Song Review:: Yves (LOONA): Soft Error- Soap (feat.PinkPantheress)

Image
Release date: 2025 August 7 Album tracklist: White cat, Soap (feat. PinkPantheress) , Aibo (feat. Bratty), Do you feel it like i touch, Study, mom Album runtime: 16 minutes  One of my LOONA girls! Whoo! I'll get to the pre-release eventually, but in the meantime, here is this! I am not about that runtime, though. Good news, that's not rounded up? Bad news, it's barely sixteen minutes long. And the title track length is nauseating. First listen, I thought the whole song had basically the exact same instrumental looped through the whole thing, but I am pleased to report that it's got a little bit bit more variety than I previously thought. Not by a lot. The second half of the song is basically just a couple of bars looped. But the beginning of the song is not, and it's also got nothing that really catches my attention. It's slightly sturdier than milquetoast, but there's nothing really grounding the song through most of it. The percussion is on higher notes an...

Song Review:: Chuu (LOONA): Only cry in the rain- Only cry in the rain

Image
Release date: 2025 April 21 Album tracklist: Only cry in the rain , Back in town, Kiss a kitty, Je t'aime, No more Album runtime: 14 minutes  I knew I recognized her name. I don't know if this is actually the case or not, but I have her departure from LOONA as being the catalyst for the split that has resulted in ARTMS and Loossemble. I mean, that whole situation is interesting, and hopefully they get to perform together again soon, even if it's not under their name. In the meantime, soloists and the two groups are where the fans are at. I applaud their patience. And for the runtime, the title track is over three minutes, so I'm fine. Side note and unrelated, the French title messed up my brain a tiny bit because I tried to write the one after it in French twice before I managed to get my brain back to English even though the words were right there in English for me to copy. Multilingual problems, am I right? Another side note, I really love the album artwork. We've...

Song Review:: Yves (LOONA): I Did- Viola

Image
Release date: 2024 November 14 Album tracklist: Viola , Hashtag, Gone Girl, Tik Tok , DIM Album runtime: 14 minutes  I'm not sure if I knew that Yves had another album coming out, but I'm glad the roulette wheel had me do a LOONA song  last week, as that helps make the group somewhat fresh in my mind and as well as for the lovely people who read it. It looks like she made her solo debut the end of May, and her songs tend toward being less than three minutes long, but, regardless, I hope she continues to do well with what she chooses to do. For a song called "Viola", I was expecting to hear more of a viola presence. It's a little bit of a shame that we don't get to hear that instrument, as I have a special fondness for it. Instead, we get some fabulous funky guitar and synth that is dark and gritty and works surprisingly well for the song. The opening implied a different kind of song would be following, but the switch to the piano at the last fifteen seconds wa...

Greatest Hits:: LOONA: PTT (Paint the Town)

Image
Apparently the random wheel generator likes the fourth generation groups at the moment, which I'm fine with because eventually I'll get to do older groups and that's something I'm very excited about. But, in the meantime, we get a group that I initially became interested in because I really enjoyed watching them dance on Queendom 2. Do I actually know much about them? Nope. But I do know that they have a lot of subunits, like tripleS, and are currently promoting under various subunits and/or as soloists. Group : LOONA Debut Date : 2018 August 19 Company : Blockberry Creative Status : Inactive (there are no members remaining at the company, but they were not officially disbanded; additionally, the members have expressed a desire to perform together again) Album : [&] Song :  PTT (Paint The Town) Release Date : 2021 June 28 This song apparently marks the return of leader Haseul! There's usually an immense sense of relief from the members when one who was on hiatus...
