Song Review:: NMIXX: Blue Valentine- SPINNIN' ON IT {Pre-Release}

-

  • Release date: 2025 October 

  • Album tracklist: 

  • Album runtime:  minutes

 Pre-release for their first full album! Whoo! How exciting! And it's over three minutes, so I couldn't be happier about it.

This is one of those times where there is so much going on vocally that my ears are kind of filtering out the instrumental so that I can better hear the vocals. Do I love it when that happens? Yes. But that does make it a little difficult for me to do this part. The places where my ears prick up the most and pay attention to the instrumental were mostly in the middle or the end. There is some interesting, high-pitched vocal mimicry going on. I'm not sure if whatever instrument that is is mimicking what's going on with the whistle, or if the whistle is mimicking the instrument. Realistically, I don't think it really matters in this instance which is which. There is also a saxophone that pokes its nose out toward the end, and that delighted me. But generally speaking, this instrumental is balanced in such a way that it accents the vocals, which is cool. 

They remind me a little bit of LOONA and Dreamcatcher, vocally. We've got vibrato, which is what I want to be hearing, we've got fantastic vocal layering, and we've got that cool whistle that for these purposes, I'm counting as a belt. On top of all of this, they've got such a lovely, rich sound that feels well-supported and strong. I'm genuinely loving this. 

The opening seven seconds are a little...interesting. Has anyone else seen the show Dollhouse with Eliza Dushku? Or played Cyberpunk 2077 with the concept of the Dolls? That's the vibe of where I think this concept is going, only the more sapphic version of that.

August 2025 Wrap-Up: The Witch is Back!

-

 Okay, everyone. Welcome back!!! It's been a hot minute since I've written one of these, but considering how many songs I didn't review over the course of the last three months, I didn't feel like I had enough done to warrant a wrap-up. Still, let's get to it! And yes, the title is a reference to the movie Hocus Pocus , but also, I absolutely adore Nina Simone's . High Priestess of Soul, indeed. Back to K-Pop, first up, our lovely debuts. Now, to be clear, I do have a couple that I'm still planning on covering and once I do, this will be updated, but still. The debuts I covered were N. Top , idntt , AtHeart , Cortis, and soloist ZZONE (cignature/Good Day) . Debuts I'm still planning on covering are Rainbow18 and ZOONIZINI (ASTRO). Other debuts include MADEIN S , OFF EQUALS , IXIA , LIPSTICKERZ , and iii . (I may actually consider LIPSTICKERZ as well because that's a whole mini album and an intriguing concept.) Next section is for the songs I was loo...

Battle of the B-Sides: LABOUM: 빛이 되어쥐 (Be the Light)

-
Image
 Unless I do The Roulette Wheel, I obviously can pick which of the suggestions I've gotten that I'll write posts for. I also have a spreadsheet where I have my posts organized by generation and boy group, girl group, and co-ed. The co-ed groups definitely need more attention, but I'm taking these last few Specialty posts to focus on the girl groups because they're not my natural inclination, and while the Roulette Wheel is weighted equally, I don't like that it's uneven. So, I ignored my normal addition of the B/G/Co-Ed Wheel spin and just did it for a girl group, and I ended up with LABOUM. I'm not sure I've heard of them, so this will be exciting.  LABOUM is a third gen girl group that are younger sisters to U-KISS and Brown Eyed Girls, which is wildly hilarious considering the last GH post I did was in fact for BEG's song Abracadabra . So, that was unintended. 빛이 되어쥐 , or Be the Light  as I will be calling it through this because while it would be...

Battle of the B-Sides:: Stray Kids: MEGAVERSE

-
Image
 Yeah, I'm still continuing this. Needed some mental motivation and then I got a nice little boost, so here we are, here you are, and here this is. This comes to you from The Form , so if you've got a song you want me to highlight, go for it. Throw as many or as few as you want. For the person who submitted this, I hope it finds you. And also for the dance practice you want me to highlight. I too am very much into the dance practices, so I'm deeply looking forward to this. This is my second Stray Kids post for either a GH or a BBS, the first being My Pace , so it'll be fun to do one that is a lot more recent. (I have another one on the list suggested by my Stay friend, so that'll happen eventually) Before I begin with the chatting about the cool bits of the song, if any of you get hit by the Felix Effect, do let me know. If you don't want to let me know here, you can find me over on Tumblr (or wherever else you happen to have found this, I post them in places). ...

Greatest Hits:: MBLAQ: Stay

-
Image
 Summoned for you directly from The Form, it's ironically a song from the same album that I've already done a BBS post from. I chose to do Darling  because of the roulette wheel and shuffle, so that one's on me. But apparently someone out there in the world really likes this album to slide the title track my way as well.  So, I was technically focusing on the repackage album of this for Darling , so you get sort of new information. Released in 2011, this was their first full album. Containing a grand total of thirteen tracks and a runtime of 43 minutes, which averages out to a little more than three minutes a song, it's at a good length, even with the first track dropping the average. It did pretty well on the charts, peaking at second on the Gaon weekly chart and third on the Gaon monthly chart. No music show wins with it, but that doesn't matter because music show wins are not the final dictator of love for a song.  Flashing Lights warning for the music video. Gro...

