In keeping with their enormous group configuration, tripleS have blitzed us with an equally enormous fleet of comebacks today. “msnz” is a “universe” within tripleS (their words, not mine) with four “dimensions,” each of which has released their own song and music video. I rarely have enough stamina to write about four tracks from even my most favorite artists, so I’ll be giving each song its own mini-review today. Sub-unit zenith consists of members HaYeon, YuBin, JiWoo, SooMin, YeonJi, and JooBin and they’re releasing Q&A today. Of all the tracks, this one feels the most daring. Its instrumental is big…

Whenever a group I enjoy states they’ll be releasing a song that “sounds nothing like anything we’ve done before,” I get nervous. Yes, I want groups to push outside the box and experiment with new sounds, but in K-pop “nothing like we’ve ever done before” tends to mean attempting some (bad) global trend an agency thinks they can hitch their fortunes to. Thus far, RIIZE haven’t had a consistent sound but have managed to make just about every genre work. So, there’s plenty of reason to be optimistic about new single Fame. However, reports of Fame being “rage hip-hop” tempered…

Sometimes it takes a few songs for a group’s sound to totally click with me. I enjoyed ILLIT’s 2024 megahit Magnetic as much as anyone, but it wasn’t until this year’s fanciful Do The Dance that I totally understood what the group could be. Lately, their music has veered closer to third-gen groups like Lovelyz than contemporaries like NewJeans, and that’s a very satisfying spot for them to be. Unfortunately, new single Not Cute Anymore takes them back to the boring wallpaper music of their past. I can’t imagine an A&R team hearing this and thinking, “Yes! That’s our title…
