The Boyz hold the distinct honor of releasing one of the best songs of the year and one of the worst. For fans of film award celebrations, that’s like being nominated for an Oscar and a Razzie in the same year. I don’t know if the group themselves realize this, but they’ve dropped a follow-up music video for fresh album track Aura just a week after Stylish arrived to stink up the joint. Having listened to the new mini album, Aura was my standout (though none of the songs come close to their best work). It doesn’t scream “idol title…

Across their past few comebacks, EVNNE have carved out an upbeat pop/rock sound. This genre may not be unique among boy groups, but they pull it off well. However, it does make me wonder how fans of their debut era feel, as this is quite a change in style from club bangers like Trouble.

Throughout her historic career, BoA has tried her hand at just about any K-pop sub-genre you could imagine. Having started in the industry so young, she still feels like a contemporary to many of this era’s groups despite being one of K-pop’s most respected elder stateswomen. New title track Crazier is her first in over a year and leads off a full album. For Crazier, BoA opts for an anthemic rock sound. I guess she heard this is a popular genre these days! This isn’t the first time BoA has gone rock (not even close!), and the song’s assured confidence…
