TAEYEON - INVU
72
Which is better in your view - An artist putting forth an attempt to explore different sounds and switch things up, or sticking to their signature sound?

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 - 𝐈𝐍𝐕𝐔 𝐛𝐲 𝐓𝐚𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐨𝐧

Taeyeon is a special case in K-Pop. She is a generational talent - a girl who possesses an unworldly vocal range, who utilises both her chest voice and falsettos to express her palette of emotions ... read more

유키카 [YUKIKA] - Time-Lapse
70
Yukika's career ends on a high with one last citypop rush.

𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐨𝐩 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 - 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞/𝐋𝐚𝐩𝐬𝐞 𝐛𝐲 𝐘𝐮𝐤𝐢𝐤𝐚

Yukika returns with a EP of remakes of citypop tracks, spanning from 90s Korean hit "I want to be closer with you" to Junko Ohashi's "Telephone Number". The quality is great, as expected from the artist's discography. Sublime production with amazing arrangement as her soothing vocals ... read more

NewJeans - Get Up
85
One of the best K-pop releases of all time by one of the strongest K-pop bands ever.

To this day I am still wrapping my head around the incredible debut year by NewJeans - started in July 20222 with their debut EP, which included two singles ("Hype Boy" + "Attention") that sent them straight into Billboard Hot 100, "Ditto" and "OMG" continued their success and solidified their stamp on pop culture, and now an EP with practically 4 singles to close ... read more

IVE - After Like
75
Disappointed with the approach, but still very enjoyable.

The teaser promised so much with the ‘I Will Survive’ strings sample, but turns out, it only appears towards the very end of the chorus. The house/nu-disco approach, although shows the ambition, leaves much to be desired. Still, as a standalone pop single, ‘After LIKE’ is a catchy tune with killer parts. What I’ve learnt from ‘ELEVEN’ and ‘LOVE DIVE’ is that, IVE songs aren’t ... read more

Red Velvet - The ReVe Festival 2022 - Feel My Rhythm
85
Red Velvet DESTROYS The 7-Year Curse With Facts and Logic.

𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫, 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫, 𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫, 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 - 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐 - 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐌𝐲 𝐑𝐡𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐦 𝐛𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐝 𝐕𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐭

Here’s a little bit of context. Red Velvet first debuted in August 2014, and Yeri was introduced to the group in March 2015, which the members and most ... read more

STAYC - YOUNG-LUV.COM
79
The ‘STEREOTYPE’ singers establish that they are a force to be reckoned with through a scintillating mini-album that sets the bar even higher.

𝐍𝐌𝐄’𝐬 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐎𝐧𝐜𝐞! - [𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐆-𝐋𝐔𝐕.𝐂𝐎𝐌] 𝐛𝐲 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐘𝐂

BEP strikes again! As producers who’ve spanned a luscious career in the Korean music industry and created beloved hits including “Likey” by Twice, “Gotta ... read more

Hey Eliis
Congratulations on your inclusion in the new AOTY user reviews guide! One or more of your reviews are included, so I'll let you browse the list. This is an evolving list, so it will be possible to participate again. Don't forget to put a "like" and, if possible, promote this list for the benefit of all long review writers! https://www.albumoftheyear.org/user/doublez/list/186157/long-review-aoty-guide/

After that, the list will be gradually added to, a bit like RYM's "featured reviews" on the front page. So if you're interested, please shoutout 4x AOTY review links, including at least 1 from you and 1 from another user. (Reminder: minimum 3,000 characters). Finally, if you don't want to be included in this list because another user has chosen you, please let me know.
In parallel, I have just published my second review of my new series "No Sleep on This: https://www.albumoftheyear.org/user/doublez/album/20799-from-a-compound-eye/
and my list has just been published: https://www.albumoftheyear.org/user/doublez/list/182368/no-sleep-on-this/
Thank you in advance for your support. Love

Hey Eliis
I hope you're well! Voila, I'm launching a new list of communities that I'm offering you to participate in (if you want to, of course). This is the first wave and I've thought of you for the launch. To pay tribute to all the enthusiasts of this site, "Long Reviews - AOTY Guide" will group together all the reviews of over 3000 characters (minimum) that users wish to highlight because they are particularly proud or fans (Regardless of publication date). The aim is to give priority to writing, without underestimating oneself, as the list will above all be a place for sharing, with everyone having a place here. You'll have several choices: either submit your own reviews, and/or submit those of others. In the interests of sharing, we'll initially try to limit the number of reviews appearing on the list. For example, it won't be possible to have more than 2 reviews included per user. To continue..

Reviews have two great effects in my opinion, one's to recommend audiences to listen or not listen to that particular record, and two, to potray their emotions so as to echo the audience's as well. ...

This is a record of all the 2021 releases I've listened to and rated. I wasn't able to make a list throughout the year last time since I joined mid-year, but this time, I finally have the chance ...

Just a list to make sure I listen to the albums I wanted to before and hoping that these records won't fade into the all-consuming void.
