With over 5,000 songs on my iPhone’s “K-Pop Singles” playlist, I thought it would be fun to add a bit of unpredictability to my song review posts. So as a result, we have the “Random Shuffle Review” feature.
The rules are simple. I fire up my playlist, press “shuffle,” and whatever song plays first gets the full Bias List treatment!
Year Released: 2012
It’s fun when something obscure pops up on a random shuffle review. She’z debuted in 2012 and stuck around for only two years before quietly disbanding. I doubt their music is remembered by anyone beyond the most devoted K-pop fans and those of us who love to seek out underrated tracks. However, that doesn’t mean they deserve to be forgotten.
The group debuted with My Way in 2012 — a vintage year for K-pop. Honestly, if this song were to come out in 2025 I’d be raving about its full-throated embrace of pop melody. My Way‘s verses are rather uneventful and strongly tied to the sounds of their era, but the soaring chorus has much to offer. The song really opens up here, delivering a wallop of open-hearted melody and an arrangement that layers the girls’ vocals for maximum effect. I love how this refrain sweeps in, fully-developed from the start. It’s such a shot of positive energy. The guitar-led bridge is also a ton of fun. Parts of the My Way could benefit from more interesting production, but the song’s skeleton is very strong and belies She’z’ underdog status.
