While I may not be as big of an AKMU fan as many others, I've always been a huge lover of Chanhyuk's voice. He's got a great vocal colour, one that brings a tonne of character whilst still sounding satisfying to the ears in the realm of both upbeat and softer tracks. As such, when … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Lee Chanhyuk (AKMU) – Panorama
While I predominantly cover singles on here, I’ve always been an avid consumer of albums. More often than not, this results in some songs that I adore but others that I detest. As a remedy to this issue, we have Beast Sides! These songs put the Beast in B-side and are either stronger than their … Continue reading Beast Sides: BLACKPINK (Rosé) – Hard to Love
I think it's become a universal thing for Blackpink's Pink Venom to grow from an otherwise obnoxious listen to a fun, almost comical experience. The song has experienced a surprising level of longevity on my playlist, courtesy of endless meming and its honestly addictive centrepiece. It's not a good song at all and is unlikely … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: BLACKPINK – Shut Down
Yes. This is really happening. BLACKPINK have often been the butt of many jokes on this blog. And while I have given the group a number of scathing reviews since 2020's How You Like That, It should be said that I do (or at least did) have a lot of love for this group. Despite … Continue reading Top 10 Best Songs By BLACKPINK
Though often regarded as K-pop's leading female act, it has almost become a rite of passage to approach every BLACKPINK comeback with a healthy sense of scepticism. Casual fans of the genre often bend to the loud, often addicting presentation of these tracks but those more jaded fans such as myself usually find them unpleasant … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: BLACKPINK – Pink Venom
It's a testament to YG's entertainment's incredibly sporadic release schedule that this release doesn't feel nearly as monumental or long awaited as it theoretically should. After almost 2 years away as a result of mandatory military enlistments, Winner have returned to the scene with a bang, giving listeners a surefire head rush with the bright, … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Winner – I Love U
Well, what a pleasant surprise this is. When considering 2022's most underwhelming comebacks, Treasure's Jikjin is right up there. It's awful chorus acted as a smear to the tracks strong guitar assisted verses which pointed towards an exciting new direction for the group. And the general public reflected a similar sentiment, launching the laid back, … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Treasure – Darari (remix)
For everyone who has been involved in the world of K-pop for a substantial amount of time, few names radiate as much weight and power as BIGBANG. A larger than life group that during their dominant 11 year run between 2006 - 2017, existed on a completely different plane of existence to most. In between … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: BIGBANG – Still Life
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
Despite my personal qualms with Blackpink's music, I've always found the girls to be more appealing as four distinct personalities than as a group. This is something that lends very well to solo ventures and much like how member Jennie debuted back in late 2018 with, Rosé has graced us with her own solo venture … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: On The Ground – Rosé (BLACKPINK)
