Fresh off her historic win at the 2026 GRAMMY Awards, singer-songwriter EJAE (KPop Demon Hunters) has released her new song “Time After Time,” via Universal Records. “Time After Time” is an infectious heartbreak anthem with lyrics that reflect on a relationship that still lingers, capturing the all-too-familiar cycle of thinking about a former lover long after the relationship has run its course.

"Time After Time" demonstrates EJAE's evolution as a solo pop artist, moving beyond her storied work in K-pop to showcase her distinctive voice and generational songwriting abilities. The track captures her signature ability to create melodies that resonate globally while maintaining authentic emotional depth. Speaking about writing the song, EJAE said “The melody of ‘Time After Time’ was stuck in my head for years, just like the person I wrote it about.”

The track arrives after EJAE made history at the 2026 GRAMMY Awards when her breakout global hit “Golden” from the film KPop Demon Hunters won Best Song Written for Visual Media, becoming the first K-pop song to ever win a GRAMMY. The song previously won a Golden Globe and Critics’ Choice Award, and is nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song.

“Time After Time” is now available to stream on all platforms HERE.

 


K-pop powerhouse CRAVITY has returned with their highly anticipated ‘single album’, FIND THE ORBIT, a collection of three tracks that showcase the group’s artistic growth and unyielding determination. Leading the release is the electrifying focus track “Now or Never,” accompanied by a
visually stunning music video that captures the members’ dynamic energy and thrilling new chapter. FIND THE ORBIT marks a pivotal moment in CRAVITY’s journey, symbolizing their
evolution as artists and their commitment to carving out a unique identity within the

K-pop landscape. The album draws inspiration from the concept of orbit: a path shaped by the balance of forces. CRAVITY’s nine members are like celestial bodies, navigating their own orbits while maintaining a perfect equilibrium. Through this journey of interaction and turbulence, they forge a new trajectory, representing their growth and unity. 

Co-written by members SERIM and ALLEN, “Now or Never,” embodies CRAVITY’s resolve to seize opportunities and embrace challenges head-on. With powerful guitar riffs, driving drums, and intense vocal melodies, the song is a bold declaration of their determination to rise to new heights. The music video complements the song’s high-energy vibe, portraying the members navigating their individual orbits in a suspenseful, visually arresting narrative.

““Now or Never” is about recognizing the importance of the moment and taking on
the world with confidence,” said CRAVITY. “We wanted to express our fearless approach to life and music through this track.” “Secret” is a nostalgic disco-pop anthem with a dreamy bass groove and falsetto
melodies. It explores the delicate transition from personal affection to a shared secret, creating a captivating feeling as if racing through a neon-lit city. “Horizon,” a track co-produced by member WOOBIN, captures the narrative of their recent appearance on the survival program Road to Kingdom: ACE OF ACE. The lyrics describe rising into the sky with their fans, LUVITY, in a long period of darkness. The song features a dreamy guitar riff over a drum-and-bass beat and vividly conveys the members' overwhelmed emotions.

Since their debut in 2020 under Starship Entertainment, CRAVITY has captivated fans worldwide with their innovative music and electrifying performances. FIND THE ORBIT represents a turning point in their career, showcasing their growth as individuals and as a team. With a strong foundation of domestic and international success, CRAVITY is poised to reach even greater heights as they embark on this new
chapter.

Pritz has broken out upon the scene being a resemblance to that of BabyMetal having a similar look and style. MetalInjection.com says "It didn't take long for somebody to realize the formula of a capable group of metal musicians fronted by young females has money written all over it and if any scene could rival Japan's pop scene it's the Korean pop scene (K-Pop)." From viewing their video for the song "솔아솔아 (sorasora)" their attire resembles that to Nazi outfits, the band is already dealing with backlash for their outfits, the groups management have denied these claims saying "the thought never crossed their minds which seems so ludicrous. This is a big oiled machine and nobody noticed this??"

The Daily Mall asked the management to explain the logo and they said: "According to Pandagram, the logo was inspired by traffic signs, with black numbers written on white circles surrounded by red. The X-shape has arrowheads at the end to symbolise Pritz's ambitions of expanding 'without a limit in four directions,' according to the company's representative."

Some have compared the logo to the anti-semetic Hungarian Arrow Cross Party.
