Music Show Wins:: Week of 01/07 - 01/13

Image
  And the music shows are officially back with new episodes, which means new stages and new wins! Whoop whoop! Although there's only actually one song on this list of wins that is a new release. Some of them on here are months old, which is kind of fantastic. I expect to see newer songs moving forward, but for now, this is a good last hurrah for some of them. Unless they get more wins. For the After School Club performance, I've picked EVERGLOW, ep. 475 from 2021. The vocals on those members. Whoo. They're also delightfully chaotic and I was entertained watching them (also, they got a win for this song on The Show, which continues to prove my point). For the past The Show stage, I picked one for WEi. And while I normally would have picked another stage from one of the shows this week, last week while I was wandering around looking for stages, I found this one from ATEEZ's debut song after I'd already picked one for last week. So, I put that one for this week, which ...

Song Review:: WEi: Wonderland- Home

Image
Release date: 2025 October 29 Album tracklist: HOME , DOMINO, One In A Million, Gravity, Everglow Album runtime: 16 minutes  You know what I miss most about K-Pop groups? Official fandom colors. Seventeen with their rose quartz and serenity. SHINee with their Pearl Aqua. NU'EST with bright pink and deep teal. (I'm expecting TWS to get fandom colors as well, judging by Pledis's past boy groups and they are ostensibly still independently functioning...). I also love it when we get as specific as a Pantone color, which WEi has three of: 297C, 281C, and 7679C. I got on to check ages just to make sure. I figured, because of the 2020 debut, but that just decreases the odds, you know?  Oh, this is a pretty song. I've heard a few similar songs recently that are a bit more energetic vocally, because with the combination of the acoustic guitar and the percussion that could be on the calmer side of instrumentals, it's actually pretty versatile. We got the calm song this time t...

  Hello, everyone and welcome to this week's one-stop shop for the music show wins! We are down two music shows, which is unfortunate because that means fewer wins, but we do have a first win for a song!! Whoo!! For the After School Club re-run due to their ongoing hiatus, I'm handing you ep 453, featuring the boy group WEi! First episode of 2021, first time WEi was on, and while its their debut song, they were about a month out from their second mini album. Hosts were Jamie, Heejun, and Jaeyun (AKA Jayn Lee).

Music Core: ALLDAY PROJECT "FAMOUS" Inkigayo: N/A ASC Performance: 20210105 WEi "TWILIGHT" The Show: N/A

Song Review:: WEi: THE FEELINGS- NOT ENOUGH

Image
  Release date: 2025 January 15 Album tracklist: NOT ENOUGH , 143 ILY, FAKE LOVE, Top Shape, WITHOUT U Album runtime: 14 minutes  So I, for some reason, thought they were a girl group. I don't know why I thought this. I'm obviously mistaken. But that's okay! They're very obviously not a girl group, and they're obviously active, so the next time I run across their name or them, I'll remember. WEi is part of the slightly unfortunate batch of COVID debuts though, and I feel bad for them, but given that they've managed to survive this long, which is not something every 2021 group can boast, I hope they have continued and expanding success. The song does a really good job of keeping to a mellow stroll through most of it. The chorus has a little bit more of a burst of energy, which immensely helps snap the song out of the lulling rut it could have fond itself in. It's a very stable rhythm for the energy, which is itself a little lulling. This is of course only...
