Honestly, better than the albums for most big girl groups in 2020 and a contender for EP/album of the year.

KDA is starting to feel like a IZONE type situation where no song they make will ever be better than their debut song.

Forgot this even came out today with all the shit going on this week. Sounds good so far.

Edit: Okay, finished listening. It's weird but I think I like the latter three songs more than the first two. And I really like Baddest.

Violeta's IZ*One's best single. Now LVR is in the better half of those singles, but it's not better than Violeta

What's the deal with some singles being left off of EPs? Mamamoo left Dingga off of Travel, and the K/DA EP doesn't have Pop Stars. Maybe it's different in K-pop but don't all the singles usually pop up on the album they precede?

Pop Stars is effectively a two years old song. It wasn't made with a future EP in mind.

Dingga is on the physical edition of Travel, just not on the digital one.

Probably because it's a digital single and they want you to buy it separately if going digital. Basically, it's greed, nothing new in the kpop industry (at least they slowed down on the repackages).

Well I already bought it digitally before Travel released. So the joke is on them! I think....

Who gave Riot Games permission to make K/DA go so hard? The EP is better than it has any right to be 😭

My hot take is: KDA's best song is still POP/STARS, but their other songs are consistently good, and I*zone's only good song is Suki To Iwasetai while their other songs are consistently pedestrian & forgettable and even a bit trash for the worst of them. EDIT: ok, Secret Story of the Swan is also good though, I had forgotten about it for a moment. 2 GOOD SONGS!

Haven't been keeping up with the thread because of the elections.

Anyways, the new KDA ep is great. One of the best releases this year.

Ehhhh, honestly I'd say POP/STARS is probably my least favorite.

Yeah, I'm still surprised because I didn't expect it. I thought it'd be an okay album with a good track or two.

If that can make you feel any better, I really love the girls and the group. It's just the music that hasn't been aligning with my taste much thus far :(

I do agree on both points. Pop/stars was the best song and izone is rather forgettable. And that is from someone who watched all of P48.
It's just all a bit bland and overly cutesy for me

I think pop/stars is their best still and izone has never been for me.

Not a new song but I heard this today and like it.

Ok probably the only guy who likes Fiesta. I really like the high-energy vibe in izone's songs, Fiesta let's you hardly catch a breath but it's perfectly produced and never too intense, imho.

I too think Fiesta is their best single. BLOOM*IZ is just a fantastic album.

Let's go!
Also pretty happy to see 6 out of my 10 chosen songs made it in Era's previous list.

2013 Kpop releases if anyone needs a reminder. A banger of a year!
