BM5's March 2026 Favorites

Favorite Interview
Tiffany Pollard is an Iconic Guest - Ziwe


Tiffany Pollard was introduced to the world and myself as New York from Flavor of Love. Ever since that time on the reality TV show, she has continued to stay on our TV screens and social media as an infamous celebrity. Her demeanor is both iconic and magnetizing, but combine that with the wry comedian Ziwe and you're in for an amazing time! To see these two worlds and personalities collide is quite entertaining and I have to say that this will go down as another classic interview from Ziwe. Maybe give it a watch.

Favorite Comeback
Code - Everglow


The great return of Everglow!!! Do I need to say more? Okay, I will. I'm so happy that they have gotten to move away from their old label and continue on as a group, even if all of the members weren't able to join the comeback. They come through with a title track that fits in snuggly to their usual song, but still tantalizes the eardrums. I highly recommend giving the whole EP a listen! Welcome back, ladies!

Favorite Kpop Interview
Asking Yves to Rank Every Yves Song - InternetsNathan


We have another Kpop Ranked with a former LOONA lady and I couldn't be anymore pleased. It was intriguing to see how she views her history and discography firsthand here. I only wish there were a couple of the songs that got to be included in the rankings because there were some that had music videos (namely Ex Machina) that still didn't quite get a mention. Other than that, it was a great watch and I think any fan would find it worth their time.

BM5's February 2026 Favorites

Favorite Singles
Cotton Candy Sky - RUSSELL!


You know a guy has to love his Russell releases. This month we have 2, but I enjoy this one most. It brings his raps back along with the singing. The production on the track is candy for the ear with two different vibes between the halves. He brought such a throwback vibe to the track that I couldn't help, but love it. It's nicely confessional with subtle punchlines throughout which is one of my favorite modes he gets in. Tell me if it fits your vibe, too.

Backseat - Lngshot


The debut of Lngshot has simply been phenomenal from the beginning to end, in my opinion. The greatest thing about it is the fact we got my favorite track from the EP as the last music video. The support that Jay Park's More Vision label is putting behind the group is fantastic to see as they came to the scene with such a solid showing. I'm excited to see where the group goes from here, for sure. They'll never take a backseat for now!

Favorite Kpop Discussion
Why Kpop Will Never Have Real Music Critics - Wireshred


This is something that I've thought from time to time. Just that title alone is a statement I find as an intriguing premise. As someone who actually does do some criticism, I do feel that I'm always pretty light on kpop. The genre as a whole is a full experience that doesn't just include the music, which also can lead to bias. Granted, this can happen in other music scenes, too, but when taking into consideration the consumers of the content, people tend to be set in their opinions or bias rather than accepting more balanced critiques. Though, maybe more people will be brave and be more objective with their takes, unafraid of rabid fanbases to come. Who knows if they could generate an audience?
