Very solid debut from IVE. Looking forward to seeing what they do going forward. "Pirate" from Everglow is alright but I prefer their previous title tracks. "Don't Speak" off the new mini album is a banger though.

As for KAI, I prefer "Mmmh" more as the title track but "Peaches" is good too. Mini album overall is good too. Appreciate his aesthetic, which is a goofy dance machine who makes sweet, tender horny songs.

I love Everglow's Pirate and the MV. I really like IVE's debut although I had hoped their debut would be based around or influenced by their promotional MV: Have What We Want. That was so different, quirky and interesting.

I'm really scared to check out NCT's new album because I think I've heard a snippet of one of the songs and Johnny ruined it for me, sorry crazycool and his other stans here. He doesn't even rap, he just... talks. Or even whenever he raps, it sounds like he's talking instead. Still remember that tragedy that was "Misfit" - he sounds like one of those kids from Glee Cast who doesn't listen to Hip-Hop at all but had to do a rap verse in one a song they're covering. Sorry for the rant.

Now let me check out the album.

Now let me check out the album.

Album is not out yet, SM decided to release one of the title tracks, "Universe(Let's Play Ball)" early:

Album comes out on Tuesday. The other title track, "Beautiful" comes out on the day of the album. Apparently in a livestream, Renjun and Chenle mentioned that this song was originally going to be the debut song for NCT in 2016!

Forgot to mention but Monsta X released their second English album, The Dreaming today. Here's the MV for "You Problem":

[aang]

Mugen Oh I see, I thought the album would've been out by now. "Let's Play Ball" is cute I guess though I was expecting something more Hip-Hop-y.

Shotaro was definitely the highlight of the whole video + I wish they would've given Jaemin, Yangyang & Shotaro more lines.

I've been really enjoying Mino's new album. I've been low-key obsessed with the choreo for "Love In Da Car" that he performed on today's Inkigayo.
