Soar - The 2nd Album
Soar - The 2nd Album Album ∙ K-Pop ∙ 2025 DOYOUNG On his 2024 solo debut YOUTH - The 1st Album , NCT idol DOYOUNG proved the effort had value and merit, revealing a K-pop powerhouse that burned bright even without the fireworks of his main group. On his follow-up Soar - The 2nd Album , he’s clearly on a mission to grow, whether diving deep into melodies to find glimmer in the darkness, working with the likes of folk-rocker DoHyun Yoon, or soundtracking a lighthearted ride along the Han River. Discover the album in his own words, track by track, as DOYOUNG gets ready to soar. “Wake from the Dark” “The first track, ‘Wake from the Dark,’ truly represents the identity of Soar - The 2nd Album . This is the kind of song that makes you feel, the moment you hear it, as if you could soar straight into the sky. Every time I listen to it, I find myself thinking, ‘I could start something new, no matter what it is.’ Because this track has given me so much courage, I truly hope it b...

224 Album ∙ K-Pop ∙ 2025 KISS OF LIFE Across its seven tracks, 224 leans into moments of disco (“Tell Me”), upbeat pop (“Slide”), and acoustic balladry (“Think Twice”), but never strays far from the sensual turn-of-the-millennium R&B that has defined the quartet’s sound since their 2023 debut. The first of KISS OF LIFE’s collections to be released without creative director Lee Hae-in, the group’s fourth EP builds on the combination of smooth production and lush, low-key vocals that worked so well on 2024 hits “Sticky” and “Igloo.” 224 opens with “Lips Hips Kiss,” a midtempo track with a sultry hook (“You can touch my lips-hips-hips-hips-hips/I’m free at six-six-six-six-six, oh”), before asking for more honesty in “Tell Me.” Thai member NATTY contributed lyrics to “Tell Me” and “Painting,” while American member Julie participated in the songwriting for “Heart of Gold.” American singer-songwriter UPSAHL composed bass-driven, viral-ready “k bye.” ...

Girls Will Be Girls - EP
Girls Will Be Girls - EP Album ∙ K-Pop ∙ 2025 ITZY The K-pop industry is intentionally teeming with “main-character energy,” internet slang describing a self-assured person who embraces a sense of agency in their own life story, but fourth-generation girl group ITZY makes it explicit in their 2025 EP Girls Will Be Girls . “It makes you feel like the main character,” member RYUJIN tells Apple Music of “Walk,” one of five powerful tracks on the dance-pop mini album. A performance-oriented group, ITZY both reinforces and subverts the expectation of what that main-character energy might sound like on Girls Will Be Girls , balancing the boldness of lead single “Girls Will Be Girls” and confident club banger “Kiss & Tell” with the soft sincerity of fan ballad “Promise.” As ITZY tells Apple Music in their exclusive track-by-track below, it’s all in the pursuit of expressing their unbreakable bond with one another, and their love for their fans, known as MIDZY. “Girls Will Be Gi...

More Album ∙ Alternative ∙ 2025 Pulp Certainly, any Pulp fan who caught the long-dormant Britpop legends on their 2024 reunion tour would’ve been completely satisfied with just hearing the ’90s classics we never thought we’d get to hear performed live again. But the surprise inclusion of some new tunes on the set list made it clear Jarvis Cocker and co. were not interested in being a mere nostalgia act. And now, less than a year later, Pulp has gifted us with a new album—and while it arrives 24 years after their last one, More actually came together with unprecedented expedience. “The previous two Pulp records [2001’s We Love Life and 1998’s This Is Hardcore ] had a bit of a concept for them, and that slowed everything down,” Cocker tells Apple Music. “And this time I just thought, let’s not think about it. Let’s do it. And then you’ve got a lot of time to think about it later. Like the rest of your life, for instance.” With More , Pulp carries on as ...
