Just A Little Fangirl Love

Release date: 2026 July 01 Album tracklist: Tuesday. GENE , Stand By Me, Cause I Wanna Feel Your Face, Echo, Comma 9999 Album runtime: 18  minutes  Over three minutes of song. I feel so spoiled right now. I'm also happy to note that even though the group as a whole is on hiatus right now while they work on other things, we're getting activity from the subunit. Good. I like this.  It's got an interestingly watery sound to the instrumental in places, but it's also a bit growly because of that bass in the instrumental. I'm not opposed to what's going on because we've got a couple of different textures going on, sometimes at the same time. But even then, it's not a fast BPM. It's actually surprisingly mild. We've got just a little bit of a vibrato going on with this, but vocally, this is an incredibly dreamy and creamy sound, like a creamsicle (vanilla ice cream and orange sherbet on a popsicle stick, very delicious if you've never had one), with...

Release date: 2026 June 27 Album tracklist:  VIPER , Drift away Album runtime: 6 minutes  Hello! I'm going to reset this month because yikes, I'm behind on June. If I have time, which I probably will if we're going to be honest, I'll do some of the June releases I missed. Maybe even some of the May ones I missed. But you  (yes, you who are reading these words right at this very moment, I'm speaking to you) can help me figure out which of the missing songs I should do. And all you have to do...is ask. Leave a comment. If you're shy, you can always use  The Form  and no one else will ever know you asked me. In other news, UDTT are all fully adults and have been since shortly after debut, which I apparently didn't cover, but I thought I had. Wild. Okay. This is fun. So I actually left this on repeat for a while because I was trying to figure out how on earth I was going to say what I was thinking, which is that this basically sums up to a training montage from ...

 I decided to spend some time this month on artists I haven't covered yet, which includes some younger and some older artists, and also on b-sides, because I've given a lot of attention to the title tracks the last couple of months and realistically, there are a lot more b-sides than there are title tracks floating out in the big wide world of music. People pay more attention to the title tracks for understandable reasons, but I really like the b-sides and they're a different side of groups than you get from the title tracks, you know? So, Candy Shop is a five-member girl group that debuted in 2024 under Brave Entertainment. One of the members is currently on hiatus, and I did review the last song they released, which was March of 2025, right after the maknae turned seventeen. So, as of this year, with the maknae eighteen years old, they're no longer on Underage Protocol for debuting with most of the group underage at debut, which means I get to sniff my way through th...

Release date: 2026 June 26 Album tracklist: BAD,  MAMACITA, TOXIN, Fallin', Body Album runtime: 14  minutes  I'm really, really curious about the music video for this song because I have theories. Despite YouTube pushing this music video on me every time I open the app or go to the website, but I've successfully avoided it so far so that I could watch it for the first time for this review. Which is a little late, but it's fine because it could be like all the other reviews I haven't been doing. (If I skipped a song you'd like my thoughts on, leave a comment somewhere in the blog, or you can use  The Form  because I do have a section for you to select that option. It's also an option to ask for a review of a song I covered for the Expanded Offerings. If you want.) This is a surprisingly sparse instrumental, but there are some weird little additional sound effect. There's a high level of repetition going on here that isn't changed much in texture when ...

Release date: 2026 June 24 Album tracklist: Cosmic , Ring Album runtime: 6 minutes  This is their first release for the year, and ideally (because I know that this is a smaller group, which stresses me out on principle), I'd like to see at least a mini album from them by the end of the year. Preferably a full album, but that's less likely to happen, so I'd be content to have a mini album from them. If this doesn't have some solid choreography, this instrumental is wasted on the song. We've got some sleek R&B music here with a strong beat that's quite repetitious, which I'm not overly a fan of to begin with as we know, and there is a tiny bit of a melody working its way through the song that we can hear, although it's not strong enough for my taste. Still, this is a very strong beat that doesn't send my nervous system into a complete tizzy, because it's not a set of multiple aggressive beats stacked and layered over each other to produce the i...

 I have changed which song I want to do for Jeonghan's discharge song three times now. I considered Pretty U, because I love the bit of the choreography where he does the cheek tapping move. And I would consider it for Joshua because of his iconic mistake, but since he's an LA native born and raised, he won't be getting discharged. And I have the cheek tapping move attached to Jeonghan. It's very cute. Then I thought about doing one of the Japanese releases because he learned Japanese to talk to the Japanese Carats because English and Chinese were already covered. My second favorite Seventeen song is a Japanese release, but I also feel like I want to hold onto Ima for a different occasion. So then I switched to Power of Love , because I liked the symbolism of that and up until a couple of days ago, I had Power of Love locked. Until I suddenly decided, literally the day I finished my post for Something for Ren's discharge, that Power of Love was in fact wrong, and ...
