Where is this Tiki Taka slander!


Apparently nowhere, it was just me misreading things, thankfully, cause I was this close to take my hoops off.


I like it more after seeing this. Damn, they aren't playing:




I thought I'd like it, but I don't. I don't dislike it either, and it might grow on me, but it's not love at first listen like it was for Butterfly, that's for sure. It's mild, and I'm pretty sure that had this song been released by another group, it wouldn't have made a blip on many people's radar.

I also have to squint to see Vivi, and have to be careful not to sneeze whenever it is time for Vivi's line (which is not even a solo line, she's sharing it with Hyunjin who's taking the waaaay bigger portion of the screen and attention here), and I'm honestly feeling so bad for my girl. The only time the MV has solo shots on her, her face is 75% hidden, cool. She's clearly being done dirty here.

Yes, it sounds like ITZY, except they're always shout-singing all the time in the same key with barely any variations of melody, and it is therefore much more exhausting to listen to than even Dalla Dalla. The bridge is pretty nice though. But I expected so much more out of this, sigh.

I dig it. I'm actually surprised how playful it sounds when compared to the teasers putting it in this very dark tone.

I'll say this though that this doesn't really sound like a LOONA track and honestly I wasn't expecting one given with all the delays and problems over the past year. Think a lot of people will criticize the itzy/everglow route they took but I think there is enough in this song to differentiate it from the other two.

Loona's song is just bad. There's so much background noise and the shouting makes the song too repetitive. Maybe the B-sides are better. 🤷‍♂️

February also just started and I'm already getting an overload of Girl Crush songs.

Reminds me of ITZY as well, and I'm not really a fan of ITZY to begin with. The b-sides are okay. Number 1 is my favorite atm.

After listening to the album and watching the MV, I gotta say I'm disappointed. Well, IZ*ONE is coming soon enough to wash off this disappointment.

Wow I can't believe the SLANDER... so what isn't fantastic sonically but the choreo + MV is absolutely up there with the best. Also the song is definitely a grower and their most accessible title yet for the GP.
because it's basically typical BG noise pop that everyone seems to be eating up lately

But the rest of the EP is SO damn good, I'm inclined to call it my favourite loona ep despite it having my least favourite title track. Oh (yes I am) is the best kpop song this year period, and has the best production in a kpop song since.. well I can't even remember. Maybe Eung Eung?

Oh (yes I am) so far is my favorite off of #. Also the white feathers at the end of the MV, I hope Haseul is able to get things to a point where she can join in on things again.

Not a fan of the new Loona track, it does sound like Itzy. The video itself is fancy though.

Sounds like Itzy's Dalla Dalla and Nature's Oopsie. Not bad, but I expected something different.
Kinda suffers from the same thing as Everglow's new single. It just tries to go too hard and comes across a little messy at times. We need subtle bops. Something like "Get It" by Pristin V or "BBC" by Everglow. Those songs worked so well because they go hard while showing restraint.

Yeah, I actually really like So What. Haven't listened to the rest of the EP yet, but I doubt there'll be anything on there that I'll end up disliking.

Just got home and managed to listen to all of [#]. Not a single bad song on the entire EP. I'm going to be bumping this shit all week.

  1. Somi - Outta My Head
  2. Twice - Love Foolish
  3. WJSN - Let's Dance
  4. BlackPink - Don't Know What To Do

  7. Itzy - Cherry
  8. Sulli - On The Moon
  9. Taeyeon - Gravity
  10. CLC - Like It

Made a Youtube playlist out of them, if anybody's interested:
I probably missed songs I've forgotten tbh, but this will have to do anyway.

After giving the Loona EP a few listens, it's a step down from the previous. Worst title song, worst B-sides.

I like it well enough but it's a disappointment
