IU's 'LILAC': Bop or Flop?

Quote from aristophenes

I'm wondering whether the production team deliberately wanted to court comparison to Spring Day, with the train concept and the single tree animation. They had to know people will make connections.

I wondered the same thing, Aristophenes...

As for the song, *meh*. It’s a standard backgroundy nothing song for me. Plus, it’s my personal thing that I really don’t enjoy those airy fairy breathy cutesy soprano voices, and she *reeeeally* leans into that with this song. I know some people will enjoy that and say it fits the concept but it just turns me off straight away.

love her voice but the song not so much. Lilac and celebrity both are blop for me. I plan to listen to the whole album later. i always found her bside songs better than tittle track, hope i wont be disappointed.

Blop.

Celebrity is way better song

I don't like it as much as some of her other songs. Something about it sounds very familiar so that was distracting, I was trying to figure out where I heard it before, especially the pre-chorus.

It's nice sounding though, I'd put it on IU playlist if I ever get around to making one.

Bop! I really liked it

Celebrity>>>

BOP

The instrumental part of this album is really good.

My favorite track seems to be "Hi spring bye" at the moment, it may change after listening to it several times.

big bop

BOP BOP BOP BOP

bop, she looks flawless too!

Bop!

Its elegant and sweet but just like with Blueming as title track, its just alright?

Good label decision to drop an MV for Coin. That one definitely has a better hook and shows off IU's maturity. The gambling concept is probably a bit risque to do though since IU' still known as nation's sweetheart/Kpop Taylor Swift..

I would say BOP! I liked the city pop vibe but it didn't seem as original as some of her other music

I tried mixing LILAC with some other songs if you want to check it out!
