Song Review: The Boyz – She’s The Boss

Song Review: The Boyz – She’s The Boss

Posted on May 18, 2022 by Nick • 50 Comments

It’s been a dispiriting run of boy group tracks this year. Musical diversity has taken a backseat to cut-and-paste sameness. Same beats. Same attitude. Same bluster. It’s becoming a real challenge to write about these songs in new ways. There’s nothing to analyze or wonder about, and the songs are so stitched together by corporate … Continue reading →

Song Review: ATEEZ – Rocky (Boxers Version)

Posted on May 17, 2022 by Nick • 3 Comments

No, this isn’t a version of ATEEZ’s Rocky performed in their boxers. This is a re-recorded Japanese take on the track that serves as the group’s latest J-pop single. As such, most of this review is simply a cut-and-paste of my “buried treasure” write-up from last year. However, I’m bumping up the bias rating just … Continue reading →

Reviewing Every KIS-MY-FT2 Single: Fire Beat & Inori

In honor of Kis-My-Ft2’s complete videography being uploaded to YouTube (in edited form, of course…), I can’t resist writing about each single. To put this in context for Bias List readers, Kis-My-Ft2 (or Kisumai, as they’re often known) are my J-pop version of Infinite. That’s how much I love them and their discography. Yet, I … Continue reading →

Song Review: Golden Child – Rata-Tat-Tat

Posted on May 10, 2022 by Nick • 36 Comments

I want to be very clear with you, Woollim Entertainment. When I mentally scream into the void about wanting another Golden Child comeback, this is not what I mean. If you’re going to give us another Rata-Tat-Tat, you might as well just keep it. I do not recognize Golcha in this song. None of their … Continue reading →

Song Review: JO1 – With Us

Posted on May 7, 2022 by Nick • 7 Comments

Every since they released Born To Be Wild last year, JO1 have been on my radar in a different way. Now that I know what they’re capable of, my ears are ready for more. And though nothing else has lived up to that high water mark quite yet, I’ve enjoyed becoming more familiar with the … Continue reading →
