EVNNE's "Backtalk": Raw Reinvention Using Wordplay as a Weapon

#EVNNE's "Backtalk" dares us to accept a harder, more confrontational EVNNE that prioritizes spitting attitude and industrial sonics. The result is a provocative, self‑written declaration that reshapes the group’s identity. diaryofakpopintrovert.substack.com/p/evnnes-bac... #뱉어_Backtalk #NewMusic

HEYOON’s “seriously unserious”: A Sketchbook With Teeth Inside Her Hard‑Drive Era

Loved writing this one! Totally went down the #HEYOON rabbit hole. This EP's style isn't my usual choice for BGM, dance therapy, or a singalong but was impressed by how much there was to digest within such brevity. Plus, it's just FUN! diaryofakpopintrovert.substack.com/p/heyoons-se... #혜윤 #NewMusic
