iKON’s Jay made his solo debut back in 2023 with a smooth R&B sound that was high on style but low on the kind of addictive melodies that usually make my ears perk up.

However, the song remains quite subdued even as it builds to its chorus. Then, the instrumental flips completely, chopped and augmented to form an unusual centerpiece that guts the song open for parts. This…

Her previous work has delved into hyperpop influences, no doubt inspired by the huge success of Charli XCX’s Brat last year. White Cat continues this approach with an indie-electro sound. Songs like this can be difficult for me to fully wrap my arms around. I can tell they’re trying to be cool and alternative, and that effort — from the warped vocals to…
