While January had more releases than I expected, February marked a return to those more typical winter months that are slower for K-pop. While I generally liked most everything that came out, nothing really held my attention or strongly suited my tastes until about halfway through the month. I usually have lots of favorites duringContinue reading “Favorites of 2021: February”

Knee Jerk Reaction: “Tail” by Sunmi
Sunmi’s solo career has been absolutely flourishing over the last several years. She always delivers catchy as hell songs filled with her own eclectic flair, truly marching to the beat of her own drum. “Tail” fits right into that unique musical world she’s built for herself post-JYP, but it also reminds me of the musicContinue reading “Knee Jerk Reaction: “Tail” by Sunmi”

Given the content of half of these songs,Continue reading “Katherine’s Top K-Pop Releases of 2017, Part Five: #11-20”

Favorites of 2017: August
This was a crazy month for K-Pop. There was so much going on it took me all the way through September to catch up!

Sometimes these posts are biased becauseContinue reading “Favorites of 2017: August”