Song Review:: TREASURE: LOVE PULSE- PARADISE

-
Image
Release date: 2025 September 01 Album tracklist: EVERYTHING, PARADISE , NOW FOREVER, BETTER THAN ME Album runtime: 12 minutes  I did watch the YG announcement for TREASURE, BABYMONSTER, and BLACKPINK. That is a lot of capitalizations. So I knew this was coming and this was on my list of releases I was curious about for this month. I haven't listened to them a lot, much like I haven't actually listened to a lot of BIGBANG, WINNER, or iKON (again, so many capital letters), but when I like one of their songs, I tend to really, really like it. Plus, the members of TREASURE are all adults now, and that's important because at debut, I couldn't have listened to them (maknae was fifteen). So I came it at a good time. The album doesn't quite hit the desired three minute average, but each song is at least in the 2:50 range, so it could be a lot worse. The title track is the shortest of the bunch, but it could be worse. I'd prefer if all the songs got an extra ten seconds,...

Song Review:: Monsta X: THE X- N the Front

-
Image
Release date: 2025 September 01 Album tracklist:  Do What I Want , N the Front , Savior, Tuscan Leather, Catch Me Now, Fire & Ice Album runtime: 18 minutes  Happy tenth anniversary, Monsta X! Everyone but Mr. Maknae I.M has returned from the military, and I'm pretty sure he needs to go this year. But! This is also my first review for September, which means that I have now, officially, been doing this for over a year. Whoo! I did have to round that up, mostly because the first and the last tracks on the album are under 2:45, and while I'm a little surprised that they didn't drop something longer for their tenth anniversary, the fact that they've been rereleasing their older songs both re-recorded in Korean and newly released in Japanese, clearly specifically for their tenth anniversary makes the mini album a few months later better. Do What I Want , despite my already having done the review for it, dropped as a pre-release so it technically doesn't count as the ...

Music Show Wins:: Week of 09/10 - 09/16

-
Image
  Well, everyone, this looks like it's a clean sweep this week. No winner from The Show, which seems to be the least frequently occurring of the bunch, but of the other five, all of them were won by a single group! So congrats to them! That's exciting! It also means that, if you like this song, that's five more stages for you to love. And if you haven't heard it yet, five more chances for you to fall in love with this song. This week for our After School Club re-run is ep. 547 with LE SSERAFIM! It was their second mini album and they were less than six months after debut. As I'm sure you're all aware, because I talk about it ceaselessly, Aron was one of the members of NU'EST that did not renew contracts with Pledis, which means that Aron and LE SSERAFIM were never under HYBE at the same time as debuted artists, so this could have been their first meeting. Interesting, huh? Yunjin was not present for this, unfortunately. The games and stuff were really fun to...

Song Review:: ZEROBASEONE: NEVER SAY NEVER- ICONIK

-
Image
Release date: 2025 September 01 Album tracklist: ICONIK , SLAM DUNK , Lovesick Game, Goosebumps, Dumb, NOW OR NEVER (Korean ver.), EXTRA, Long Way Back, Star Eyes, I KNow U Know Album runtime: 32 minutes  It feels like Slam Dunk came out absolutely ages ago, but I guess it only came out the end of July. Which, again, to be fair, feels like it was absolutely ages ago. Time is a soup. We have an excellent run time on this album, with an average of over three minutes per song, which is impressive because 40% of the songs are under three minutes and one of them is barely two-and-a-half (I'm really looking forward to that one, though, because it's not a title track and I'm very curious about its title). And shout out to the four-minute song! The pre-release was energetic and sporty. This one is smooth and a little noir. It's not full noir, but if they were wearing suspenders and fedoras, doing whatever else, it would make a lot of sense. I'm also reminded a little bit of...

Song Review:: BoA: Crazier- Crazier

-
Image
Release Date: 2025 August 4 Album tracklist: Crazier , Healing Generation, It Takes Two, Don't Mind Me, How Could, What She Wants, Up And Down, Love Like This, Like I Like, Hit You Up, Clockwise Album runtime: 17 minutes  One of the Queens of K-Pop is back! Queen BoA! The legend you are! My girl needs no introduction. Eleven songs on her eleventh album with an average of three minutes per song. The title track is a little short, but the last one is nearly four minutes long. Happy as a clam, I am. I have the single she released in May on my list of songs to cover, but even though I'm so behind, it is on the list. Grungy guitar and a firm drumline make up the majority of the instrumentals for this song, but there's enough play to it that the rock feels fun. It's intense and driving, but the little trills and echoes of the melody with the guitar give the song so much character that it's hard to ignore. Like, I know that this is short, but I'm genuinely so in love w...

Song Review:: Dayoung (WJSN): gonna love me, right?- body {Debut}

-
Image
Release date: 2025 September 09 Album tracklist: body , number one rockstar, marry me Album runtime: 8 minutes  I've got kind of a soft spot for this group because one of them was born on my best friend's birthday. It doesn't take much for me to just add people to my list of affection, which is probably why the list of groups I like to listen to is ridiculously long and distinguished. We also got three songs with this single, which does feel a little like an oxymoron, and there isn't a capital letter to be seen. Fascinating. But congrats on the solo debut! I'm sure you'll do well! The title track is under three minutes, but it's kind of close, even though the runtime is short. So, I think (not positive, but I think) that this is trap music for the instrumental. I've had to learn about a lot of different, unfamiliar genres over the past year or so (the ones I know well have been wholly useless for the most part), and I'm not always confident on it. St...
