I, LSM would also like to know lol

Hi LSM thank you for Jopping

I really liked that the interview was artist-to-artist, in that they focused on the creation process, the role of artists's identity, and how their art fits into the world at large. It's a rare and non-tabloidy form that shows the immense two-way respect between them and such a rare thing for artists of their stature tbh.

LOVED the choice of performances, those 3 tracks (won't spoil) are in my Top 5 tracks for either artist respectively

Also, the hour-long Lollapalooza set is confirmed to have about 16-17 songs oh my lord

holy moly this was not on my bingo card at all

Illusion really is That Song (tm)

Not when she's got so many upcoming and past writing credits, girl has longevity if she wants it

Year of the Rising GG

Quote from Tenken101

Called it! But I'm a little surprised it's not higher considering the Ktown4u numbers are 100,000+. Seems like a large bulk of their pre-orders went directly to Ktown4u (1/4th) which is a bit unusual for a HYBE group.

IMO on the whole, that's a positive development because it's an early sign of their massive crossover potential. Breaking out of the typical HYBE consumption model means that a lot of their hype seems to stem from a genuine resonance with the public.

At this point.....700k is possible

But What Will Happen If NewJeans Rises?

what the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck

these girls are posting big league numbers

NewJeans preorders exceed 440,000 after just 3 days

Arguably just straight up KHH but this is pure STANKFACE no chill

The debut album of the new girl group NewJeans (Minji, Hani, Daniel, Haerin, Hyein) is receiving explosive responses as soon as pre-orders start.

New Jeans' debut album 'New Jeans', which went on pre-order on July 25, recorded 444,000 pre-orders as of July 27, the third day of pre-order.

In particular, the 'New Jeans Bag' version of the unique composition of the PIN-UP BOOK decorated with members' photos, photo cards, and CDs in a round bag was sold out on July 26th.

By boldly omitting the teasing stage, New Jeans succeeded in winning the hearts of K-pop fans in a short time with high-quality music and content even though there was little pre-promotion. In addition, on the third day of pre-order sales, the pre-order volume exceeded 440,000 copies, raising expectations for achieving the highest pre-order volume among K-pop girl groups that debuted this year.

New Jeans' debut album 'New Jeans' will be officially released on the 8th of next month, and the sound source will be released at 6 pm on the 1st. They are hosting 'NewJeans Day' on the dedicated communication application Phoning from the 27th to the 31st, releasing a large amount of photos and videos of one member every day.

On the other hand, New Jeans is a girl group first introduced by HYBE's new label ADOR (short for All Doors One Room). It contains aspirations and determination to become 'New Genes'.

manifesting the SummerSonic 2015 energy (or even Tear live) for his Lolla set!
I feel with how lowkey the recorded Arson is, he's got a lot of room to then tear it up and make it extra dynamic live

I'm gonna interpret "raw" as "unpolished, dramatic, punchy" - which to me is early Bangtan going full Wu-Tang in Japan

Quote from HardcoreBLINK

Bad idea lol

The world cup will be held in Qatar so they should get arab artists for those type of stuff

"arab" as a catch-all just completely ignores the diverse ethnic and intense regionalist sentiments of that area, they're not a monolithic people. That would certainly be much more controversial among Qatar and its neighbours.

FIFA fans are generally not the most welcoming types as a baseline, so I appreciate FIFA choosing a surefire winner of an act, and I appreciate BTS getting that bag and GTFO of there lol

Quote from crazydoll86

Only when they appeared in Yoo Heechul’s (I think that’s his name.. ) Sketchbook program. The emocore Lovesong version.

Yeah I just checked this out, they change up a lot of the drum parts to be less 'anthemic' and more driving and meaty and it gives the track a big boost. Also alleviated (edit: relieved) that they sound so strong live. I'm hoping for less perfection and more rawness live (ie. lose the mic stands or headsets, go handheld and just BELT). As a person who has been to many many festivals that sort of thing resonates way more with the crowd (though I understand they have to balance that against the fact that the set will be downloaded, cut up and discussed on the internet for a long long time after the show)

I respect the fuck out of any group that uses a live band, especially with a Western festival crowd. The 2021 releases are so primed to absolutely SMASH as live renditions, hopefully they can loosen up with the choreo and just wild out at Lolla

Also good on Consequence of Sound for giving the group some exposure from a more serious journalistic perspective, loved the article
