Just A Little Fangirl Love

Release date: 2026 October 12 Album tracklist: Killin' Me, UNDEAD , Insidious, 3AM, Bloody Gravity, Other Side, Our Light, Steal the Thunder Album runtime: 21 minutes  I'm going to be completely honest here. I forgot he was debuting as a soloist. Luckily, YouTube and the algorithm I have built brick by brick have my back and when I tried to go to bed last night with my Resident Evil Let's Play I've been watching to go to sleep to (it's actually the  Resident Evil 2  remake, but I'm not going to quibble too much), one of my recommended videos was his debut music video. So, here we are. I am loving the titles of these songs though. I'm sensing some spookiness here and I am here for this. Yes. Oh, you want me to actually say more about this. Fine. The instrumental feels like a slightly more rock version of Thriller  by Michael Jackson and Back In Time by Huey Lewis & The News. It's zombie party eighties rock with a dose of the modern flare. I'm alr...

Release date: 2026 August 03 Album tracklist: Dancing On The Moon , Dancing On The Moon (Inst.) Album runtime: 6 minutes  Okay, LEEBADA is an indie singer-songwriter. She's not to be confused with Bada Lee, the choreographer who did Guilty by Taemin, Maestro by Seventeen, and Talk Saxy by RIIZE, or Bada, the leader of S.E.S. I'm reviewing her song because I selected it for an extra stage on a Music Show Wins post, which I'm wildly behind with as I am in most things right now. But she needs the attention, which is why I'm giving it to her. I have not heard the song yet, though. I don't think I've heard any of her song yet, which will make this a fun experience for me. This instrumental is an odd combination of Disney Channel rock and Final Fantasy X-2, but the best parts of those two very different things, if that makes sense. The rock is the strongest part and it spent a lot of time there with the guitar and the drums as the most dominant instruments, but the...

Release date: 2026 October 01 Album tracklist: Never Again Album runtime: 3 minutes  You know what I want? I want for VIXX as a whole group to have a comeback. It's time. I want to review a new VIXX song. We need the Kings of Concepts back. I will accept their solo work as an acceptable replacement, however. There's already a piano cover of this song on YouTube. As there should be since the piano is definitely the dominate instrument going on here. Actually, you want to know what this instrumental reminds me of? Hopelessly Devoted To You from the musical Grease . It's not quite as power ballad, but it's got a similar timbre. It's a beautiful instrument and I'm kind of sad that we don't have just the instrumental to listen to. There's something very sad about a slow, solo piano, but I imagine for people who are not me and need something specific to go to sleep to, this might actually make a good song to sleep to. Ah, listen to that. Listen to Leo's du...

Release date: 2026 October 21 Album tracklist:  360° , Devil, Ender, Pebbles, Swim Across The Sea, A Sleepless Night -Japanese Ver.- , Jinsei Sanka, Countdown, Shintouya, Slow Motion Album runtime: 4 minutes  There are so many songs I could do. But I also really like CNBLUE and even though I don't do a lot of Japanese releases, I'm choosing to do this one regardless. The album doesn't actually come out until the 21st, so I don't know how long this is going to be, but the title track is four minutes so I'll leave that as a placeholder until this is actually released. Listen to that starting guitar. It's so weighty. That weightiness carries through a lot of the song and gives it some very nice heft. But you know what has my attention? The violin. I was not expecting that from this band, but any time a violin shows up, the song has my attention. This is gloriously cinematic in a most wonderful way. This is just settled in a way I really love to see. And I love how...

Release date: 2026 August 07 Album tracklist: 5 Stars ; LA LA LA LUNE ; GET OUT ; Lemonade; OMW; Wonder Why; Medicine; At least, I tried; Forever Young Album runtime: 28 minutes  I am so behind with him. It's fine. It's fine. I'm including this song as an extra stage on a music show wins post, which is why I'm doing this now instead of trying to catch up with the October songs. But also this is my man Junhee. This sounds like something The8 would release, which is just fun. The instrumental is a little bit intense for how gentle the vocals are. It's not intense the entire time, which is good because the song does need it for the variation, but it's supportive, which is what we ask for from songs, even if it's a little overwhelming for the vocals. Junhee is getting very close to rapping here, which is delightful. He's got one of those voices that are incredibly distinct and while this song doesn't show off exactly how strong his voice is, it does show...

Release date: 2026 October 08 Album tracklist: Fairy Tale Album runtime: 4 minutes  Holy crap, y'all. If I'm looking at this correctly, it has been six years since their last comeback, and they turned ten this year. Wow. We're also down to three members of the original six, but  Listen to that piano. Honestly, the vibe of "fairy tale" was nailed with a sledgehammer with this instrumental. It's got spots where it's a little sparkly but it's just soft and pretty for so much of it. We don't even have drums for most of the first part of the song. We get a little bit of a violin before we get any sort of drum set, which I am here for. I love violins in the instrumental. But this is genuinely just so soft and I love it. The piano is doing all of the heavy-lifting here.  They've got amazing voices. Why didn't they blow up? I'm genuinely asking that question because their last comeback was before I even started listening to K-Pop. Also, T'C...
