TVXQ)
If you've been a regular on this blog for the past year, then you might know that my relationship with Cherry Bullet's music hasn't been the best. I didn't think much of either of their 2020 singles and their sugary sweet sound wasn't something I really gravitated towards. But I think that Love So Sweet … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Love So Sweet – Cherry Bullet
If there's anything that I've come to love about ONEUS over the past 2 years, it's that they're remarkably consistent. They're a group who love to experiment both musically and conceptually and while their material might not always hit the mark, every one of their comebacks is sure to excite in one way or another. … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: No diggity – ONEUS
What the hell is this. Cravity are one of those groups that just continue to confuse me. They are a group that have so much potential but rarely do their title tracks come close to that promise. Their singles run has been on a kind of downward spiral with each lead single being weaker than … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: My Turn – Cravity
Over the past year, I've started to become heavily invested in the massive world of Johnny's entertainment. They're home to some incredible acts and their expansion towards a more international audience through services like Youtube and for the now retired Arashi, Spotify, over the past year has been great to see. And while I've come … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Top Of The World – IMPACTors
Ever since their one two punch of Breathe and Blind For Love in their great debut year, AB6IX have kind off fallen off my radar. I found both their 2020 releases incredibly lack lustre and their latest single Salute was easily their weakest by far. And so I wasn't at all expecting much from Stay … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Stay Young – AB6IX
For those who have even the slightest of knowledge of Japanese pop culture, the name Yoasobi should ring some immediate bells. Their late 2019 release Racing Into The Night was a bonafide sensation in Japan and their popularity has only gotten bigger and bigger throughout the course of the past year. And unlike most cases, … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Kaibutsu – Yoasobi
Despite Treasure's I Love You breaking into the top 50 of my favourite Kpop songs of the year, I still consider the buoyant pre-debut track Going Crazy to be the their strongest effort yet. So when I heard that the group were returning with a more bright and upbeat sound, I was more than thrilled. … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: My Treasure – Treasure
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
