Song Review:: SUCTION: Still Hurts {Debut}

Image
Release date: 2026 March 05 Album track list: Still Hurts , Still Hurts, (Inst.) Album runtime: 6 mi nutes  This is the most interesting co-ed group to drop in years, arguably one of the most interesting groups full stop in years. There are two notable K-Pop names in here: Narsha from Brown Eyed Girls and MJ from ASTRO. That right there is a duo to raise eyebrows considering they debuted ten years apart, but to join them are all-rounder entertainer Kwon Hyuksoo and comedian Na Hyunyoung.  I'm getting a very strong second gen vibe from this instrumental, which we get because the debut single includes it. Yay. There are shades of 80s techno as well, which is a delightful combination. There's a strong energy to the song that I'm excited to see how it translates vocally, especially with this combination of artists. Honestly, this instrumental would make for a good workout song if you were in the market for one. Why am I getting Orange Caramel vibes off this song? There's no...

Battle of the B-Sides:: Gain (Brown Eyed Girls): Paradise Lost

 I had to dig to figure out if this was the title track or if it was simply a promoted single. If I am wrong, do tell me and I'll be happy to make those adjustments and changes, but as far as I can tell, this one was not the title track and thus belongs here. I've got some EXID recommendations to do (another one got added to the batch I got from Reddit, so I'm back up to three of them), but I'm trying to spread those out a bit more than what it would be, because if I did those to get them out of my submissions in a row, it  would be six of those posts in the space of a year-and-a-half, which doesn't seem like a lot, but that would be almost ten percent of these. The other submission I currently have (other than the one I've already got locked in for a posting date) is for a boy group and we're going to be pretty heavy on those at the end of this month. So I thought I'd go for someone that is not a boy group and is not in a boy group. This one has been bo...

December 2025 Wrap-Up: Winter is Ahead, But So Is Spring

Image
 Okay, everyone! Last one of the year! Whoo! Let's finish this off strong. Since it's likely that everyone will be reading this after we've hit the new year, no matter where we are, I'm just going to say Happy New Year! May your days be merry and bright! Make sure that you drink enough water and get enough sunlight! Unless, of course, you live somewhere that doesn't have a lot of sunlight right now, in which case, make sure you get your recommended dose of vitamin D to help compensate for that since your natural synthesis is more or less offline right now. Okay, December debuts! I actually covered four soloists who debuted this month. We had Yim Siwan from ZE:A, Chuei Li Yu , Choi Sungyun from Golden Child, and Lee Sungyeol from INFINITE. I have no idea who else debuted as soloists, but I'm delighted to share these guys. Groups that debuted are MEP-C (a multinational girl group) and BEWAVE - Jiun & Yunseul (BEWAVE subunit that tells me I need to add ano...

Greatest Hits:: Brown Eyed Girls: Abracadabra

Image
 I decided to do a roulette wheel so I can let the submissions fill up a little bit more again. Thank you to everyone who has submitted! I will get to them, I promise. In the meantime, I wanted something random, and so I present to you a song that I've heard of, but haven't listened to, though I have heard a couple of songs by the group before.   Brown Eyed Girls debuted in 2006, under Nega Network, firmly marking them as an early second generation group. Sound-G was their third studio album, released mid-2009. It won a Bonsang for Cyworld Digital Music Awards in 2010, another Bonsang went to the group at the Seoul Music Awards in 2009, and several other end-of-year awards for Abracadabra  itself. That's impressive. I'm also deeply entertained that as I was looking through the list of songs the lyricists had written thinking to myself, "Why are these songs so familiar?", I found another song I've written a GH post for, so that's exciting ( VOODOO DOLL ...
