Just A Little Fangirl Love

Release date: 2026 August 19 Album tracklist: BiiiG Album runtime: 02  minutes  One of the singularly best concerts I've ever seen. Full stop. Even my mom, who doesn't listen to them, said she'd absolutely see them again without hesitation. For the record, this absolutely sounds like a BIGBANG song and it doesn't sound out of place in their discography. It's a bit clingy with a simultaneously grungy guitar settled underneath the metallic clanging. But the entire song isn't that way. We've got variation and multiple sections, which is especially ideal given that this song is not even three minutes long. That's the least BIGBANG thing about this song. The introduction is interesting, before the squeal and scratch that heralds the start of the vocals, and it's also oddly James Bond. I don't know how else to describe it. Good news, they're not doing the mumble rap thing. Everyone sounds exactly like they should and Daesung has his moment where he...

Release date: 2026 August 03 Album tracklist: ABD, SUN KISS , Echo, Flip-Flop Girl, GRLS Album runtime: 15 minutes  I don't understand why HYBE didn't have this group debut at Pledis where HSS already is. Also, for all the news articles that mention him connected to After School, Seventeen, and TWS, I understand why you're not mentioning Pristin. They made a huge splash and are still angrily beloved, but they were short-lived. But NU'EST survived ten years and near disbandment just for y'all to erasure the impact they had? Really? I'm so tired of the NU'EST erasure. I actually accelerated my plan of when to post this because the backlog is large and in charge. But then I found out that this is almost a proper Pledis group and the company Pledis's first subsidiary after twenty years. The company has issues and I'm a little peeved over certain things that have happened recently. However. They are NU'EST's little sisters for all intents and purp...

 Alright, Champions, buckle up. I'm full of fire and vinegar over this song. If you remember back in June, I posted One Spark by TWICE because I watched a video on YouTube of the worst releases of 2024 and I took particular umbrage at One Spark being on the list (there was an ITZY release there as well, which I also am incensed about, but I still have to figure out how to bridge the regular reviews with the Expanded Offerings posts, since we're now officially at a time when I could start covering songs I've already reviewed). It was not the only song on there that I immediately wanted to yell about, but I waited for an opportune moment. To the person who made the video, this song is not "boring, idk". The month of Spookening felt like an ideal placement for BADVILLAIN in the same vein that true crime is technically classified under horror, and as the song is now two years old, I mentally slotted it into October. However. Then I decided that I wanted to have Septem...

Release date: 2026 August 20 Album tracklist:  WAVE (feat. Joohoney) Album runtime: 2  minutes  Y'all may not know him by his name, but you probably know who he is. This is Baby Shark Boy. It's funny that this song blew up like this. I remember being at Girl's Camp singing Baby Shark back in 2008, which was the same year that he was born. Wow, I suddenly feel old. This isn't actually his full debut because he debuted in a kid's group back in 2020 in something that in concept reminds me of the Mickey Mouse Club. But this is his official solo debut. Huh. I didn't realize Joohoney was involved in this. We've got a pretty mild, bubbly instrumental for most of the song with the "Baby shark doo doo" that made him famous popping up occasionally, which also provides much of the very bubbly sound to the instrumental. The shift and the key change at the end turns the song into an ending song from something like High School Musical. This is a very bright song...

 Everyone! It is time for the best season of the year! We're back with another batch of songs for the month of Spookening! Whoo! As always, because I am a connoisseur of the creepy, I spend basically all year scouring for the spooky and the dark songs. Basically, if I'm not in a specific mood playlist or my regular listening playlist, I've had my ears buried in spooky playlists. And I found some whoppers, but I can only fit so many into this unless I want to make it four hours long. You'd have to get my personal Halloween playlist if you want one that long though.  It's the most wonderful time of the year! Without any further ado, here are your 2026 Halloween recs: Mirotic by TVXQ! You may be wondering why I'm putting this song in a Halloween playlist when it's famously known for being quite sexy, and sexiness alone does not qualify it for this playlist. However, I'd like to point out the elements of the music video which would qualify it for this playl...

Release date: 2026 August 03 Album tracklist: Surfin' Boy , Hot Girls Cold Vibe, Orchestra, Hula Hoop, Hawaii Album runtime: 15 minutes  Congrats on the win! I was trying to delay listening to this until I got around to the review, because I'm so behind, but now that it's finally time to post the Music Show Wins that this got a win on, I get to enjoy the summer album from the third gen summer queens. I love their velvet concepts because most of them are just spooky and I love that. But their red concepts are some of my favorite hype songs. Call me crazy but this sounds like a minor key. Which fits then that this is a velvet summer per the album title. Well named. There's something odd about the instrumental that I've been trying to put my finger on for a couple of days now, which is why it's taken me so long, but I have to because it got a win. Not that I wouldn't anyway. It almost sounds like a preset on a midi keyboard, or at least like that's the base...
