We haven’t had a Korean comeback from IVE since January, but their Rebel Heart has remained on Korean charts since then and new mega-hit hit single Golden (from the K-pop Demon Hunters soundtrack) has been widely compared to IVE’s past hits. In other words, the group hasn’t exactly been absent from public consciousness. Now, they’re back with Japanese single Be Alright. IVE’s last J-pop single was released about a year ago and leaned heavily into their pop side. Be Alright takes a similar approach, offering sugary sweet melodies over buoyant rhythm guitar and an energetic beat. It’s quite straightforward, content…

Not only is it a busy day for K-pop comebacks, but we’ve got a few Japanese releases as well. xikers have already made their Japanese debut and are back with the poppy rush of second single Up All Night. This group’s sound has been all over the place, but I tend to enjoy their songs most when they’re anchored by big choruses. Up All Night fits this bill even if it doesn’t sound much like xikers at all. This isn’t automatically a bad thing, as acts often target international work toward individual markets they’re promoting in. Rather than a specific…

Just a day after her fellow Sistar member Hyolyn released a new single, Soyou is back with new music of her own. Two summers ago, she carried on Sistar’s sonic legacy with the excellent Aloha, but like Hyolyn she’s decided to explore different summer sounds with PDA. PDA feels much more indebted to the early 2000s in the way so much recent K-pop has been. Its sprightly beat has that familiar ‘Neptunes meet Jersey club’ sound, hitting softly even as the tempo remains brisk. It’s a production that could have backdropped so many recent K-pop singles, making it amorphous when…

Given Mystic Story’s track record, their first boy group ARrC’s material hasn’t been as quirky as I would have thought. So far, their sound hinges largely on old-school hip-hop, which isn’t a unique touchstone when it comes to K-pop’s boy bands. New single Awesome continues this trend with a few early 00s influences thrown in for good measure. In a post-trap world, the quality most of these songs are missing is a sense of fullness. When I think back to the 90s and early 00s hip-hop I loved, I imagine car-thumping beats with a robust lower end. These songs moved…

Girl Group ifeye debuted earlier this year with the sprightly Nerdy. That song boasted a great chorus that was undercut by the airy, subdued production style that’s become so popular with this generation’s girl groups. With new comeback R U OK?, the girls make a sonic turn toward a more percussive summer sound. R U OK delves into dance music, moving between hard-hitting bhangra beats and electronic textures during its chorus. In between, the song struggles to maintain its momentum. I’ve noticed this a lot with current K-pop songs. Their highest points feel like the energy you’d expect on a…

“Omniscient Reader” has shared behind-the-scenes production details and concept art for the film!
