What happened to the promising debut mini-album they gave us? This one is just bland and generic k-pop.

BVNDIT's first mini-album is undeniably a very great project, it's fresh and well produced. It's often that k-pop groups try to mix different genres into k-pop and it doesn't often do well as we tend to get some of the most generic music. But with 'BE!', BVNDIT manages to mix EDM (mostly future bass) and R&B with k-pop, in one solid and cohesive project, we can even get some jazz tones from time to time in the slower tracks.

I never really listened to anything by IZ*ONE but "Secret Story of the Swan", and decided to check some more songs a day before this EP drops.
So going into this, I didn't expect much from them because of what I already heard. But let me tell you something, never come to an album with pre-conceived thoughts about it (EVERGLOW proved with 'LADIDA' that even if you've been making average k-pop since debut, it's never too late to come up with one the best k-pop release of the year; not ... read more

What a great debut wow, probably the best of the year. It's very cohesive and doesn't sound like anything we're already too used to. It feels like they already got their own sound and know where they're heading at. I'm really excited to see what's next for them!

With his debut, KAI (EXO) shows a promising project with many great songs and a pleasant aesthetic.

The title track "Mmmh" is very good, and it's nice to see a tt that isn't a song with another one of these huge bass drops (which is something we don't find anywhere on the album). It doesn't try to follow any of the huge trends words for word but mix what is popular with a more modern sound.

Overall, I liked the production on every song but on "Reason", where the heavy 808 ... read more

Miley is definitely back and delivers an album that mixes rock and 80s pop.
From super raw and upfront tracks like "WTF Do I Know" and "Gimme What I Want" to the catchy singles that are "Midnight Sky" and "Prisoner" and powerful ballads such as "Angels Like You" and "Hate Me"; we get to see it all. There is some miss like "Bad Karma" but I don't think it's that bad anyway.

The opening track "WTF Do I Know" is as I ... read more

Not his best for sure, but not horrible either. The rhythm is catchy but it's a bit too much always the same.

I don't know but I like it, I like his way of telling stories even if it can sound somewhat cringey at times.

This is an okay revisit of the classic "3e sexe", it's modernized and works just fine, I like how their voice sounds and Chris brings her soft yet powerful touch to it. But apart from that, there's nothing much to it, if it was a brand new song it would have been quite deceiving, to be honest, but it works because the melody of the original song is well known and catchy (and I personally like it). The production quality is missing which is surprising from Chris who released my fav EP ... read more

This is such a great EP, I think she sounds wonderfully well. The lyrics as very nice and the production is simple yet interesting.

It's effortlessly catchy and if the next singles of whatever drop next are of that kind, we might get a great and surprising project from her.

it's so kool, now imagine them performing it live together with a rock band <33

Honestly, this album has potential, it gots some nice vocals and a few great tunes. It's also so nice that each of them took part in the writing and production at some point in the EP.

The first 3 songs are, to me, the best tracks. It's different from what they've done before and I wasn't expecting this kind of stuff at all. It's way less for the mainstream market they tend to want to appeal to and it feels great to hear something different. Their vocals are great there and maybe the only ... read more

yes, me too i'm a strawberry soda

After the very promising songs girl in red released this year, we are given a sweet Christmas themed piano ballad where she manages to bring her own sound to the basics of a Christmas ballad.

The song is centered around a soft piano melody and Christmas like bells. For the chorus, we are in the middle of reverberate drums that surround us of low frequency which made me feel like the music was giving me a warm hug. When we get to the verse a violin comes and goes to highlight Marie's calming ... read more

The song is great, it's a typical quality Joanna song (which means it's good). Laylow's parts are really appreciable as well and their chemistry is perfect. However, I almost feel like it's too simple for them like maybe I was just too excited about this collab and was expecting a production even more researched. But it stays a good song and so are the lyrics (Joanna's writing is always really beautiful and Laylow can write some pretty good stuff as well). The MV is so pretty as well and has a ... read more

watch me dance to this rn

i thought i already rated it before but apparently i didn't and i'm happy about it as it made me listen to this bop again!

Their AI took differents elements from different groups that already make stuff based on already heard music and put it into some software and where like there we go, kpop!
(but do i still listen to these groups? yes! why? bc im a kpop stan and love the members more than i should! and will i keep on listening to this? yes! why? bc it’s catchy and im a clown!)

I'm just going to talk about the visuals as I was worried because some of the teasers seemed like they were taken out of ... read more

If I remember well I first got in touch with them because 3 out of them did a live on 1thek youtube channel where they performed songs from a certain company in the style of another. I appreciated their voices so it only made sense that I would check out their debut.

More and more groups are going with that synth-pop sound at the moment, so it's totally normal and expected to have a new girl group debuting with that sound as well. The only thing is that you have to make it as great as you can ... read more
