Just A Little Fangirl Love

Release date: 2026 November 06 Album tracklist: DEPENDS,  S.A.D Album runtime: 6 minutes  Alright, I believe XG is now a co-ed group, which is fun because there aren't many of them out and about. New song. Let's do this with a title track that doesn't make me frustrated by the runtime, so well done. This instrumental avoids having a skittering beat, which is a little bit of a surprise considering the popular sound right now relies heavily on one. This one instead has almost a TLC sound to the instrumental. This feels very 90s with a little bit of an eclectic combination of percussion instruments going on, but the eclectic works for the song. It's very weighty, but it doesn't settle. There's very little actual variation in the song, which is a little bit of a disappointment, though we do get a bit of a soft slow down.  I picked TLC on purpose as the comparison because there's something very No Scrubs about the song. We've got some nice vibrato happening, ...

 Here is the song my best friend from middle school selected for this month. I asked her about it months ago (I think the middle of May) because I knew that I would forget to ask her if I didn't ask her when I thought about it and that she would want the extra time to be thorough in her decision. I sent her about five or six compilation videos ranging from "Songs you need to know to keep your K-Pop fan card" to "I'll never stop screaming into the void about the perfection of these nugu groups" and then a few other groups once I figured out where she was leaning. She had a surprising list of songs on her shortlist. FIESTAR and C-Clown were two of the groups, which made me laugh because naturally she'd be drawn to the 2012 groups. I'm genuinely a little bit surprised that she went for this one, but I really like the song. This was one of the groups that I told her to listen to, but it was part of a list of like fifteen of them I gave her back in July w...

Release date: 2024 July 19 Album tracklist: MOUNTAINS , Chk Chk Boom , JJAM , I Like It, Runners, twilight, Stray Kids, Chk Chk Boom - Festival Album runtime: 23 minutes  Oh, my gosh. I never reviewed this. I have literally seen this in concert and I forgot to review it. Okay. Time to rectify this. For the record, my feelings on it have changed to more favorable since this has been released, helped by the fact that this is a fun song to see performed. But the good thing is, the elements in the song are still the same from when it was released. The reason this caught my attention was because I was looking at one of the award show posts from last year to remind myself of my format because I'm working on 2026's KGMAs post and realized I didn't have a link on this song. Shame on Past Fangirl. I know this technically came out before I had started reviewing songs and I was trying to avoid doing most of the songs from that July because I had to put a starting point somewhere, but ...

Release date: 2026 November 05 Album tracklist: TRICKY GIRLS, TiNG TiNG Album runtime: 5 minutes  I'm glad to see they aren't disbanding even though there had to be an announcement that they weren't disbanding even though they'd been inactive for a hot minute. And speaking of minutes, the runtime is garbage. I had to round up for that runtime. Complete garbage. But I'm satisfied that the maknae was seventeen at debut.  This sounds exactly like a looping track for a racing video game, or at least a racing level. Think about it. We've got the high energy to push you for the speed, it's repetitive enough that you can tune it out mostly, and it's got that techno pulse that's so prevalent in racing games. It's very Tron. Most importantly though, it's got enough variation despite how repetitive it is that the song still has its separate zones. Imagine how good this song could have been with an extra thirty seconds and a dance break. I will be the f...

 We're apparently starting this post early, which is exciting for crop of Christmas carols this year. Welcome to the 2026 edition of the collection of the releases and a handful of older songs because there have been years and years of songs on top of the new ones we get each year. I'm going to be updating this post fairly regularly as more songs get released, probably not as frequently until December though.

Release date: 2026 March 20 Album tracklist: Body to Body, Hooligan , Aliens, FYA, 2.0 , No. 29, SWIM , Merry Go Round , NORMAL , Like Animals, they don't know 'bout us, One More Night, Please, Into the Sun, Come Over Album runtime: 41 minutes  We're just going to toss another of the BTS music videos in right now so I can finish getting all of them covered. This one was actually the first song of the album that I learned the lyrics to, even with the Korean later, so bear in mind that I already love it.  There is a heavy weight to this song that doesn't change too much. There are spots where the song smooths out a little and the heavy thump turns into a smoother glide, though no less heavy, but generally the instrumental is largely the same from beginning to end. And it's a heavy instrumental. The contrast between how low the instrumental is and the vocals is the best part of the song. The second best part is that everyone is singing, or at minimum doing the melodic ...
