Song Review:: Jeon Somi: Chaotic & Confused- CLOSER

Image
Release date: 2025 August 11 Album tracklist: Escapade, EXTRA , Chaotic & Confused, CLOSER , DELU Album runtime: 14 minutes  I wasn't impressed with Ice Cream when it released about this time last year, especially since I'd just heard her live and the song didn't use her vocal capabilities at all. But I am going to break up the idntt reviews with hers and some others because I'm behind. Yay. I'm hoping I'll like this one better, and at least this one isn't just a single, even if it is under my three minute average I want to see.  Okay, we've got a mellow, sultry instrumental going on that hides under her vocals pretty well, before the energy spikes and doesn't let up. We don't get an EDM dance break, sadly, but she is also a soloist and I don't know how extensive her dance abilities are. I assume she can. But I don't know where she's at in the "do an EDM dance break as a soloist" range of stamina. Which is fine, you kno...

Song Review:: Jeon Somi: Ice Cream- Ice Cream

Release date: 2024 August 02 Album tracklist: Ice Cream Album runtime: 3 minutes      There's a particular texture to Jeon Somi's voice I deeply enjoy that I had the pleasure of hearing live at KCon LA 2024, and I particularly appreciate that it works so well with a sugary sweet summer bop like this.     Unfortunately, sugary sweet is just about the only thing memorable about this song, which is so frustrating considering how much I love her voice. Realistically, the pre-chorus and the chorus don't show up as often as I think they do, but the amount of time given to them versus anything else makes me feel as though that's all the song is. Because of this, listening to the song on repeat traps me in a time anomaly where I have no idea what point in the song I'm at for any given moment when I zone out or zone in except for the very end. It's even in English, which you think would help considering my Korean is not very good, but it might as well be in Russian ...
