"I want to see what she's in love with."


Trend of JP releases being really solid continues.

Speaking of JP releases, I see Shinee had one last night too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrzgeVP3BZ8

I've never heard of Kik5o before, and its not really pop and I'm not usually a fan of more ballad-style songs, but I actually really enjoyed listening to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTlzlyBWgqo

If you're like me and didn't like the framerate things with Yezi's Secreto mv, she released a performance video for it with none of that nonsense: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrnKaTE53Aw

Winner POTM July 2013
I've been trying to work out what the start of PTT was reminding me of and I finally think I worked it out, it's Fanfare by Twice. At least as far as the minor key intro - major key verse transition.

Anyway, Perfect World is good, I agree that the diegetic sounds are a bit much though.

My Youtube recommendations are giving me about 20 different 10-second clips from PTT but I did like the one that replaced the JYP tag in Alcohol Free with TWIIIIIIIIIIICE

She's got some serious chops all around, and as far as I can tell ZB seems pretty satisfied with her numbers on things and they're getting her quite a few spots on stuff. While her first three songs were all in a theme and connected, a lot of the non-title track stuff was pretty different in both sound and visual so they've left themselves a large area to go do stuff in without giving off the feel that they're chasing a trend.


In terms of stuff coming out soon, BM (kard) has his .. 3 (I think?) song ep coming out on the second. Which I mention because it looks like he's featuring in Alexa's MV there, haha.

Everything Soyeon's done for marketing this release has been so brilliant that I kinda think she should be running her own label.

Or just, I dunno, buy out Cube management or something.

I'm used to KR releases happening about 4 hours from now so I'm late! Really liking this, it reminds me in a way of some mamamoo releases in a couple ways: mostly a "step away from the current trend" that they've pulled off several times before. Also doesn't hurt that RBW did a bunch of work on the tracks. I like that I was able to get that sort of a feel without hearing snippets where my brain goes "that part of the phrasing/transition/etc was pulled nearly exactly from another song" that has happened with a couple recent releases.

Song feels longer than 3 minutes, in a good way.

"I want to see what she's in love with."

This is the other track on the EP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBq7p_gpRfM

Similar style, the tracks connect well. A little harder with some rap sections, works well as a b-side I think.

Speculations:


The subtitle on the album art here is "Project Afore". Main title of Reviver. In the teaser she gets either dead or something else severe after some explody wave off a tower: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPXcCToCsps

So this EP is basically establishing a character right before the events of the teaser, as a prequel to the next project. Lets the public get a reset on her image instead of just being cyborg sci-fi stuff directly into another thing, and in terms of cost was relatively dirt cheap to make.

Thinking maybe we'll see the follow-up be something inspired by the likes of resident evil. Some sort of biological cloning/experimenting/reanimating theme at least. Also gives a lot of room for ZB to flex their practical+cgi MV stuff.

The other option would be something with the knight version that teased at the end of Revolution, which would probably be some sort of religious tones to make fit, and I doubt they'd go for something in that sort of landmine ridden area.

BM's 13IVI is out as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuThZtaUqKY
Definitely a lot harder than his prelease, and most of Kard's stuff. I like it decently, but I think it'd be amazing at a live show.

Or.. something ROFL. She's doing a grand opening/press release style thing? The burger mascots are killing me right now.

edit: it looks like they remodeled the company cafe/bakery sort of thing into a resturaunt themed off the album and made up a menu based on the songs.

I want the MV, but this whole comedy routine of "bumbling opening of burger joint being rushed through" is *extremely* hilarious to me. Also no vegetables anywhere in the menu is a great touch.

e: I really want this to continue for another hour until the sort of "standard evening release time" hits.

An absolute summer pop-rap-rock bop, and the only criticism I can level against it is the same as for every other track on the album: it's just too short! I guess that's a consequence of being rap-heavy, lyrics don't last very long when you spit them as fast as Soyeon can. Speaking of spitting, ITBBN is sooooooo gooooood I could just listen to those three flowing back and forth for like, hours. But every single track sounds great and different from each other, and it's absolutely an AOTY contender.

Quit is such a banger! That prechorus is so hard. Yeah, only criticism for the album is that it’s not a full length. The queen definitely delivered.

"I want to see what she's in love with."

Only listened to Beam Beam so far myself, but it mixes light rock into kpop nicely. The burger costumes feature in the video and those things never fail to crack me up.
Also for some reason the MV doesn't have subtitles but this performance does: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtwCIIuLDsQ


If you like ballad stuff you'll probably enjoy this track by loco and Lee Sung Kyoung: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaBP4A3pGLE
Day6's comeback is sort of ballad-like as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2p__-LRBNc

Ballads aren't really my taste, but I enjoyed Loco's duet. He's just so drat happy to be out of the military and doing music and it really comes across (when he first was doing stuff after he got out he was introducing himself as "successfully discharged loco" or something like that). Sung Kyoung's got a good voice for the style as well.


SF9, a group I'm not familiar with also had a comeback: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0Je7eSXA5s

Its ok, I think my favorite section was the rap near the end. Maybe my ear was wanting more mid-low singing tones to do some contrasting, or a bit more meat to some of the vocal parts? As a contrast my mind compared it to The Rain by Ladies Code ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wsx9f8tdifw ) as something with a similar low-end heavy track that I find a lot more interesting/appealing vocally.

I liked this track by BDC from last week a lot more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMSLNOgHfZk
Sort of smooth jam, with a touch of something I recognize but can't name offhand.

It might just be me mis-remembering, but I think this year is a bit more aggressive on the summer track wave. Which makes sense coming after the last year and a half of covid action that people would be after that sort of feel even if they can't get out themselves yet.


Lot of good releases in that time frame for sure though.

Different Park Soyeon. She was in Produce 101 and was in LOEN's basement for a few years, left in 2018, then debuted solo last year. The trainees that stayed in the basement went through heavy lineup changes and company mergers and eventually became Weeekly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05luBiXMNuE

T-ara's Soyeon doesn't need a last name to promote, but unfortunately does the exact kind of music you'd think a 30-something ex-"main vocal" would do:
