Primrose released a joy bomb of a pop song with the buoyant Cinema early this summer. That track had surprising staying power for me, powered by a splashy chorus and unabashedly upbeat energy. I’d have loved to see the girls continue down this musical lane, but instead they’ve returned with the more subdued Love Your Flower. This song drains much of the color from Primrose, offering the same, slightly-disco-but-not-really mid-tempo bounce as so many other girl groups this year. I wonder if we’re still in the longtail of Sabrina Carpenter’s Espresso influencing K-pop because this breezy, forgettable style feels very…

Japanese tripleS sub-unit “∞!” debuted last year with the moody, hypnotic Untitled. It was one of the better tripleS title tracks, though I can’t say it stayed on my playlist for long. Now, they’re back with a jauntier pop song in new single Password. There’s a joke going around about tripleS’s strong reliance on “la la la” hooks. They certainly love the schtick and Password is the latest in a long line of songs to conclude its chorus in this way. However, the “la la la” is a relatively small part of this overall song — just enough to ingratiate…

Since their 2023 debut, LUN8 have tried on a variety of styles and even reconfigured their line-up. This has made it difficult to gain a firm grasp on the group, as Fantagio Entertainment simply seems to be throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. The latest in this approach is a new single co-written by… Charlie Puth’s brother? I can’t say I saw this one coming! Lost has some solid assets going for it but is undercut by a lack of development. I love the sleek arrangement, which offers plenty of space so that the guys’ evocative vocals…
