Release date: 2026 August 07 Album tracklist: 5 STARS; LA LA LA LUNE ; GET OUT; Lemonade; Wonder why; Medicine; At least, I tried; Forever young Album runtime: 28  minutes  Hi, everyone! I'm still here! If y'all remember his solo debut , y'all will remember that I am kind of head over heels with his voice. And I would be happy to shout to the heavens about his voice. Also, can we just be excited that he's got Wow on the album with him on one of the songs? I've got a soft spot for Wow because he's the one that laughed at me. But still! I love it when they have their groupmates on their solo stuff. And look at the runtime! I knew I liked him. This is not quite clubbing EDM music. It's very close to it with that beat style and the synthy grind that reminds me a bit of a metal key being dragged across a piano string, but the beat is just slow enough that it doesn't have the energy for clubbing. The use of silence is very well-done to help break up the song, ...

Release date: 2026 August 07 Album tracklist: RUN IT , THIS & THAT , After You, FARMING, I Do, Way Out, Back Then, This & That - (Festival Version) Album runtime: 25 minutes  Look at all the capital letters. I know that you all can't see my handwriting because you're reading it on a screen and not in the notebook I first wrote this review in, but yikes. Ooh, maybe that's what I'll do as part of the year-end wrap-up: I'll take some pictures of these reviews and post them. I have no idea if anyone will care, but I like behind the scenes stuff so maybe someone else will too. Anyway, happy birthday, Changbin! You're the big 2-7, so enjoy your twenties while they last! It's interesting that THIS & THAT and RUN IT are tied for streams right now. Also, I'd like to point out the run time. That's right. This is the first album I've reviewed in a while where not only is the title track over three minutes long, but so is the average runtime of t...

 I'm one song behind in my plan, which is a little frustrating. But I may be able to make it up. Also, quiet shout-out to whoever is reading this little blog from Seychelles. That country popped up in my statistics recently and I've got a huge fondness for them because during eighth grade, that was the country my friend had to do her report on (it was a massive project ranging from planning a vacation in the foreign language class to talking about an issue the country has in English class to writing a paper on the history of the country in history class). So, hello! Welcome! You have a beautiful country and I'd love to visit one day. What does this have to do with this song? Well, just like a country doesn't need to have a lot of landmass or a population that's in the top ten biggest in the world to have an impact on someone, a song does not need to be a title to have an impact. This song just happened to start off life as a b-side and then become the debut track fo...

Release date: 2026 July 27 Album tracklist: .exe , LOCKED IN, W.T.F(un), LIFE IN COLOR Album runtime: 10 minutes  Congrats on the wins! While this song is of a suitable length, the runtime as a whole ain't it. That averages out to about two-and-a-half minutes, and that's with one almost three. It's so nice to have a younger group that isn't on Underage Protocol because then I get to really listen to the songs. This instrumental feels like a boss fight in Nier: Automata , especially in the chorus, although there are spots where both the number and intensity of the instruments drops a bit, providing a great contrast. I love how the song doesn't start with the instrumental, because that means we get a tiny bit of a cappella. There's very little actual softness to the song though, but even in the quieter moments, there's almost a metallic quality to it.  The line "I'm an .exe" makes me snort every time I hear it because my brain goes "Executab...

Release date: 2024 August 27 Album tracklist: Lucky you, LOVE ATTACK , New World, Pinball Album runtime: 11 minutes  I saw this song got a win almost two years after it was released, and my eyebrows went up to my hairline. That sort of thing does happen (looking at you, Woodz ), but it happens rarely enough that it's startling every time. And then I remembered I'd never reviewed this and cursed Past Fangirl for not being on top of things. Major congratulations, though! I'm delighted that y'all gave me more work. This makes me happy. And they're very close to coming off Underage Protocol. Just a few more months. I'm kind of hating myself for failing to cover this when it was released. It's fine though. Because I'm reviewing this song now, I'm going to add it to this year's playlist for the new releases I like the best. The beat is solid without overwhelming the entire song and allowing the vocals to have something to push against o that it doesn...

Release date: 2026 August 03 Album tracklist: ZZAN, Party Rock Rock (prod. Hitchhiker) , Sincerely (prod. Lee Hyun Do of DEUX) , Micheo Micheo , Love Sick (narr. Lee Moon Sae) , For JEONG and LOVE, LIKE IT Album runtime: 20 minutes  The day has finally arrived, everyone, and I am late. So late, in fact, that I forgot there was another song that was a pre-release. But, he has officially debuted. Also, I'm super excited to see him on Zip Daesung, because that's two maknaes who stepped away from their groups by doing trot as their solo debut. I'm also laughing that one of the tracks is both Picheolin and Dino. The piano does such a great fake out for the song. Gorgeous iano and then it's just all trot. If I had to describe this song, which I absolutely do since I'm here, that is like Italian disco, but villa Italian disco, not city. It's surprisingly rural feeling, obviously something I relate to. This is high energy with a strong dance beat, but the kind of dance ...
