Welcome to the new year! Happy 2025 to all! I am still on my break and will be back at the end of the month to post some new reviews. But for the time being, I have pre-written some album and song reviews that should be scheduled for release. But I ran out of time and have been trying to get them ready when I have a strong internet connection. EVERGLOW’s 5th single album, ZOMBIE, led by the title track of the same name are one of those album reviews I wrote ahead of time. This single album was released back in June 2024.

PS. Sorry if this post looks a little awkward. I am also posting this from my phone and not my laptop.

1. ZOMBIE (Title Track) – Click here for the full review for ZOMBIE. (7/10)

2. Colourz – Colourz brings an explosion of colour and energy to the single album. If you have being reading my blog for some time, you can probably guess (from afar) that Colourz was going to be my favourite, particularly since this was the style of EVERGLOW I was looking for. The energy didn’t need to be as bright as it was for me to like it, but I do appreciate it in Colourz. I love the combination of the brass and hip-hop influences in Colourz. The shouty delivery of some lyrics was also well-suited for the song. (10/10)

3. BACK 2 LUV – Toning it back is BACK 2 LUV, which goes for softer tone instrumentally. There is still a heavy beat to the song, but BACK 2 LUV is incredibly subdued in comparison to the previous song. The song features good vocals from the members. I liked the cutesier tone the chorus has, but there are some other moments in BACK 2 LUV that give the members a chance to show off some of their own vocal colour. SIHYEON and MIA’s vocals in the bridge was amazingly blissful, and I might revisit BACK 2 LUV a few more times after this review just for this bridge. (9/10)
