This year, I made a playlist of all my favorite albums for me to go back and listen to, so I was better prepared to make this article. So of course I listened to it one or two times on shuffle, then stopped updating it or going back to it at all, lol. If anything, this article is designed more like my previous fave albums of the year. The albums I listened to most and couldn’t stop thinking about are on here. I do have some honorable mentions: WayV – Phantom A December 2022 release I listened to nonstop in 2023. I mentioned in my WayV fave songs article that I regretted not including it on m ..read more

My Top 20 Kpop Songs of 2023

It feels weird having such a condensed list this year. But these songs that had me the most hooked and listening to them nonstop on repeat. I have these numbered, but really 19 – 11 could aren’t super locked to those slots. You could swap these songs around, and I think I could argue their spot still fit. Really, the only ones I feel 100% confident in their placement are songs 3 – 1. But it’d be weird to have a listicle and not have the majority of it numbered, lol. So let’s get into it! 20.) Love It – YOUNITE I had to pick between this and “Kick It 4 Now” being 20, and it feels wrong havi ..read more

December 2023 Best Kpop Comebacks & Debuts

I take back what I said about November being mid, lol. I completed my listen through of my playlist much faster than I expected. Man… it was slim pickings this month. I think it’s been a few Decembers like this. People either released their last major release October/November or wait until January to release something bigger. So…uh… let’s get into it! Makes my job easier, I guess . Yukika – Time-Lapse SLAAAAAAAPPPPSSSSS. We knew Miss Yukika would drop another flawless album. Time Lapse is a cover/remake album, but not everyone knows how to do a cover right. I find my favorites keep enough ..read more

November 2023 Best Kpop Comebacks & Debuts

I started listening to my November playlist pretty early into November. So it really wasn’t until the second half of the month I fell off, lol. But it felt a bit mid this month. I wasn’t that thrilled with Stray Kids, WayV, ZEROBASEONE, or VIXX’s releases. So that was disappointing for me. It felt like there was really only one or two songs off albums I really liked and saved. Not a lot of full length or mini albums from start to finish that I was wild about. So let’s jump into it! Weeekly – ColoRise So far, ColoRise is my favorite album of Weeekly’s. It’s chill and fun at the same time ..read more

Kpop In 2024: My Wishlist

Another year flew by so far . It’s always fun for me to look back at these, because I forget how much happened in the previous year, and it’s fun to look at what actually happened in Kpop versus what I wished for. Previously I’ve done a recap on what was achieved on the blog over the last year and goals for the next. But at this point, I want to go back to basics, lol. I got close to some of my goals, but I never really hit any major milestone for the blog or any other personal goals of mine other than finding a job I enjoy. So not a complete loss, lessons were learned. New things were tried ..read more

A Much Needed Update

I grossly underestimated how much energy my new job would need going into the holidays. And I’m still not going back to my regular schedule until next week . Hey y’all, long time no see. Happy 2024! I did not mean to be gone from the site for so long. But I just have not been feeling up to writing or really keeping up with new music. I’ve literally been listening to a bunch of WOODZ, TXT, and ENHYPEN the last few months. Any new music has really been from what I last talked about in my October faves article. And a lot of like Pop music mixes Spotify has been recommending from songs I’ve alr ..read more

October 2023 Best Kpop Comebacks & Debuts

I ain’t forget about y’all, I’ve just been busy with work, and having family in town, lol. I thought I had the October faves post done except for like 4 or 5 releases, but when I did my final sweep, I found a few more releases I wanted to check out. Then I started this 8-5 (some days are 8-4 and some are 9-5), and I’ve been struggling to get anything done once I get home and have free time to myself. Then the weekends lately have been a blur. I get some stuff completed off my to-do list, then add more to it, and it just ends up evening out. SO! I had a few ideas, well 2 really. Combine my O ..read more

Quick Thoughts: SEVENTEEN – SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN

I love a good bright Seventeen concept. Seeing memes on Twitter about that flower had me rolling. And my favorite one. I couldn’t find the original tweet, so I made a recreation of it. Carats are soooo funny. I loved seeing all the hype for SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN. I already talked about how much I loved FML back in April. That’s still one of my favorite Seventeen albums and one of my favorite albums released this year. So my expectations for how well SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN would follow it were pretty high. I’m still celebrating them breaking the record for highest stock preorders in Kpop history ..read more

Quick Thoughts – TXT – The Name Chapter: FREEFALL

I am not surprised, TXT released another excellent album this year. I am surprised at how quickly they were able to elevate their rock sound and release not just one, but two rock songs I love. I’m not a “LO$ER=LOVER” girl, and I’ve only recently come around to “0X1=LOVESONG” after hearing it live. I never hated it, it just didn’t care for it as a title track. I saw a tweet talking about how MOA’s are the only ones who don’t like “Good Boy Gone Bad” as a title track. And how non TXT stans love it and idk what OP was talking about. I prefer that era way more than FREEZE and FIGHT OR FLIGHT ..read more

Quick Thoughts: NCT 127 – Fact Check

… I already forgot what I heard, lmao. So today’s article is the first in a new series I want to try out on here. I first talked about a first impressions article in my September monthly faves article( at the end). So it really was just a matter of waiting for someone to drop something and NCT 127 is the first victim, I mean, first group to release something that works for this series. I’ve talked about my love/hate relationship with 127’s music direction a few times on here. I’ve made it no secret I prefer 127’s R&B leaning sound more than their whatever genre “Sticker” and “2 Baddies” is ..read more
