BIGBANG’s “Still Life” Bids Farewell To An Era and Signals A New Beginning For Each Member
Legend. That is what BIGBANG is. There’s no denying they have contributed so much to Kpop over the years, inspiring millions around the world. After four years BIGBANG released their single, “Still Life”. It’s a slow rock song. The lyrics represent each members’ individual journey and also collectively as a group. This song is heartbreaking…

Is KEP1ER “WA DA DA” One of The Best Debuts Of 2022?
Lately it’s been difficult for me to really get into a debut the first time. Usually I have to listen to the song a couple of times in order to warm up to it. I’ve heard about KEP1ER because they are a temporary group that was formed from MNET’s survival program Girls Planet 999. I’ll…

KAI: KLoor Beyond Live Online Concert Full Recap
On December 12, Kai held his first online solo concert. I sat in front of my big screen, snacks on hand, eagerly waiting to see my favorite performer. For those who may not know, Kai is my favorite dancer/master of the stage. His stage presence is un-matched. So the online concert was different than any…

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…

My Top Kpop Songs of October 2021
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…

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…
