Young K (DAY6) – Guard You (끝까지 안아 줄게)

DAY6 bassist and vocalist, epic songwriter, and all-round great guy Young K has made his anticipated official solo debut with album ‘Eternal’, of which the title track is ‘Guard You’ – the Korean title translates to mean ‘I will hug you until the end’. With full member DAY6 being marred earlier this year by the

K-Music Recap: July 26 – August 1, 2021

July is over, and just as the month was closing up we were gifted a bunch of fantastic and highly anticipated releases to uplift the July sound altogether. It has been a pretty chilled seventh month, but sweet summer sounds seem to be a big thing. Let’s take a quick look! Disclaimer: I haven’t been

K-Music Recap: July 19 – 25, 2021

How is it already the end of July? Last week was another quiet week for music, but on a personal note I was kind of glad because it was my birthday and I got sick at the same time (lol… what timing) – but some of my favourites gave me birthday gifts so I can’t

K-Music Recap: July 12 – 18, 2021

What a quiet week it has been – though that has allowed us to properly digest some of the music from the past few months I guess. Some subtle summer sounds released over the past week – almost matches the fatigue that I’m feeling due to the heat. Let’s take a quick (genuinely, very quick)

K-Music Recap: July 5 – 11, 2021

Last week was weird – a lot of single releases and not quite as many full comebacks, but there was some interesting new stuff floating around. Let’s see what gripped me last week (TL;DR: it was mostly the indie stuff). Disclaimer: I haven’t been able to write about every single release, but I do try

The 2021 Mid-Year Music Review

I wasn’t going to post this because I was having a bit of a moment where I couldn’t even consider beginning to rank this years’ songs so far (how will I get my SOTY list???) but I’ve decided to go for a low pressure, non-committal format to this little review. Let’s take a look at

New Music Picks – June 2021

Okay a week after the month’s end – I’m here to bring you my wrap up of new music for the month. I was a little more discerning through June so there were far fewer releases to filter through, but I still had to whittle the list down from 40 songs. I think I actually

K-Music Recap: June 28 – July 4, 2021

Why did the entire world decide to have their comeback last week? I love all comebacks but we went from a quiet-ish week to a HECTIC week…. and when you have the god’s 2PM spearheading the week, it’s extremely difficult to stay focused (I spent the entire week from Monday to today only watching 2PM

K-Music Recap: June 21 – 27, 2021

Last week seemed quiet, but let me tell you…. it was not. Lots of smaller groups and artists made their comebacks over the week making last week as jam-packed as those with major releases. There were a fair few star releases from last week, namely A.C.E, sEODo Band and Sam Kim, carrying me safely through

K-Music Recap: June 14 – 20, 2021

Last week is the week that idol bands seemed to rule the roost – June is shaping up to be a big month for our pop-rockers and long may it continue. Summer sounds are here to stay, hoping it brings the sunshine where you are! Let’s take a look. Disclaimer: I haven’t been able to
