i-dle’s Yuqi has a solo single album scheduled for later this month and has kicked off promotions early with pre-release track Gone. Much of Yuqi’s music has passed me by, but I absolutely loved 2021’s Bonnie & Clyde and her track Fly To The Youth (written for agency juniors NOWZ) was an early summer highlight. Her songwriting style and deeper-toned voice works best within the rock genre, and Gone uses that to its advantage. Though the pre-release approach has changed over the years, it used to be common for these songs to be ballads — the kind of work that…

I know I don’t speak for all K-pop fans, but I am tired — so tired of being yelled at by overly aggressive boy groups shouting alongside cacophonous instrumentals. Previously, ALL(H)OURS found a nice middle ground between noise and sleek structure, delivering the standout singles Shock and Gimme Gimme. But with new track Ready 2 Rumble, it feels like we’re back at ground zero. Look, I’m not against noise. In fact, I wish most K-pop songs in this generation were bigger and bolder and louder. But too often, songwriters sacrifice the vital building blocks of a great track for pure…

Those of us begging for a WJSN comeback have been tossed the smallest bone by Starship Entertainment today. The agency has unveiled member Dayoung’s first solo single with almost no promotion or build-up. However, beggars can’t be choosers and I’m happy to see WJSN back in any capacity. I wouldn’t expect member solos to uphold the spacey, celestial sound of WJSN’s full group work and Body definitely takes a different approach. Like many K-pop idols, Dayoung’s opted for a fully English language track to appeal to as global an audience as possible. This always muddies the waters a bit for…
