Just A Little Fangirl Love

Release date: 2026 April 13 Album tracklist: Bed of Thorns, Stick With You , Take Me to Nirvana (feat.Vinida Weng), So What, 21st Century Romance, Dream of Mine Album runtime: 16 minutes  Am I seeing this correctly? Has TOMORROW X TOGETHER released a song that's over three minutes? I mean, there are also three that are 2:3X and one that's under two-and-a-half minutes. And the title track is not one of the longer two. So. But I am all for them getting to have longer songs again. I'd love to see HYBE lift whatever nonsensical ban they have on title tracks longer than three minutes. Even TXT's older brothers didn't manage to escape it last month. The first part of the song has very little variation to it, then we get a bit techno. And then it's back to business. I'm very much enjoying the fact that the song ends a cappella, thought I'm not sure if that's one of their voices with heavy post-production effects or autotune on it or if it's a synthesize...

Release date: 2026 April 13 Album tracklist: Feel Me , Feel Me - inst. Album runtime: 7 minutes  A follow-up single to Blue ? Yes, please. I'm still so in love with that song that it's a little concerning, but if my magnificent main vocalists are going to drop more music, well, then, I'm going to be here for it. I really like Seventeen. If you can't tell.  Most of the song is taken up by a skittering beat but there's enough movement around the skittering that it doesn't feel entirely rushed or oppressive. There's a spot about halfway through where the balance shifts, the beat's volume is decreased a bit, and then it gets turned back up. You can still hear it there, unlike the later spot where the skittering is removed. I like that they're not the exact same. The instrumental doesn't give me quite the rush I always am looking for, but depending on what's going on vocally, this could be a very solid support for the vocals. This is such a soft s...

Release date: 2026 April 13 Album tracklist: Blossom Parade, HMPH!, Born Savage , Lunar Hearts, Think I Am Album runtime: 16 minutes  I know it's been a hot minute since I last did one of their songs, but here we are. I have returned to them.  I love this guitar. There are fun little flourishes that keep the song from being too predictable or stable, which is fun to be hearing. I love what the instrumental is doing during the rapping though. It strips out and mimics the rapping, or the rapping mirrors the instrumental. Either way, it makes for a very distinctive matching sound, and I think it stands out well in the rest of the song. There's also a strong energy build at one point, which I like to see on principle. The car alarm sound effect at the beginning did startle me, but that's good! It's a good addition and a good signal for the start of the song in case you're listening on repeat. I'm loving the rock here, as we expect. And the rapping is in a really goo...

Release date: 2026 April 15 Album tracklist:  We Up - Radio Edit , We Up - Extended Mix, We Up - Instrumental Album runtime: 11 minutes  Look, I'll be completely forthright about this. Found this guy on Instagram a couple of weeks ago, said he was making his K-Pop debut and with an emphasis on the violin. Say less, bro. Y'all know me. But then a couple of days later, I see a reel where he's like "My manager just told me that I'm going to be performing on some of the music shows." The nervous energy on this kid (no idea the age, I'm assuming younger than me and everyone is kid if they're younger than me) had me commenting "I'll make sure to add one of your stages to my music show wins post since I have the spot for extra stages." And he responded. So just so everyone knows, that will be included next week. However, he's also a) a new debut and b) most likely from a very small company, both of which are things that I'm very much wan...

 Hello, everyone! I decided to go back to my origins and use the old roulette wheel to decide on a Greatest Hits from a third gen boy group I have not covered yet. I've been circling around the group quite a lot, ever since the first time I saw their name written in Hangeul and was the first group I read and figured out before I knew them. I did of course check to see if there was a boy group called "HOTSHOT" to see if I'd read that correctly. So, yeah. I'm very curious about this group. They seem really familiar for some reason though, like I should know them more than by name and from After School Club. ...Ah. I just remembered where I knew them. Produce 101. They were one of the other debuted groups that had members join, and I think the only other group to have members debut in Wanna One. Imagine me looking into the camera like I'm in The Office with a "Welp" expression on my face. That realization as I was looking into them for this section dipp...

Release date: 2026 April 13 Album tracklist: Bubee Album runtime: 3 minutes  I didn't do this when the original Japanese version dropped just because if I remember correctly, there were a lot of releases at that time. Not that there aren't a lot of releases now, but if I skip the song again, I'll feel bad because ILLIT deserves the attention as well. Okay, we've got a skittering beat on this one, but crucially, it doesn't take up the entirety of the sonic landscape for the song. It's a really interesting choice, for reasons I'll talk about during the vocals, but there are actually quite a few different sections to the song, which makes me happy to have a good level of variety going on in here. We also get over three minutes of song, which means that there's room to have that much song. Thank goodness. It's very cute.  The cuteness does extend to the vocals, and there are a couple of spots where you can hear the fact that this song started off life as...
