Song Review: Shooting Star – Kep1er
‘Shooting Star’, set to be Kep1er’s disbandment song, ends their run as a 9-member group in an all-time high, delivering one of the best K-pop title tracks of 2024.

Song Review: WORK – ATEEZ
Work is a mediocre track from ATEEZ, a group who is capable of much more compelling and dynamically interesting tracks.

Song Review: Armageddon – aespa
‘Armageddon’, at least in the initial listens, does not eclipse ‘Supernova’. Nevertheless, it is definitely worth a listen especially for the sensory assault its top-tier production provides.

Song Review: Mars – Doh Kyungsoo
‘Mars’ is a notable downgrade from the excellent ‘Popcorn’, sporting neither emotional resonance or a dynamic production that can support Kyungsoo’s strong vocal.
-
Song Review: Accendio – IVE
‘Accendio’ suffers from slightly jarring transitions and a lacklustre finale that lets down an otherwise strong beginning.
-
Song Review: Samidare – &TEAM
Though a definite downgrade from ‘Firework’, Samidare is very much at home with &TEAM’s concept and overall sound.

Song Review: Lose My Breath – Stray Kids ft. Charlie Puth
‘Lose My Breath’ is potential wasted in pop music’s obsession for high-pitched melodies.

Song Review: Magnetic – ILLIT
‘Magnetic’ is definitely a successful debut, but an unresolved chorus melody could hurts its longevity. Nevertheless, its distinct production remains to be a highlight worth coming back to.

Song Review: Feel The POP – ZEROBASEONE
‘Feel the POP’ is another among the many additions to ‘easy-to-listen’ K-pop songs- but one that I believe will stand the test of time.

Song Review: Fatal Trouble – ENHYPEN
“Fatal Trouble” is a testament to ENHYPEN’s growth as artists who bask into the interwoven narratives of their melodies.
