    Song Review: Eve, Psyche & The Bluebeard’s wife by Le Sserafim

    At first listen, I knew that this song was going straight up to one of my favorites of the year. I’ve seen other people mention that this kind of music has been done in the past and better, but this is the first time I’ve heard of anything that sounds like ‘Eve’. Perhaps it can…

    Song Review: UNFORGIVEN (ft. Nile Rogers) by Le Sserafim

    I’ll admit, I had high hopes for this comeback. I am a massive fan of their last title-track, ‘Antifragile’, and even though ‘UNFORGIVEN’ indeed took notes in the creation of the latter, the product becomes much weaker than expected, leaving feeling me painfully hollow. The main problem with UNFORGIVEN is the fact that it fails…

    Song Review: Welcome To MY World by aespa (Feat. naevis)

    It would not be an exaggeration to say that I haven’t heard song that quite sounds like ‘Welcome To MY World’. In the case of this song, it is a huge compliment. I am a huge fan of the atmosphere created through the production which is strengthened by the carefully chosen chords of the vocal…

    Song Review – Spicy by aespa

    Admittedly, I was very underwhelmed by ‘Spicy’ at first listen. There was barely anything that got stuck in my head. None of the vocal melodies truly made me feel eager to keep listening. This was a shame, because I was a huge fan of their recent Tetrist OST, ‘Hold On Tight’, which also coincidentally had…

  • Song Review: Allergy by (G)I-DLE

    Song Review: Allergy by (G)I-DLE

    I was much more taken with pre-release ‘Allergy’ at first listen than I was with ‘Queencard’. Acting as a prequel for the latter, ‘Allergy’ takes a more sentimental tone that attempts to appeal into people all around the world struggling with their insecurities, hence becoming ‘allergic’ to the mirror as a result. The insecurities were…

    Song Review: Queencard by (G)I-DLE

    I will admit, when I first listened to Queencard, I had many doubts. There were certainly many things to commend, most notably its exciting and hard-hitting production echoing the grit and attitude of ‘Tomboy’, which had been a massive hit last year. On the other hand, its chanty chorus and questionable English lyrics were an…

    Group Review: CRAVITY, TREASURE, Seulgi (Red Velvet), Kingdom, Stray Kids

    It seems that no matter how much work I get done, school simply does not give me a break. Hence, I will be sticking to this ‘group’ style reviews in the future, despite the fact that in-depth breakdowns are what I enjoy the most. However, if I feel that the song really deserves more than…
