WHIB are entering a new chapter of their journey with the release of their second mini album, CHERRY PIE. Following the success of their first mini album, ROCK THE NATION, released earlier this year, the seven-member group returns with a project that captures their continued growth, evolving identity, and the colorful emotions discovered throughout their journey. While their previous release introduced WHIB’s determination and ambition as they stepped confidently into the ind

Producer Milam is creating a new pathway between the past and the present with his upcoming six-track EP Journey to the East 東遊記, a genre-defying project that transforms centuries-old Chinese history, poetry, and philosophy into a modern electronic experience. Serving as both a musical exploration and a cultural statement, the EP reflects Milam’s vision of bringing Eastern heritage into a global contemporary landscape, blending traditional artistic influences with the energy

Some summer nights fade into memories almost as quickly as they happen while others linger long after the car comes to a halt, the music slower tapers away. The night where the warm air streaming brimming against your face -- never seeming to cool, as the glow of city lights reflecting off rain-soaked streets, the windows rolled down as another song became the soundtrack to a memory you didn't realize you were making in real time. Those are the moments that disappear almost a

There comes a point in every group's career where the music stops trying to convince people they deserve a chance and instead becomes a reflection of everything they've lived through. For TRENDZ, On My Knees feels like that moment. On the surface, the title might suggest surrender. Listen a little closer though, and it becomes clear that this isn't an album about giving up. It's about surviving the moments when quitting would have been easier. Rather than presenting themselve

There is a confidence that comes from knowing exactly who you are, and Born Stunner feels like ARTMS stepping fully into that realization. Released ahead of their upcoming album Hyper-Ego, the new title track introduces a sharper, bolder side of the group while continuing the story they have been building through previous releases. With heavy bass, unpredictable shifts, and a powerful performance-driven energy, Born Stunner is not simply a preview of what is coming next. It i

For months, SIRUP fans knew “TIRED” as something different: a song that existed only in the spaces between artist and audience. It was a track discovered through live performances, passed around through memories of concerts, and carried by fans who had heard it on stage but could not yet add it to their playlists. Long before its official release, “TIRED” had already become a song shared through experience rather than streaming numbers. Since beginning his career, SIRUP has b

Some songs are built around a catchy hook. Others are inspired by a trend. ONE OR EIGHT's newest single, "YANKEE SQUAT," takes inspiration from something far more unexpected. A simple sitting pose that has long been associated with Japan's rebellious youth culture becomes the centerpiece of one of the group's most confident and entertaining releases to date. Rather than treating the "Asian Squat" as a novelty, the eight-member group transforms it into a celebration of individ

Most song ease you into their crescendoing peaks, through a series of emotional melodic flows or relatable and suspenseful lyrics. Da-iCE takes the opposite approach. Their newest single, "アンリミテッド Unlimited," wastes no time making an impression, launching listeners directly into an adrenaline-filled production that feels as if it is already in motion before the first lyric is even sung. From its driving breakbeat opening to its explosive chorus packed with live band instrumen

The journey of youth is never a straight path. It is filled with moments of confidence and uncertainty, victories and failures, endings and new beginnings. With their third mini album itsnotover, K-Pop boy group idntt embraces every part of that experience, returning with a new unit, new members, and a renewed sense of identity while continuing the themes that have shaped their story since debut.

For most artists, performing in a new country represents the beginning of building a connection with a new audience. For WOLF HOWL HARMONY, their first performance in Brazil carried a much deeper meaning. For member GHEE, the stage at Anime Friends 2026 was not simply an overseas debut, but a long-awaited return to a place that was once part of his own story. Photo Courtesy of AMC Int'l & BD Since their debut on August 23, 2023, WOLF HOWL HARMONY has continued establishing t

Everyone has experienced the moment when the hardest battle is not against someone else, but against themselves. The arguments we replay in our heads, the doubts we cannot escape, and the parts of ourselves we struggle to understand can often become the most difficult challenges to overcome. Japanese three-piece band karanoah explores that complicated emotional conflict with their latest single "ばけもん Bakemon," transforming an internal struggle into a powerful theme song for t

When two artists from completely different musical worlds come together, the result can either feel unexpected or perfectly natural. With "Distant Lover," JIHYO of global K-Pop powerhouse of TWICE and Grammy nominated Jamaican artist Shenseea prove that the best collaborations are built around shared emotion, confidence, and an undeniable connection. Released on July 10, 2026, the new single blends K-Pop, dancehall, and Afrobeats influences into a vibrant summer anthem that c

PSYCHIC FEVER is back with a "DIFFERENT" sound. More than simply a title, DIFFERENT represents the very foundation of PSYCHIC FEVER's identity. Each member brings their own personality, style, and artistic perspective to the group, and rather than trying to blend those differences into one single image, the album celebrates the unique qualities that make them stronger together. Through a combination of diverse genres, personal storytelling, and creative involvement from ever

The next generation singer-songwriter, TOMONARI SORA, has returned with a deeply personal release that reaches back into his own teenage years, unveiling a song that had remained untouched for years. Originally written during his high school days, "ペダル PEDAL" has finally found its way into the world, carrying with it the emotions, memories, and quiet reflections of youth. Rearranged for its official release but still rooted in the feelings that inspired its creation, the song

There is something unforgettable about the early stages of falling in love. That knot that forms in your stomach when you see them, the anticipation of seeing their name appear on your phone, replaying every conversation in your mind, and counting down the days until the next time you meet all create a feeling that is both exciting and overwhelming. On his latest single, "ib4u," singer-songwriter Aaron Young captures those emotions with sincerity, delivering a feel good track

The surprise release of "babo" could not have arrived at a more exciting time for wave to earth. The release arrives ahead of their highly anticipated third album, bad pieces, set for release on August 7, and gives fans another glimpse into what is shaping up to be one of the band's most ambitious and emotionally driven eras yet. Since debuting in 2019, wave to earth has steadily built a reputation as one of Korea's most captivating indie bands, creating music that feels int

The beginning of youth is often filled with excitement, uncertainty, unforgettable memories, and dreams waiting to unfold. iNKODE's newest boy group VAYONN captures all of those emotions and more with their highly anticipated debut EP, Youth Today.

After spending the last year building anticipation through a series of releases that highlighted his evolving artistry, from20 has officially returned with his second full length album, Rated R. The highly anticipated project marks his first full album release in nearly five years and serves as perhaps the clearest representation of who he is as both an artist and individual. Blending the nostalgic sounds of late 90s and early 2000s R&B and hip hop with modern production and

Written and Photographed by Dora C. JUNHEE flooded Vancouver with uncontainable energy as he kicked off the Canadian leg of his INTO THE OCEAN tour, delivering a night filled with nostalgia, emotion, and a glimpse into his growing identity as a solo artist. For many fans in attendance, the evening carried even greater significance as it marked the first time in eight years that an A.C.E member had returned to Vancouver. Since making his solo debut, anticipation had steadily g

Instead of an archetypal debut artifact, EVAN’s RIDE OR DIE is a calculated form of authorship, dropping on June 22, 2026, at 6 PM KST, via BELIFT LAB. The release comes out as a debut digital single, rather than an EP with multiple tracks, and consists of two songs: “Ride or Die” and “Overflow”. The album shrinks its objectives into just two songs but stretches itself in terms of intention, positioning, and the highly personal participation of the artist. Against the backdro
