There have been a number of think pieces about how Billboard’s Hot 100 chart has become whiter, more male and more Christian this year. It’s a troubling development for anyone who fears baby steps toward theocracy as I do, and the chokehold Alex Warren’s Ordinary has had on the charts is one of this movement’s biggest vanguards. Like everything related to pop music, trends are cyclical and will eventually give way to something new, but I can’t say I was thrilled to see BLACKPINK’s Rosé making even the slightest move toward this woefully dull development. On My Mind isn’t strictly…

Gnarly and Gabriela led us from the bold to the boring, which makes me wonder if there’s a happy medium somewhere in the middle.

It’s the style of music that sits right in the middle, unwilling to push far in…

Going into the year they were already very popular, but the trio of Supernova, Armageddon and Whiplash jolted them to a new level, becoming ubiquitous hits that still have a hold on the charts months later. Rather than return with a brand new album, aespa are slowly feeding fans with standalone single Dirty Work. But given the scope of its big budget video, this is no stopgap. SM are clearly throwing their weight behind the project. My experience with aespa’s 2024 singles was more mixed than the…

Based on a popular webtoon, “The Defects” is an action thriller about children who have been abandoned by their adoptive parents—and their fight for survival and revenge. Screenwriter Ahn So Jung, who penned the script, said, “I was a reader who enjoyed the original webtoon and was impressed by its shocking subject matter and sophisticated direction.” She continued, “I sometimes come across stories about parents who treat their children as possessions or use them as tools.
