Song Review: Accendio – IVE

‘Accendio’ suffers from slightly jarring transitions and a lacklustre finale that lets down an otherwise strong beginning.

Song Review: Supernova – aespa

aespa is one of the few K-pop groups right now who have a very defined concept and are simultaneously pulling it off to the highest caliber- truly the definition of ‘pushing boundaries’.
