Song Review: CRIMINAL LOVE by ENHYPEN
‘CRIMINAL LOVE’ is the second official OST ENHYPEN sung for their Webtoon ‘DARK MOON: The Blood Alter’. Essentially, it is a follow-up to the excellent ‘ONE IN A BILLION’. While I don’t think ‘CRIMINAL LOVE’ matches up, it stands strong on its own terms.

Album Review: REBOOT by TREASURE

While ‘REBOOT’ is far from perfect, it is easily TREASURE’s strongest album to date. Member Junkyu blossomed production-wise, as all the songs he produced were as a whole, my favourite from the album.

Song Review: BONA BONA by TREASURE

Overall, ‘BONA BONA’ feels like wasted potential, but the rest of the songs in ‘REBOOT’ are quite strong.

Song Review: None of My Business by ITZY

‘None of My Business’ is by no means a bad song. It is inoffensive in every way. It is just that I have absolutely no desire to play it ever again, given that there is an entire K-pop group who specializes in these easy-to-listen-to bops and does them significantly better.

Song Review: Cool With You by NewJeans

Sometimes, a ‘wisp of a song’ can work. This works really well- at least for me.

Song Review: ETA by NewJeans

While ‘ETA’ is a solid release, its commitment to its short run-time and minimalist style compromised its final product.

Song Review: Seven by Jung Kook (BTS) ft. Latto

BTS Jung Kook’s ‘Seven’ is a hit- though the production leaves something to be desired.

Song Review: I DO by G(I)-DLE

(G)I-DLE managed to deliver a convincing English single through ‘I DO’ that gave full spotlight to their vocal delivery and the classic melodies of the top line.
