There are a number of acts who have debuted in the past few decades and have dozens of song ratings on this blog. I thought it would be fun to lay these ratings out in chronological order, line-graph style, and take a macro view of their careers so far. Then, similar to my “Underrated K-pop” … Continue reading

Debuting boy group YUHZ come to us from survival series B:MY BOYZ. Like many new series-spawned groups, their contract is slightly longer (five years), which hopefully gives their agency motivation to promote them with longevity in mind. A song like Rush Rush could be considered low-hanging fruit for me. Even at its worst, a bright, … Continue reading

Girl group KIIRAS made a promising comeback last year with Bang Bang, which showcased their vocal talent. They’ve now returned with another two-syllable title in Ta Ta, but this song finds them in different musical territory. We still hear a few moments of vocal drama, but the bulk of the track is built around rhythmic, … Continue reading
After an extended group hiatus, Billlie are returning in a big way with their first full album. They teased us last week with the dancefloor-ready Work, which turned out to be a sonic marker that title track ZAP continues on from. This is a pricklier beast of a song, but still firmly targets the clubs. … Continue reading

I’m back with K-pop’s wonderfully silly acronyms. Debuting boy group NAZE’s name apparently stands for “New Adventure’s Zestyfull Echo,” which sounds delightfully stupid in a way that’s almost impossible to believe is true. They’re managed by C9 Entertainment, who have previously fumbled the ball with groups like CIX, Cignature and Good Day. With that in … Continue reading
The whole Cortis experience didn’t leave a good taste in my mouth last year, but like so many others I’ve become a bit obsessed with new single REDRED. It’s amazing what a great dance beat can do. But more than that, REDRED feels quintessentially new rather than simply a retreat of western rap tropes. This … Continue reading
BABYMONSTER’s new era opens in earnest today, with lead single CHOOM the first volley of continued promotion over the next month or two. Unlike past efforts, this song was barely teased before the full thing dropped, which always makes me a bit nervous. If you’ve got a killer track, you’d usually want people to know … Continue reading

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 … Continue reading
In connection with my desire to fully keep up with the J-pop industry, I’m planning to do a weekly round-up of any new releases that have caught my ear. Some of these may have been covered on the blog already, but my hope is that this will become a one-stop shop for anyone interested in … Continue reading
