I just cant understand how the dropoff after I Am comeback was so huge. It seemed like IVE was dominating and then that triple TT release killed them. None of the songs are great or even near I Am/Kitsch but still good songs that I enjoy.
I thought the recent comeback was really great and expected them to perform better than it has. To me, kpop is not so nuanced, if they release another big hit they will do well, these few tracks just werent it (even if I really enjoyed them).
im so excited this will be my first time being part of a DC comeback cant believe i slept on them for so long
i hope it does well they are a very talented group
Omg its a bop and the mv they look soooo good
Just because it is not buble gum pop, doesn't mean it is mid. These last two albums are tribute to 80s hip hop/R&B . jazz, Miami bass, and new jack swing were never meant to be mainstream music like pop. The drop on the streaming is understandable since NJ easy listeners would not like it. While for some, it's another fresh sound for kpop and already attracted new fans.
Probably not the best choice of words considering one of the songs is literally named Bubblegum... And perhaps mid wasn't the best choice either. I don't think any of the recent releases are bad, just nothing exciting about any of them. Nothing about them that would make me go out of my way to listen, but I would not skip if they just came on. And it has nothing to do with it not being "bubblegum pop", Ive been listening to Shine With Me by IVE on repeat for a month and thats a ballad. But clearly newjeans is just not my taste, as I feel this way about most of their songs with some exceptions.
is it really any worse than buying 4 versions of the same album?
pink venoms chorus isnt real and it cant hurt me
very cool, i never actually got a chance to see this. Only older clips.
Inoffensive and forgettable just like their last 3 releases.
I love how she always has her hair behind her left ear so shes cute i just cant
I dont think they are completely done, at least I dont want to believe that since they are my favorite group. But I do largely agree with the points in your post. I've felt that BP was done with idol life for a few years now and wouldn't have been shocked if they didnt renew. Though as you said, no reason not to. My only argument would be why would YG not wanna cash in on BP one last time while he can, but he seems to be doing just fine with BM.
Edit: did not realize this was a mamamoo debate thread i apologize for actually contributing the topic of the post
