The Top 40 K-Pop Album Tracks & B-Sides of 2018 (Part Two: 20-1)

Posted on December 20, 2018 by Nick • 4 Comments

2018 was a fantastic year when it came to album tracks. In fact, many of them were stronger (and more interesting) than their title track counterparts. This makes for a very competitive top 40 list. Check out yesterday’s first part of the countdown, and read on for the top twenty of the year! NUMBERS 40-21 … Continue reading →

2018 in K-POP so far: Risers & Fallers

Posted on July 5, 2018 by Nick • 10 Comments

As part of my 2018 mid-year retrospective, it’s time to look at those songs that either rose or fell as the months have passed. Some songs are slow-burners. Others impress in the moment but fizzle out quickly. And sometimes, a song surpasses expectations to become a cultural phenomenon. This year has actually seen more risers … Continue reading →

In the months since its conclusion, season two of Produce 101 has dramatically altered the k-pop landscape — at least when it comes to boy groups. Its reach extends to so many corners of the industry that it can be difficult to keep up with it all. That’s where this handy guide comes in, as … Continue reading →

Top Three K-Pop Songs of January 2018

Posted on February 1, 2018 by Nick • 7 Comments

At the end of each month, I look back at my three favorite title tracks by k-pop artists. I take my own ratings into account, but there’s a bit of wiggle room as certain songs tend to grow or fade. January 2018 Overall Thoughts It’s a brand new year, which means all possibilities are on the … Continue reading →

Buried Treasure: Rainz – Open Ur Heart

Posted on January 27, 2018 by Nick • 5 Comments

Most of the time, a k-pop group’s title track is the best song on their album. But, sometimes b-side tracks deserve recognition, too. In the singles-oriented world of k-pop, I wanted to spotlight some of these buried treasures and give them the props they deserve. Though I would rather have seen Rainz stick with the … Continue reading →

Song Review: Rainz – Turn It Up

Posted on January 24, 2018 by Nick • 7 Comments

Quite frankly, Rainz’ new single is a mess. Cobbled together by no less than seven songwriters, Turn It Up lurches from one idea to the next without a lot of fluidity. But some of k-pop’s most enduring classics have a piecemeal, anything-goes appeal. So the question then becomes, is Turn It Up a successful mess, … Continue reading →

Song Review: Rainz – Juliette

Posted on October 13, 2017 by Nick • 12 Comments

Season 2 of Produce 101 was such a phenomenon that it has spawned not only its winning act, Wanna One, but other project groups as well. Rainz consists of seven fan favorite trainees from the program, debuting and promoting for one year. However, it’s not the members that piqued my interest, but the involvement of … Continue reading →
