Song Review:: ODD YOUTH: I Like You- I Like You

Image
Release Date: 2025 April 15 Album tracklist: Spooky, I Like You , Bubble Bubble, Hot Chicken, Bestie Album runtime: 15 minutes  First comeback from my girls! Yes! You can find my reviews of their first two songs ( Best Friendz and THAT'S ME respectively), and Best Friendz has an English version, and I just love them so much. That's a run-on sentence technically. I don't think I care. I still love Best Friendz so much. ODD YOUTH are still in their first six months, so to recap, by the end of their first year, they'll all be adults except the maknae who will still be eighteen by the end of this year, so I'm allowing myself to err on the side of ambiguity, and I really like them.  Okay, I did a quick listen of the whole mini album, and I gotta say that Hot Chicken is a delight . It's so weird and also is such a strong song, and yes, I'm now partial to it, but I kind of wish they'd gone with that one for the title track because it's so weird. Would ...

Song Review:: ODD YOUTH: Best Friendz- THAT'S ME

Release date: 2024 November 01 Album tracklist:  Best Friendz , THAT'S ME Album runtime: 5 minutes  Guess who just found out there's a music video for ODD YOUTH's s-side!!! That's right! It's me! One of my favorite debuts from 2024 got a music video for the other song on their debut single! Also, guess who just found out she hadn't paid attention to the album information when she posted the debut review! Also me! That's fixed now. My apologies to everyone. So compared to the very cute debut track they had, THAT'S ME  has more of an edge to it. Also, a cowbell. I don't know about the rest of you, but having what sounds like a cowbell show up in a K-Pop song summoned the yeehaw in my ancestry, which was then also very confused because nothing else about this song requires the yeehaw. This is just some good dance pop with some fascinating variations to the instrumentals. There are frequent breaks where there's two or fewer instruments in play, neith...

Song Review:: ODD YOUTH: Best Friendz- Best Friendz {Debut}

Image
Release date: 2024 November 01 Album tracklist: Best Friendz , THAT'S ME Album runtime: 5 minutes  So, last night, I was looking up what the members of Shinhwa have been doing lately, because I would love to see them release a new album, but I'll likely have to wait for another anniversary album. Which is fine. Anyway, as I was looking in to them, I found out that the maknae, Andy, has been busy with groups! (Also, it wouldn't surprise me if he named the company after their first financial success, which is a fabulous song and I love it). He had both TEEN TOP and UP10TION, which is super exciting for me to discover because I like both of those groups. Why do I bring them up? Because ODD YOUTH is the latest group to debut from one of the OGs of K-Pop and join their older brothers, MCND, as one of the active groups under TOP MEDIA. I do have to decide on if I can listen to this group, if I end up liking them though, because yes, the maknae is 16 and yes, they don't have m...
