ITZY "GOLD" | ReacttotheK Weekly #46

Lia is finally back for ITZY's first comeback as a full group in over a year, and they rolled out the red carpet for her return with their most experimental title track yet, GOLD. But does the song shine bright or does it lack luster? In this episode we discuss both the 6 new tracks on this album as well as the 5 "Final Versions" of songs from "Born to Be." While we had some mixed opinions, we all agreed that one of these songs was one of the best ITZY have ever made. Before listening, can yo...

Billlie "The Billage of Perception: Chapter Three" | ReacttotheK Weekly #45

With groovy, genre bending beats and brain-breaking harmonies, this album was one of our favorites of last year, but we never got a chance to do a podcast episode about it...until now! In this episode Colton is back and violinist Claire joins us for the first time to discuss the third chapter of Billlie's story. In this episode, we were enchanted by the unique concept and insane creative direction that was matched by high quality songwriting and expressive performances that kept us engrossed ...

Introducing two of our newest S8 CMR reactors, Django (left) and Marcus (right)!

TAEMIN "ETERNAL" | ReacttotheK Weekly #44

Taemin has set sail across the unknown sea toward a new horizon, leaving SM to continue his solo career at a new company. But how does his new album compare to his past material? Did he prove he's the G.O.A.T. and crush it? Or does it feel too familiar, giving us deja vu? One thing is for sure: whenever Taemin has a comeback, sexy is in the air. Check out this week's podcast episode where we spend a long time yapping about the first half of the album but unfortunately have to say less and les...
