/put this into a comparison with 阿张rayzhang .

being unserious , common and popular-ized is not being mediocre
the lack of ability is what leads to every disadvantage

通俗 不正经 并不会导致音乐人的作品不够好
能力不足是一切问题的根源
包括DJ DIDILONG在内这些种种案例证明了
像阿张这样的新时代谐星'音乐人'
实际上距离上限还有很大的空间可探索

SE SO NEON is going astray for real .

Musicality from this album , the sound is not even as a powerful as sombr's <I Barely Know Her> (though he is being criticized heavily). And the repetitive song-structure & chords provides no expectation . Only some of those signature-synth-sound serve as a reminder of SE SO NEON identity .

The whole picture of this project is weak , hollow and messy(even not in a good way) . Songs like #3 New Romantic #6 Small Heart might keep some of SE ... read more

things getting even more out of my mind now ...
蔡徐坤 is actually collaboring with Andrew Neely(one half of the duo THEY.) and lophiile(beatmaker , produced for DUCKWRTH , H.E.R. , polyphia , Mick Jenkins , Hope Tala , etc ...) right now ? And made this Silk Sonic-like . I was expecting this man to release so soulful LP this year after his 'Deadman' , somewhat 'Deadman' might be better than 'Magicman2' ... Who knows

finally the complete project of 'A.P.P.'
disappointingly with only three non-prereleases

Somehow from the description of the project it is obviously to say this project is totally different from Chace's figure before his Mandarin time (DJ & electronic music producer), and different from the dance album : his 1st solo project <Belated Suffocation> . This album is highly influenced by '80 年代流行乐 / 80s pop music' , the Michael Jackson&Quincy Jones ... read more

DONT you produce every song with the same 'producers' , we donnot need another i-dle , and please donnot make the girls meaningless copycats . Identity is the MOST IMPORTANT thing in Pop and every producer should've known that , I really wish the girls a better career

Messy as F

The Jolin crew producing electronic music is with some serious misunderstanding .

#6 sounds exactly from the reference of 'Ditto'? , with the chords and structure . K-Idol groups like RESCENE , ifeye are doing much better than this .

The other fillers in the LP are stereotype-d EDM tracks even with some YG producers in the project . If you less favored songs from BABYMONSTER or BLACKPINK , okay they shared some same producers here . I cannot agree more that the ... read more

this is anything but MAGICMAN , this is Jackson Wang soliloquy .

The first release of the MAGICMAN series was highly /soulful /rock-y and representing an alternative side of Jackson . From the concept-visual design we could notice that Jackson's single 'Cheetah' in 2023 was supposed to be part of his MAGICMAN project . But time passed and things happened to Jackson in the years that he even chose a time of hiatus in his career , obviously that swingy traditional rock&roll ... read more

if you ever listened to 김뜻돌Meaningful Stone , especially liked her voice , you d better try this out .

my best-single pick of BLACKPINK , even all the YG-related artists . This one is purely EDM-structure , and with some 'K-Idol cant contained' rumble-bass . The slightly hardstyle ending is also unexpected . Though some of the balanc-ial problems and beginner build-up draw it back a little . Would love to find more from YG

failed to provide more memes or punchlines compared to the original release of <八方来财> . Such a problem all creators need to face sooner or later . Another fun fact is that 揽佬 is actually a 'walking meme' in mando-music-industry for his listener-number in spotify (also other streaming services) . Jay Chou used to be considered 'top impact' (actually nobody outside the mandarin-speakers-realm)until this man shown up . So I am still looking up to his next ... read more

so much a more torturing experience compared to the latter release .
I supposed to image Kesha as an 'alternative-oriented popstar' , and the starter few minutes gave me expectations .
Starting with a Drone-like was very unexpected , but to the middle , to the second half of the LP , even the collaboration with Hudson Mohawke sounds very childish with the drum pattern choices

non progressive structure , some kind of 'K-Pop preferred EDM-structure' if you know , half of the song was designed for the Baile Funk drop , there is no transit or hint before that . And the highlight part is the only thing

if betcover!! was considered having a bad mixing , this is almost shitty on streaming services .

So weird , separated and isolated . How do you switch from /Breakbeat to /Alt-Rock , for the first half I thought this is an Electronic album . Seems that the artist just had too much to express but too little to support her ideas

clean , aggressive and boring ,that's how the YG / ex-YG prod , this is even above average

'Chinese 070 shake' , yep , that idea came to me the first time I listened to this , because of one recommendational message from music streaming service , of the song #3天赐的声音 she collaborated with P-Kid . The performance in the project focused more on melodic parts , that made this sounded like the recent-era alt-R&B instead of rap . Just like 070 Shake / L'Rain , way better than Tirzah .

Some others also mentioned her similarity with other artists a lot . The way ... read more

Better for a listening-experience adding Blues flavor (inviting famous producer in the genre: Fergus Chow / Derrick Sepnio) at the beginning . Though ...

I think I am being too intolerate of 'Pop Pops' right now . I cannot listen to a song for full-length with beginner arrangement and predictable lines . Similar singing won't make you another Cheer Chen , and no one need another Cheer Chen . No stand-outs meant absolutely being mediocre

might got too typish on some beats / genre focus , but the creative designs made it up . I would consider this to be a better modificational / alternative try-out of the XGALX success but in the mandopop-scene , compared to the 'R.E.D' . For there are 'more characteristics'

to the second-half of the project I could not neglect but to notice : some of the intonation are not that 'in tune' compared to those Big-Company-Prods , suggesting there was less ... read more

it is just not outstanding enough , but not enough to be bad . some just judge from his actor-singer being to express hatred , though most are much more amateurish in music than an actor , never picked up an instrument throughout whole life . And would some just stop compare anything to BCNR like you listened to nothing else .This is absolutely more similar to <Diamond Jubilee> rather than BCNR's <Happy Birthday> just because of the title
