Song Review:: Secret Number: Don't Touch

Image
Release date: 2025 August 19 Album tracklist: Don't Touch Album runtime: 3 minutes  So other than an OST done for Business Proposal, this review will mean that I've done both of their most recent songs as it's been almost exactly two years since then. Starlight was part of my attempt to make the obvious favoritism for NINE.i for their songs released in August of 2023 a little more diluted, otherwise I wouldn't have done it. And now, two years later, they've released their next song. I don't know about you all, but I'm concerned about that. I do have to give a shout out, though, because even though this is only a single and it's their first release in two years, we didn't get a two-and-a-half minute song. In other words, I have mixed feelings and a lot of concern. However, because four new members have been added to the group, I do have to take a look at ages, to know if I can listen to this  song. Ages are fine. The new maknae turned nineteen this ye...

Song Review:: Denise Kim (Secret Number): dance with me!

Image
Release date: 2025 July 23 Album tracklist:  dance with me! Album runtime: 2 minutes  So in an interesting turn of events, I had someone on Threads ask me to review this. Which is interesting. As I just said. The curiosity gave me a really big dopamine hit, I'd just like everyone to know this, so I'm going to do it. I can't promise this will always be the case, but this also isn't the first time (the first one was a message on Tumblr for something that was definitely not kpop, and that one wasn't a full review because of a couple of reasons, but I was still honest about it as I am with all of these.) And even though I have been historically interested in keeping this more strongly Korean than just K-Pop adjacent, I'm not opposed to venturing away from there. So I have some investigating to do on this artist. Be back in a tick. It's gone from interesting to surprising and pleasing, not going to lie. This is flattering. So according to Genius, the artist is a ...

Song Review:: Secret Number: Starlight- Starlight

Image
Release date: 2023 August 24 Album tracklist: Starlight , Crazy Love Album runtime: 7 minutes I know literally nothing about this group other than they're a fourth gen girl group. That's it. I have a single song of theirs (it hilariously happens to be this one) in my Junk Drawer playlist, which is filled with songs I just haven't gotten around to listening to, so this will be a nice treat, and also my very first impression of the group. So let's get to it! The song is plagued by much of the same trends that are still going on with girl groups, but this time with a space theme so the airy, floaty vibes actually make sense. One of the cool things about this song is the fact that it takes advantage of a dual speaker system to make the sound of the song bigger without adding anything or actually affecting the volume in anyway. Plus, the song has some very distinct science fiction warbling and warping, and the section where that becomes very blatant is also where the song en...
