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…

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…

Song Review: ‘After Like’ by IVE
IVE is the rookie girl group to watch. Despite only possessing 6 songs under their discography, pretty much every song has been a hit. Eleven was an incredibly solid debut that still holds up over time, and Love Dive was a very strong follow up, even earning them their first PAK (perfect all kill) in…

Song Review: PINK VENOM by BLACKPINK
After, last month’s Ready For Love, BLACKPINK are back with another pre-release to build up hype for their upcoming album. Despite having several issues with Ready For Love’s song production, I was eventually won over by the surprising potency of its hooks and the great vocal and rap delivery by the girls. Thankfully, this time,…

Song Review: Forever Only by Jaehyun (NCT)
Jaehyun has one of my favorite voices in K-pop. Husky, thick, and warm, his voice stands out in the sea of K-pop Main Vocalists. (I’m surprised people often forget that Jaehyun is a Main Vocalist, possibly because he is overshadowed by Taeil and Doyoung who are more capable ‘belters’). Unfortunately, I feel that he is…
