Wasn't sure about the song one first listen but after a second that chorus is deep in my brain

The long break in the MV in the middle serves no purpose at all and just kills what would be a cool reveal for that final set lol. Choreo is nuts.

I think this track is my favorite title track from them, but might need to find the non-mv version to listen to. Like I don't know if that break is adding in a low energy section to try to make the ending punch more, or what exactly. Generally not a big fan of added breaks, if you're going to do it then do it like ponzona where they threw in a whole rear end dance breakdown.

Not the biggest fan of Loco's chorus after the first few listens, but it'll probably grow on me. Hell, I finally managed to start enjoying Sticker. The flute still sucks, but at least I can kinda ignore it now

The Coldplay/BTS collab is also out. I dig it

The whole ITZY album is phenomenal, but I fully put those instrumentals on repeat once I was done listening to it, and reminisced upon the days where I could still go to the club.

#Twenty, Swipe and Gas Me Up are probably my standouts off the top of my head. Oh, and Chillin' Chillin'.

If you haven't watched any of Stayc's dance practices, its worth checking out IMO. Their choreo has a lot of pretty tight timing/formation stuff in it, a lot more than you'd maybe expect based off their music videos.

Key said he cried after filming this video because there were a lot of issues leading up to it (budget issues, SM not letting him do what he wanted because the concept was too ‘out there’, constant differences in opinions between him and the SM staff etc).

What the hell SM? For them of all companies to (try to) shut down a unique and out there concept.

Hope it's a huge hit for him. Teasers look and sound amazing.

I know their comeback didn't do anything with it, but they had some pretty big sci-fi/space things going on in their debut.

Don't know if they are basing it on a specific person's story or not, but I've read/listened to multiple people's stories that have had the basic same start: born in Korea, parents immigrated and got citizenship and didn't do some sort of paperwork, some minor crime or incident occurs and then they get deported.

Goddamn I really like this track from Key. Not sure what SM was being all weird about, the song is definitely not experimental and I saw all of like 1 shot that was maaaybe trending towards something they'd be worried about. Song is exceptional and I want to see a full dance video because the choreo looks great.

Yea that sounds.. fairly dire? I'm not sure if the whole group would get picked up by other agencies (just because of the sheer number of members) but I'm sure at least some of them would. Their last album had decent numbers though (and each album has been increasing in sales), so I wonder if its just poor money management or what. I could see some companies deciding that the continued general growth + pr opportunity would be enough to make the investment worthwhile.

BBC spent more money on Loona's debut than JYP did on Twice's by about 20x. They've always thrown money around like nothing but people assumed their parent company was fine with it.

Every time I look deeper into how BBC have managed LOONA, I just get get more and more befuddled.

The $10M(!) predebut project is one thing, chalk that up to overconfidence or whatever, but stuff like... just flat out breaching contract with DONUTS to the tune of having to pay back their $3M investment (all they had to do were some livestreams!), as well as legal fees due to not even showing up in court is another. Or completely failing to capitalize on any of the "stan loona" international popularity with a tour. The only time the group has even left SK was for their KCON appearance, which ?????

I dunno, the way this whole project has been handled from the start has really lent some credence to the long-running joke that BlockBerry is actually an elaborate money-laundering scheme.

Yea I wouldn't be that taken aback to find out that loona was originally a money-laundering scheme.

e: drat good song. I loved Spicy, but this is definitely more my vibe-- I prefer my CL with plenty of singing mixed in, her voice is just one of the best in the business imho especially when it comes to emotion. Not quite 5STAR tier, but tbh not many things can be, that was nearly my SOTY for last year!

So excited for Alpha.

I've got quite a few people ahead of her as the best, but she is way above the average and like you say she is quite good with conveying emotion. I agree that having a mix of her singing and rapping leads to a more enjoyable song, and found it a more interesting listen than spicy.
