For the longest time, TXT were the group to beat. Each comeback came with a sense of weight—a promise of quality regardless of genre or concept. And from their debut in 2019 with the buoyant pop of Crown all the way up until 2023's Chasing That Feeling, the group maintained that high watermark, climaxing in … Continue reading Song Review: TXT – Beautiful Strangers

With the unbalanced Sugar Rush Ride and cloying pop jingle of Do it like that, 2023 has seen me feel more disconnected than ever with TXT's musical output.

TXT's Blue Hour and its accompanying album, 'minisode1: Blue Hour' is easily one of my absolute favourite comebacks in recent memory. It's an extraordinary piece of work, bursting with character and consisting of an all killer no filler tracklist that's only gotten better with time.
