RE:Dramaland Reviews

After releasing the digital single, " Heaven " ( Review ) on July, Taeyeon has comeback with her 6th mini album, Letter To Myself , containing 6 tracks with "Letter To Myself"   as the title track and lead single. "Letter To Myself" I feel strange for what I'm about to say, but I didn't enjoy "Letter To Myself" as much as I expected. While the song is fantastic, it's not my style of song, but maybe it will grow on me. The highlight of this song for me are the instrumental which is great and the post-chorus; I wish that the entire song from start to end had the same sound.   "Letter To Myself" reminds me a tiny bit of Radiohead's " Creep ," they aren't very similar, but "Creep" just keeps popping in my mind every time I listen to this song. The MV is pretty. I like the return of the bear who previously appeared in the music video of "Heaven," where he tragically passed away after he was h...

After releasing "To. X" ( Review ) on November 27, 2023, Taeyeon made her first* comeback of 2024 with a digital single titled "Heaven."

Ever since it was announced that Aespa would make their Japanese debut, I have been enthusiastically waiting, especially since "Supernova" ( Review ) and "Armageddon" ( Review ) were such a hit songs for me.

Previously, in April, Riize pre-released the songs " Impossible , " One Kiss ," and " 9 Days " ( Review ) for their then-upcoming first mini album,  RIIZING .  Now,  my  ...ahem, the long wait is over, and Riize has finally released their first mini album,  RIIZING,  and its lead single and title track, "Boom Boom Bass."

Aespa's first full album,   Armageddon ,   has finally landed on Earth. The album features 10 songs, including the two title tracks and lead singles "Supernova" (pre-released on May 13) and "Armageddon . " "Supernova" Length: 2:59. Lyrics: Kenzie. Music: Kenzie, Paris Alexa, and Dem Jointz. Arrangement: Dem Jointz. I already did a full review of "Supernova," so this will be more like an update. Although "Supernova" was extremely catchy the first time I listened to it, it became even catchier over time. Even my family (who doesn't listen to Kpop) are singing "Su-su-su-supernova." Rating – 10/10 "Armageddon" Although "Armageddon" is not as catchy as "Supernova" on a first listen, it has a lot of potential to get stuck in your mind, especially the "aw wayo wayo" and "bang chitty bang bang" parts.  The song feels old-school, especially the melody you can hear throughout th...
