Music Review Delivery 07.03.2026
This week was fairly normal for me. I realized a lot of things and I got back in touch with good friends. I cried a little but I got back up and got over everything. Let’s get into the music!
I really enjoyed Yoohyeon’s lines and Sua’s lines in the song. Song itself isn’t much special but it’s cute and catchy. I liked the midsection the most but even that’s still sorta ehh to me. All in all I’m really just missing full group Dreamcatcher even though that’s not really a possibility. I would maybe listen to it intentionally on occasion but that’s using “on occasion” very sparingly. It doesn’t really have much going on with it; at least not enough for a summer song in my opinion
I really enjoyed Heize’s part in the middle and I wish it was longer so the song could be padded out more and feel less like just a singular bite of music. It has a really great backing track on it and really had potential to be better if they weren’t so repetitive with the verses. I like both CHUU and Heize but I just wish this were more of a complete feeling song.
The irony in the refusal to say pikachu because it’s a brand name but having the subunit be named after a well known brand of veggie juice is absolutely killing me. I think I overall enjoyed Vernon’s parts the most but Minghao’s soft voice really suits this type of song more. This is definitely a project where more money went into visuals because the music video looks great even though the song is just a little bit above the quality line. Overall it’s okay but not a favorite of mine
THE FIX - DIE IN THE MOSHPIT
Not too fond of the AI usage in the music video but given this seems like an independent band with far less resources that the average artist I won’t just jump to crucify them. Moving on from that I think I’ve vaguely heard of this band before but didn’t remember any music I heard of theirs at that time. I think the song itself especially the intro part is really great. It leans a bit repetitive but that doesn’t plague it much.
CHOI YOOJUNG - Perfect Target
I haven’t stopped getting videos of Yoojung promoting this song on her TikTok so it’d be criminal to not give it a spot on my list when it came out. It’s sort of full of fluff in the verses even though they are enjoyable. The videography is really beautiful, I genuinely love everything about this mv. I enjoyed the chorus except for the signature ttang ttang tarang bit; I found it a little annoying after a few listens. Overall a cute song that while not being outstanding has earned its place in my playlists
Wasn’t all that impressed with this one. I’ve enjoyed stuff from this group before but this one just didn’t really do it for me. I feel like any group with a sort of adjacent concept could’ve released a song like this and I’m not really hearing Keyveatz in here. That line in the end about “yeah we going ADHD”really hit the nail in the coffin for me that this release is not really worth much. I hope their other later releases are slightly better than this.
PERSES - Hotter than ur X
For starters, Pluggy’s opening verse is absolutely phenomenal, love him. It kinda sounds a little like a drama OST. The “I know you want it” part gets really grating after a while and unfortunately I can’t ignore it this time because it’s a huge part of the song. I think it could’ve used a longer intro but that’s just my personal opinion solely. Overall pretty good Perses song though I’m yet to be as impressed as I was with Freeze.
ZIA - Why Does It Have To Rain?
The chorus is absolutely beautiful no doubt about that. It really tugged at my heartstrings by the end. I really just wish this were a slightly longer track. I’ve never heard a song from ZIA before this but I love her tone of voice.
Blue.D - Perfect Love ft. BE’O
BE’O’s part was my favorite by far but other than that I’m really fond of Blue.D’s vocal tone. She reminds me of BiBi but with a slightly softer inflection. I wish there were more wow parts because after a few listens it gets a bit boring. It’s a nice krnb track though and I’d definitely consider listening to more from her after hearing this
The way they format the song especially around the chorus reminds me a lot of NMIXX’s tracks circa 2024. It’s like See That? mixed with What’s My Name by MAVE. I really enjoyed Aguri and Yui’s parts the most. The middle of the song was by far the best part of the entire thing. I wish it was slightly longer but overall it’s a great song
That’s all for this week shuhoos! Remember that there really are no coincidences. Some signs get ignored, some acknowledged
