Reviews of albums old and new from iconic artists and up and coming musicians alike.
IZ*ONE recently made their comeback with ‘Panorama’ and the One Reeler EP, which possibly might be their last comeback. Very bittersweet, and this EP feels like a goodbye. Before I let out my thoughts on the EP, I want to go track by track and talk about each song. So let’s go.

Highup debuted their new girl group Stayc on November 12th, and when they were first announced I was so excited. Stayc has popular actress Sieun in the group, and is managed by Black Eye Pilseung who are famous producers who made music for other girl groups like Apink and Twice.
Megan! Megan Thee Stallion released her debut album, “Good News” and I was thrilled to hear about it because Megan is definitely one of the top rappers right now and plus I love Megan’s personality. She’s just so sweet and confident and funny, so I’m ready to see what her album is gonna be like. So let’s go!
Løren is here! I was so excited to hear that Løren was debuting because I’ve been intrigued by him since I saw him in Rosé IG live where she did song covers. Maybe it’s because I saw this grungy and emo boy with longish hair, and I like grungy and emo boys with longish hair, but he caught my attention haha!
Finally Aespa is here! It was a rollercoaster to get to their debut. So much speculation and a lot of negativity towards this group. From the timing to the concept to the members, Aespa kept receiving so many mean comments and people were so critical about them when they haven’t debuted yet. Like all over my twitter and instagram, all I saw was negativity to Aespa, and it’s like damn let the girls breathe! But now Aespa has released “Black Mamba” and I feel like talking about my opinions on Aespa. From the concept to the members to the timing to the song to rumors, I just want to express all my thoughts about Aespa now that they have debuted. So let’s begin I guess.
On September 25th, The Neighbourhood finally dropped “Chip Chrome & The Mono-tones” and I’m so glad it finally happened. Ever since their first single Middle Of Somewhere, I knew this album would be quite different and interesting. It took me forever though to gather my feelings on it because it was quite strange to digest, plus other things like college and work pushed it to the side, but now I finally have a firm grasp on what I think about this album. So let’s dive into “Chip Chrome & The Mono-tones” and go track by track through this strange journey.
It’s been a little over a month since the icon, the legend, the best man in the world released his 3rd album “Never Gonna Dance Again: Act 1” I been wanting to write about this album, but other artists I really like were pushing out their projects and college has been swamping me. Plus it’s a little hard to wrap around my head how incredible this masterpiece of an album is. Taemin is one of my all-time favorite soloists in Kpop and I adore his music and personality, but this album quadrupled my appreciation for him. So uh if you’re here for a coherent and unbiased review, you’re in the wrong place haha. But if you want to read me freaking out over the album and rating the tracks, then let’s go.
After 7 months, Everglow finally had a comeback, and my forever heart is so happy right now. The wait was worth it! The girls came back with La Di Da with the EP -77.82X-78.29, consiting of 4 songs in total. This was an exceptional comeback. The retro future girl crush superhero vibes from this song and mv fits them so well, and every one got their own time to shine. I love this comeback, and I thought I would give my thoughts on each song and rank them. So Everglow Forever Let's Go!
Blackpink finally released their first album “The Album” on October 2nd. When I tell you I was close to tears from the overwhelming excitement I had when The Album dropped...I was just over thrilled for Blackpink to finally have an Album. After 4 years we finally have The Album, where there are a total of 8 tracks. Not gonna lie I was a bit mad that we only got 8 tracks, but I can’t do anything about it so we will just be happy with what we got. Now I want to gather my thoughts and go through the album, track by track, and at the end rank the songs. So let’s dive into The Album.
After about 8 months, the best girls in the entire world Loona made their comeback with “Why Not?” I've been in orbit since 2016, and so I was very excited to hear about the comeback news. They are my ults and one of my favorite artists, and they never fail me with their music! So I wanna go through track by track and talk about this amazing mini album 12:00. Let’s go!
So I'm starting 2021 feeling like a fool. A damn diddly fool! Because I just discovered Palaye Royale, and I am sad to say I never heard of them before until like a week ago. It's ok though. Now I am fully awakened and better late than never I guess!
Poppy recently released her EP “A Very Poppy Christmas” and I am excited. Poppy is one of my favorite artists and Christmas is my favorite holiday, so getting this Christmas EP is a dream come true. So let’s talk about this christmas miracle.
