At the end of each month, I compile my top three K-pop title tracks and list a ton of honorable mentions. But each Sunday, I’ll offer a compendium of the week’s new releases featured on the blog. And even more than that, I’ll attempt to rank them from my least-to-most-liked. I invite you to share your own rankings as well. The comments section of these posts is also a great spot to discuss anything that has happened in K-pop during the week.
Make sure to click on the title of any release to read the full review and see its initial rating. Consider this your one stop Bias List shop each and every Sunday!

this week was all about METRONOME for me.
I thought the BOYNEXTDOOR album b-sides were good but I haven’t really listened more than once lol.

The izna mini was very good. Nothing else stands out. I’ve been listening to the ONEWE mini from last week a lot. Coordinates is a great song. RIIZE next week!

I enjoyed Viral and several of the bsides. I doubt any of them will have much staying power but the album was a good interlude between Shinee the week before and Riize the week after 😂
I’m also so happy BTS chose to release Come Over on streaming! It’s such a solid song and probably the closest from the new album to what many would call the “BTS sound.” I like a few tracks from Arirang better but Come Over is absolutely on my playlist.

It’s not playlist-worthy for me, but I had the same reaction where it was just nice to hear something that really sounded like them.

I know youre looking for kpop producers and one of my favourites is wonderkid. He was enhypen’s main producer until 2023 but he’s done work for other groups too and he’s been in the industry for years. I don’t think he’s active as much now but I’d go through his credits if I were you
