Bacardo Royale Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 Billlie - B’rave ~ a song for Matilda Â
ughgabriel Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 dosii - lovememore. Â Okay, this sounds like a sultry midtempo from the get go. To me, the vocals were either gonna make it or break it but she sounds sooooo lovely! I honestly really like the atmosphere. I want to listen to this in my bedroom and do nothing, so soothing
ughgabriel Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 YOUHA - Last Dance  I think the chorus is the most interesting and catchiest part of the song. There is this kind of eerie, dark energy throughout the song that is really cool. From all the songs I’ve heard from her, I do have to say this one is the least remarkable to me :(
Bacardo Royale Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 Girls’ Generation - Top Secret  Love the title
ughgabriel Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 f(x) - Dracula  Okay, this is very campy! It’s fun and definitely has a lot of personality. The choices when it comes to structure are very cohesive and the song just makes sense as a whole. I do have to say it doesn’t excite me as much as other entries from the group :(
Bacardo Royale Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 I wish I had time to give proper critiques but a gif is also worth 1000 words. Good luck everyone! Â
ughgabriel Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 TWICE - REAL YOU  Very, very fun and playful energy throughout the song. It’s just fun, carefree and catchy! I do love how the production is very dancey but in a very controlled way. The length does help to make it a very digestible and instant pop song!
ughgabriel Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 SUMMER CAKE - Not In Public  My favorite chorus so far! The production is nothing spectacular but it’s one of those instances where if the wheel isn’t broken, you don’t have to fix it! Such a great formula, love this
ughgabriel Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 Red Velvet - So Good  What is this slay  The title says it all. The bridge is a bit anticlimactic to me but everything else is pop bliss <3
ughgabriel Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 AOA - 10 Seconds  This is pretty! I do think there is a cheesy element in this song that prevents me from fully stanning. It’s a cute filler track for the group! The bridge is a highlight for me
ughgabriel Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 BoA - Honey & Diamonds  This is pretty [2] but I feel like we’re losing steam. Not everything has to be upbeat or super high energy but I feel like this is lacking something exciting or engaging. It’s not bad at all, I just think it has very strong competitors
ughgabriel Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) APRIL - Oh! my mistake  I love the production on this track and the quirky delivery really suits it! It makes me feel like I’m in Mario Kart’s Rainbow Road and I mean that as something reaaaally good. This song stands out in a very good way!! Edited August 20, 2023 by ughgabriel
ughgabriel Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 YUKIKA - Yesterday  Yeah, this is basically what I meant when I said not everything has to be high energy! It’s not as upbeat as other songs in this group but it’s a very much appreciated change of pace that helps balance. I love the production and the song is just very soothing
ughgabriel Posted August 21, 2023 Posted August 21, 2023 Yein - Plus n Minus  This is lacking peaks and valleys for me. I was really excited when she started singing because I do think she has a lovely voice but the song never took off for me. It just felt like it didn’t meet the potential it had. It was cute but it could’ve been great
ughgabriel Posted August 21, 2023 Posted August 21, 2023 KWON EUNBI - Glitch  Uhh, this is not bad by any means but I was expecting a mega collapse from the critiques. This is fun and it has some interesting production elements but it’s not winner material to me… You might get some points depending on the rest of the songs, but yeah… sorry :3
ughgabriel Posted August 21, 2023 Posted August 21, 2023 YURI & SEOHYUN - Secret  I was really excited when I heard the house elements when this started. The verses are really fun and I think it does everything right when it comes to the build up! It’s just the drop that disappointed me :( the last drop that does include vocals is good so I wish the rest of them were like that instead
ughgabriel Posted August 21, 2023 Posted August 21, 2023 fromis_9 - Attitude  The production on this track is interesting, I still am not sure if I like it or not… I think I really am into the bits where it becomes robotic and there are others that just feel very safe? idk, ehhh, it’s nice
ughgabriel Posted August 21, 2023 Posted August 21, 2023 Solar - HONEY  I liked the prechorus where it kind of sounds like a lullaby, that was cute. There is a lot of things going on in this song. I appreciate the dynamism but the cohesion between these parts is just not there and it just feels a bit disjointed. I did like the post chorus beat!
ughgabriel Posted August 21, 2023 Posted August 21, 2023 NewJeans - ASAP  This is very interesting! I think it’s definitely one of the most unique songs this round and I really like that. Melodically it’s not the strongest but I think leaving an impression is what counts, and this one definitely left one on me!
ughgabriel Posted August 21, 2023 Posted August 21, 2023 IVE - Hypnosis  I am so sorry but I honestly hate most piano x trap combos when it comes to production so it was very distracting to me 😠I did not enjoy this, sorry
ughgabriel Posted August 21, 2023 Posted August 21, 2023 YOUHA - Flower Rain  I heard this on VL once and I loooooved it!! She is really good. I love the melodies she uses with her productions. This gives me so much serotonin!!
ughgabriel Posted August 21, 2023 Posted August 21, 2023 Uhh i might expand on these but for now i’ll just post this because I need to do some stuff now that the storm here ceased
