UNIVERSE
UNI-KON online concert announcement
Bop. It passed my commute test.
Title track song
Solo > Flower > On The Ground > Lalisa
B-Side song
Gone>Money>All Eyes On Me
AEOM is truly a b-side.
When Flower first came out I ranked Solo above Flower. However after the dance practice video came out I'm ranking Jisoo #1. Flower really fits Jisoo and her persona, so Jisoo is able to own both the concept and the performance. Lisa's a great performer but I can't with Lalisa and Money. Money has guilty pleasure qualities but I prefer cute songs as guilty pleasures.
On second listen, I've decided I don't like it but I'm still rating it a Blop.
The songs are produced by EL CAPITXN (former HISTORY maknae).
He was involved in producing/writing:
a bunch of BTS songs especially Suga's solo work
Sunmi's NOIR, Pporappippam, etc.
TXT's Ghosting, Anti-Romantic, etc.
Heize's We Don't Talk Together
He also worked with Epik High and Eric Nam.
My bias is Bamby and my bias wreckers are the rap line.
I love how this project is producing aesthetically and sonically appealing content while affectionately poking fun at k-pop conventions at the same time.
Right now I'm going for Blop. It's not horrible. It has catchy elements. I'm going to give it 4 listens. I couldn't listen to it while watching the MV. The images were too distracting in a negative way. My brain was WHYING.
You're free to have that opinion, but was 'Daisy' a sleeper hit?
Your favorite K-Pop releases of the first 3 months of 2023.
Mine:
Newjeans 'OMG'
Twice 'Moonlight Sunrise'
TXT 'Sugar Rush Ride'
PLAVE 'Wait for You'
Jisoo 'Flower'
Honorable mention:
Jimin 'Like Crazy' (starts off very strong but loses steam)
Two of these songs are not technically 100% K-Pop but K-Pop adjacent.
I'm still updating Yoshi's thread on other forums but AKP loads too slowly for me, so I will no longer be updating Yoshi's thread on this forum.
Bop
This is how I decided:
VIBE-blop
Set Me Free, Pt.2-flop
Like Crazy-bop
Lol i do that too. If I'm iffy on a song, I'll put in on in my car really loud. My car makes everything sound better for some reason
There are exceptions though. Like Crazy sounds better on headphones while chilling in my room than blasting in my car.
Not feeling it. YAMAI still best Japanese Treasure song-I feel warmth and nostalgia every time I hear it.
I was driving in the rain earlier this week down a hill and people were driving over 80mph.
2-3 times and it also has to pass the car test. I have to listen to the song while driving.
I've never been to a BP concert but I've been to a Mika concert (Mika is the MC).
I like confused and thinking but akp doesn't have thinking.
