My Top Kpop Songs Of November 2021
Have I ever mentioned November and especially December are the busiest months of the year for me? Personally, November and December are really hard months for me to keep up with Kpop comebacks (and debuts). This is the time when I’m wrapping things up for the year and am busy preparing for the holidays. That’s…

Stray Kids “Christmas EveL” is One of The Most Unique Unconventional Christmas Songs Ever
“Christmas EveL” has Stray Kids classic sound – of course when 3RACHA (Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han) work on a song you know it’ll be amazing. This track is intense and badass – great vocals with epic rap verses. The members sing about the annoyances that come with the season – slippery roads, junk messages.…

Real, Raw, and 100% That 빛. Hwasa Returns With Her 2nd Single Album ‘Guilty Pleasure’
You can always count on Hwasa to be 100% real, especially in her music. Hwasa doesn’t paint herself as a picture-perfect idol. She’s got flaws and she owns them. She’s unapologetically herself and that’s what makes her a Queen in the music scene. “I’m a 빛” is bold and relatable. I love the play on…

The Boyz ‘MAVERICK’ Smashed Every Expectation
I was expecting great things from THE BOYZ, especially since their previous comebacks have been incredible. But there’s no denying “MAVERICK” takes a dark turn and it has catapulted The Boyz further to solidifying their strength as a group. Along with “MAVERICK” The Boyz released two b-side tracks: “Hypnotized” and “Russian Roulette”. Both songs fit…

October was one of those months that was filled with incredible albums…yes albums not just title tracks. But I feel like I haven’t been able to fully enjoy each of them. Like I mentioned in my September post, I’ve been slowing down with comebacks to focus on individual comebacks more. Yes, there are certain albums…

MAMA 2021 Nominees Have Been Announced, Brace Yourselves
Award season is upon us and as a Kpop fan this is both exciting and nerve-racking. The biggest music award show for Kpop, MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Awards) released their list of 2021 nominees. Regardless of who actually wins, I think being nominated is a win itself. I watch MAMAs as a celebration of Kpop…

WOODZ ‘Only Lovers Left’ Narrates A Bittersweet Love Story In The Best Way
Love, heartbreak, passion, confusion, happiness, sadness, it’s all in one album. WOODZ (Seungyoun) Only Lovers Left is a no-skip, keep it on repeat, replay all day, type of album. I have played this album over and over so many times in the past couple of weeks. I’ve been a fan of WOODZ music for two…

My Top Kpop Songs of September 2021
September came and now it’s gone. But it gave us wonderful music and so far October is sounding SO good. I’ve kinda slowed down with comebacks because I want to take time to enjoy them more. Even if that means missing several music releases from other groups and artists. I’m sure I’ll catch up and…

Key Is Kpop’s Retro King and Rightfully So
If you’ve been following Key’s solo music, then you already know he is one of kind. Key breaks out of the norms and reinvents concepts making them entirely, uniquely his. For his latest comeback he fully takes on the retro sound and absolutely owns it. In his mini album, Bad Love, he blends sci-fi and…
