Track Analysis: IU – Celebrity

I wholeheartedly believe that IU isn’t just the best vocalist in K-Pop, but the best vocalist in the world. Her vocal range and ability to inflect her vocals seemingly at will with perfect technique and precision always adds an extra layer of emotion into her discography which helps a listener become more immersed and connected

Track Analysis: Dreamcatcher – Odd Eye

Dreamcatcher are still an extremely underrated group, but over the past year I feel they’ve been getting a lot more of the recognition they deserve. What I love about Dreamcatcher is that they have a unique sound relative to every other girl group, focusing a lot on mixing rock into the discography for their title

Track Analysis: Cherry Bullet – Love So Sweet

Cherry Bullet were my picks for the best debut girl group of 2019. ‘Q&A’ delivered a bright and fun, but also interesting game-like concept and seemed to get the group off to a flying start. Their first comeback, ‘Really Really’, is a track I personally enjoy but also saw the group fail to capitalise on

Hidden Highlight: Berry Good – Time For Me

Hidden Highlight: I analyse and review a track that I believe is going to fly under the radar. Simple, right? Berry Good are troopers. Last November, they released the digital single ‘Accio’ after a 17 month hiatus which I think surprised many, especially after their leader had left the group on expiry of her contract.

Track Analysis: Chung Ha – X

I am in extreme anticipation for the release of Chung Ha’s first studio album ‘Querencia’ next month after a delay due to COVID-19, and so when I heard that she was pre-releasing another album track, I was very hyped. I really do believe that Chung Ha has the potential to be absolutely huge worldwide –

Track Analysis: STAYC – So Bad

Out of all of the girl group debuts this year, STAYC proved to be the one in which I was the most interested in, including SM’s new girl group ‘aespa’ which is set to debut next week. The reason for this is that they are under Highup Entertainment, which is founded by quite possibly my

Track Analysis: GFriend – Mago

For the third time this year (the first girl group so far in 2020!) , GFriend are back and are continuing with their ‘回’ album series. I don’t know what I was thinking when I first wrote my analysis for ‘Apple’, but it has since gone on to be one of my most played songs

Track Analysis: BLACKPINK – Ice Cream (with Selena Gomez)

I think it’s officially time to say that the world should ultimately be viewing BLACKPINK as a western pop group. It was foreshadowed back in 2018 with ‘Ddu-Du Ddu-Du’ that YG clearly had a vision of them conquering the west, and with the whole tagline of ‘Blackpink is the Revolution’ it didn’t surprise me that

Track Analysis: ITZY – Not Shy

THE DAY IS FINALLY UPON US. For those who love their girl groups, today, the 17th of August, could be the most stacked day of the year. For myself personally, saying I’m not a MIDZY would be a complete lie, since I have absolutely adored all their past title tracks and albums. Their newest comeback,

Track Analysis: Brave Girls – We Ride

The upwards trend of city pop and similar retro-influences in K-Pop is definitely something I can get behind. After a week of no releases that caught my eye to have a close look at, this Brave Girls comeback could be the one that I was most interested in for August, and that’s including a day
