Song Review:: Bang Yongguk (B.A.P): If tomorrow never comes

Image
Release date: 2026 June 06 Album tracklist: If tomorrow never comes Album runtime: 2 minutes  The title of this song reminds me a lot of the Garth Brooks song by the same name. There's no way this is going to be related to that song, because there's no way I could get that lucky, so I'll strive to contain that hope so I'm not disappointed. I'm already disappointed by the two-and-a-half minute run time, so let's hope the disappointment ends there. (In case anyone cares about the hyphens I use there, I will refer you to this clip from Ever After , which is the best Cinderella movie and explains a lot about my personality). Old timey. I like it. The instrumental is also a little bit on the watery side somehow, though the maracas definitely make the song more grounded. It's a very mellow song. Even when we get what I have to assume is a dance break there at the very end and the song kind of kicks up into a little bit more energy, it doesn't increase enough t...

Song Review:: Bang Yongguk (B.A.P): nanana

Release date: 2025 December 23 Album tracklist: nanana Album runtime: 3 minutes  I've gotten lazy the last couple of days and missed quite a few reviews. This one, I didn't even know about, but I'm always curious about his songs because he's got such a good voice with a gorgeous tone. I'm not cool with the song length, but I did round it up to three minutes because I'm feeling generous. The bass guitar is actually kind of cute, and that's a weird reaction to be having to it, but it is what it is. This is a very low, masculine song with only the occasional higher chirp or flutter from one of a few instruments, not that the song has a lot of room to have a lot.to have the variety I normally want. But the weight is so satisfying. Did I mention that I love his voice? Rapping or singing, it really makes no difference to me and every song I hear of his just affirms that because it just kind of settles into my bones. And when he gets soft? That's very nice. Thi...

Song Review:: Bang Yongguk (B.A.P): Motion

Release date: 2025 May 26 Album tracklist: Motion, Motion - Instrumental Album runtime: 7 minutes  I have a friend who will be super happy that he released this. I haven't heard it yet, but B.A.P are some of her babies, so I can't imagine she won't be excited. She, like me, really loves the 2012 groups and I think it's hilarious that we didn't originally bond over kpop, but D&D (our characters became joined at the hip rather quickly and also produce probably 90% of the chaos in the party, druid and barbarian. Who would have thought?) I know they  can't go by the name B.A.P, but there's nothing that says I can't call them that. He might actually have been the one to say that in the one clip I saw during promotions for Bang&Jung&Yoo&Moon. All I know is TS Entertainment sucks. Royally. But I also know that this man's voice is in the basement and it sends shivers down my spine. Okay, I'm down with this. Smooth R&B, I'm pretty ...
