SEPTEMBER 12 - Callback Release Long Anticipated Follow Up
K-pop band Callback released their new song, Black Rose. Notably, this is their first song since their last single briefly got an All-Kill; the first in the group’s tenure. Fans are mad a Liberty for not capitalizing on that popularity, and claim that the label is letting it’s artists fail, however that hasn’t stopped Callback’s new song from making a strong first impression on the charts
SEPTEMBER 14 - LUSS Make Yearly Return
When Siren Entertainment was created, LUSS fans were sure that meant more content from the foursome, and while anything is an improvement over the multi-year hiatus we saw from them previously, things have settled into being only one or two songs a year. Though they are few, they are all of quality however! LUSS’ new song Wonder Woman is just the mature, retro, incredible music one comes to expect from the second gen phenomenon.
SEPTEMBER 17 - Slash Releases New Song
Slash is without a doubt one of Spotlight’s most popular and long-reigning soloists, and with that popularity comes a lot of content. The Phantom member released a new song today, and while the music video didn’t have the dance-heavy content Slash songs usually do, it is still high on the charts already

The queen’s of K-Pop and CEOs of Siren Ent are back once again after last year’s comeback, and it’s clear that they’re here to make jaw’s drop. Warm Hole is full of very overt innuendos, and fans are already praising the group for their nerve.
Earlier in the year after a comeback of her own, soloist Lucy mentioned that as she got older she noticed that she was losing her status as a sex symbol in South Korea, and very much attributed that to her age. She was quoted as saying, “Once you pass about 35 in this industry, you’re essentially a senior citizen. I’m probably more in shape than I was in my twenties, but people consider me ancient, and no one wants to see their grandma grinding her hips.” LUSS has been very open about their treatment in the industry before creating their own label and facing those same sort of prejudices, so a song such as this is challenging all of those preconceptions and breaking boundaries.
Only a month after her group made their long-awaited return, Jenny is back, prepping for her full release tomorrow! While many fans are desperately awaiting the lead single, which features former Juliette member Jei, Jenny made sure her pre-released wasn’t lacking.
The two songs are being released as part of an album, which will drop with the promotional single tomorrow. It hasn’t been revealed if Jenny, or LUSS, have anything coming out in the near future, but with all the focus they’ve been putting into Siren Entertainment over the past few years, loyal fans have been ecstatic to see the legendary girl group members active again.
