Together, they’re usually golden, and “Spellbound” is no exception. The production for “Spellbound” is pretty good. A smooth neo-soul beat straddles the line between cheesy and classy. Saxophones will always be ... Read More »
‘Music Core‘ had a special episode for their 400th broadcast, and it was full of special stages, which meant it shit on all the year-end programs, IMO.

It’s hard to think up any music fandom with an insecurity complex bigger than any given K-pop fandom. People who are into K-pop (regardless of which group is their fave) can’t just seem to say, “I like this bubblegum shit, because it sounds good to me, and that’s that, and if you don’t like it fuck you!” No, they have ...
