Just A Little Fangirl Love

Release date: 2025 March 18 Album track list: BEBE , DIAMOND, PIPE DOWN Album runtime: 8 mi nutes  Doing this one now because of the music show win, so congrats, STAYC! I was going to get to it eventually, but now is as good a time as any for this. I haven't found a song I really like from the group, though also to be fair I've only heard like four songs by this group, so I cannot definitively state that I am ambivalent towards their songs. I assume I'll find one. It just hasn't happened yet. Maybe it will be this one! There's a weird disconnect between the vocals and the instrumentals. I like them separately, but they don't seem like the same song together. There's a lot of synthy goodness going on in this song and some bright disco overlays to the percussion. There's also somewhat of a twinkling vibe going on here. I will say, and this is going to follow over into the vocals, that there's a part where both are going in a rolling staccato, that I ab...

  Well, all sorts of groups got wins this week, along with a Triple Crown! Congrats to all the groups for their first win for the songs! There isn't a single song that won on more than one show this week, which I like for the sake of diversity, and that means lots of different stages to share with you all. Also, three of the wins were with YG affiliated soloists/groups. After School Club had TNX (the group formerly known as The New Six) on, which was cool for them to talk about their new song before it comes out. Also, the amount of times they said something like "We didn't ask the company for permission, but it's fine" was hysterical, and one of the five of them is an absolute character. He's a delight. Also, the MCs on ASC announced this was the final episode of season 1 of ASC, which has lasted for twelve years, so they'll be going on hiatus for a little bit before the next season. So rather than just not include an ASC performance at all, because I can...

Release date: 2024 October 30 Album tracklist: GPT , Meant to Be, GPT - Instrumental, GPT - Acapella Album runtime: 13 minutes  I've heard them perform, and I'm vaguely familiar with them, but otherwise I don't know much about them, so I need to take a minute to look at the group. Ah! Yes! I remember that xikers's Seeun did a challenge or something with STAYC's Seeun. They pass the maknae age test, so we are good to go and golden! Also, can I just say, I really  love that we get both the instrumental version and the acapella version. That satisfies a lot for me.  Five seconds in and I'm in love with the song. I really hope that it continues with the old timey sound. I'll be sad if it doesn't. It does not, which is disappointing, but the instrumentals that continue feel like a natural continuation of the intro. Going from something that sounds like it comes from The Lawrence Welk Show  to something that sounds more disco is well-done and rather clever. Th...
