April 2025 Wrap-Up: April Showers...

 Howdy, folks and cowfolks!  Starting off with the debuts! I actually have one still sitting in my drafts so that will have to happen eventually, but I also only covered three of the others: CLOSE YOUR EYES , ifeye , and SWEET:CH . I'm still frustrated by certain trends regarding girl group debuts right now, but the two boy groups didn't frustrate me in the same way.  Also debuting were  SKINZ (a virtual boy group), TSSJ (a virtual girl group), VVS , OSDS , HITGS , and  UDTT . I mentioned it in the review I wrote for one of their later songs, but there's also a boy group called VVS and that's also the name of Vanner's fandom.

Interesting thing, I think he was 20 when he debuted with BIGSTAR. Is that where his stage name comes from? Maybe. So, the song has a lot of repetition in the instrumentals, and sounds pretty science fiction warbly, but if it was science fiction from the 70s with some hip-hop dumped into it. It's got a quiet swagger that is occasion...
