Song Review:: Shin Wonho (Cross Gene): Day & Night

Image
Release date: 2026 October 28 Album tracklist: Day &N ight Album runtime: 2 minutes  This song is woefully, painfully, criminally short, so short that I had to triple check to verify that this was an actual release and not AI garbage and lies. But even though my list of even just the October releases I need to do is long and distinguished, of course I'm going to do the leader of Cross Gene's song, considering I just did a post of theirs for the Expanded Offering. I'm hoping that this is a wonderful addition to the month of spookening because of the album artwork. Well. This was not what I was expecting. We've got a trap beat underneath a generally upbeat instrumental that's also generally weighted down but has a slightly sparkly quality go it. It's good short to have much momentum or change go the song, which is a little bit of a disappointment because of how much I love Fill Me . He actually pulls out a falsetto a couple of times in this song, which helps t...

September 2025 Wrap-Up: School's Back From Summer

Image
 Hello, everyone! At some point, I'm going to feel confident enough in my Korean skills to have part of this in Korean, but today and this month is not that point.  So the fabulous, amazing debuts for the month. The ones I covered were AxMxP and IDID for the groups, CxM for the Seventeen subunit, and soloists Haechan of NCT , Jinny of Secret Number , Junhee of A.C.E , and Nana of After School . The only group I didn't cover was DNA , which is a co-ed group. Songs I was looking forward to: CxM- You mean my Seventeen bias is debuting in an official subunit? You're expecting me not to be excited about this? Junhee- I've been looking forward to his solo debut since he dropped the Your Idol cover.  Woodz- First release post-military service I've covered because I was very lazy over the summer? Yes, please. izna- These are my girls, y'all. Strong rappers. Vocals that are consistently supported. Exactly what I'm always looking for. Catch the Young- Y'all, I ...

Song Review:: Shin Wonho (Cross Gene): Fill Me

Image
Release date: 2025 September 10 Album tracklist: Fill Me Album runtime: 4 minutes  I have no idea who this fellow is, so I'll need to look him up. I assume everything is fine, but I'll just take a quick look so I can place him within the general K-Pop arena. Which of course reveals that my 2012 debuts pop up literally everywhere. I feel like I keep running into them as soloists, which is great that they're continuing music careers, but at the same time, it's a little funny. This of course will not be news to you that he's a member of the apparently still active group Cross Gene, because I helpfully labeled that in the post title above this. They're due for a comeback soon now that the three of them are out of the military. Fingers crossed. I'd like to see a 2012 debut have one. And four minutes of song! I think I just fell in love a tiny bit. It's fine. That's a way to start with a song. I may be adding this to my Halloween playlist because it's ...
