Well, this is a mixed bag... and not what I expected.
Where do I start? Not going to lie, I was pretty anticipated for this, especially considering how they pre-released "Illusion", which was pretty good, only to learn that was the best song out of the rest.
The eponymous title track is great and it's a pretty good expansion to the "Kwangya" theme and their previous TT "Savage", but the chorus needs more time to grow on me. "Illusion" is for SURE the ... read more
The results for NiziU's first album "U," comes out with interesting results.
᛫ The lead single, "Chopstick" is seriously catchy. I usually don't hear music like this in the industry, so it's refreshing. The rap and chorus are the highlights of this song.

Then, for the singles on here, we have "Bad Habits" with ... read more
CL seeks a new chapter with her debut, and strongly adequate album, "Alpha".
"Alpha" comes just after CL's departure of YG Entertainment. After which, time was spent on wrapping up some of her previously scrapped songs and sneaking them into "Alpha", similar to the previous project, "In the Name of Love". The overall result of this album actually delivers, and is exactly what I pretty much imagined. Unfortunately, here isn't necessarily anything ... read more
