Song Review:: DxS (Seventeen): essential;- Feel Me

Image
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...

Music Show Wins:: Week of 01/14 - 01/20

  This is an exciting week for the wins! We've got some first wins for songs, which I'm loving, but more excitingly, we had two different milestones happen! First up, we had a group's first win! Congrats to idntt on that all important first win! And with the subunit's debut as well! That's so cool! Second, we had a triple crown from Inkigayo! Congrats to Hwasa for that! It was also girl group domination this week, so that's pretty cool, ranging from second gen (Apink) to fifth gen (ILLIT). I like the range here. Continuing with my stubborn insistence on supporting the smaller groups, this week's After School Club re-run is ATBO on ep. 576 from 2023. I'm not happy that they've been disbanded, but I hope that the members are doing well despite this. For this episode, we didn't have the full list of members as two of them were participating in King of the Masked Singer at the time. I found a really interesting performance on The Show from earlier...

Song Review:: DxS (Seventeen): Serenade- Blue {Debut}

Image
Release date: 2026 January 12 Album tracklist: Rockstar (DK Solo), Blue , Guilty Pleasure, Silence, Dream Serenade (Seungkwan Solo), Prelude of love Album runtime: 19 minutes Well, the day has come, everyone. The main vocalists of Seventeen have arrived with the debut of their own subunit and that means their enlistments have officially been slated into position. At least in my head. I don't know if they've gotten their dates yet, especially since Seungkwan theoretically wouldn't need to go this year, but the pattern persists. Also, I have to laugh a little, because you could take thirty seconds from Seungkwan's song and give it to DK's, and Seungkwan's would still be over four minutes. As far as the title track goes, it's a healthy three-and-a-half minutes. I'm so excited about this one because good vocals are what give me life and considering both of them have voices that literally made my knees buckle listening to them live, as long as they have a goo...
