I haven't dug into their JP singles yet so can't speak on Cookie Jar, but out of their Korean singles atm my favourite is either Peek-a-Boo, Automatic, Russian Roulette or their cover of SES' Be Natural. Also Zimzalabim owns and it is incredibly obvious the producers were inspired by I Got a Boy. Cavauro posted:the only ones i don't like are the Japanese ones and that seems to be a common thing among groups. Depends. Some of SNSD's best songs are their Japanese singles. SM's Japanese work for their groups is usually top notch in general tbh. Like Paparazzi loving slaps forever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUqP1xzRZkw

Zimzalabim gets a lot of love for being underrated but I go for Umpah Umpah with the stupid nonsensical noise choruses. very feel-good

Zimzalabim took a while to grow on me but now I agree it slaps. I can see the I Got a Boy comparisons now and that makes me appreciate it more to be honest! RBB is probably my least favourite main single from Red Velvet but even then I think it's pretty great. Butterflies off the same mini album could have been the lead single. It's just insane how consistent they are, their harmonies elevate them to the next level.

Yeah, RBB is with Psycho as one of my 'this song owns but is at the bottom of my list of Red Velvet singles'. Bad Boy however is up there with the four I mentioned earlier. Their harmonies are so loving good, and are a blessing in an era where I feel like GGs don't harmonize as often as they used to. You can always rely on SM for top tier vocals and exquisite harmonization. I need to finish digging through their b-sides before I form any real opinions on them, but so far everything I've listened to is loving QUALITY.

Twice's More & More in English: https://open.spotify.com/album/4AXNnQf2SkyY8d4FQaBKo5  Thom and the Heads posted:In my continuing efforts to listen to something other than Twice, Twice and only Twice, I've also just started getting into Red Velvet. Pretty good! If anyone has any b-sides they wanna recommend, I'm all ears. I'm the reverse of this. I got into K-pop with Red Velvet and have only recently taken a deep dive into Twice. They're like the perfect distillation of pop music. I have no idea what they're singing about, but their songs will get stuck in my head all day long. Like I'll be chopping vegetables and realize I'm chopping to the rhythm of "kno-kno-kno-kno-knock on my door."

Twice is about the only K-pop group I know of that consistently hits for me. I love them. I'm relatively new to the genre though and my playlist is basically Twice, the League of Legends groups, and that When We Disco song from the last page. Would love to listen to more groups. Any logical next steps from Twice?

I was in the same boat just a few weeks ago - I fuckin love Twice and hadn't really listened to anything else in the genre aside from a few Blackpink singles. I've been really digging Red Velvet lately! Here's some singles that scratch that Twice-ish itch for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QslJYDX3o8s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyiIGEHQP8o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_CFBjAyPWE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uJf2IT2Zh8

I'm only going to recommend two b/c otherwise I will go on about second gen girl groups for far too long than I have time to atm. I think tonight I might start populating that placeholder post on the first page with the debuts/important singles etc of older groups, and I'll probably start with GGs. Anyway, for Twice's contemporaries I cannot recommend Oh My Girl enough. They're one of the most exciting girl groups working rn imho and are all too talented for their own good. They're one of the strongest current groups vocally imho, up there with Mamamoo and RV, and YooA is one of the best dancers working rn too. Their main concept is typically a cuter one with a fairytale kind of spin, but they are super versatile especially once you dig into B-sides. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udGwca1HBM4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FY9VTlX-HI The version of Twilight, my fave of their b-sides, they performed for Queendom last year is just too loving good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u8377YsRX4 Since you like When We Disco, you should dig into Wonder Girls imho. They're the first JYP girl group (Twice's company), and their concept is entirely retro with them playing around in a lot of different eras. Their lineup changed a few times but never to the group's detriment. Honestly their best album REBOOT (and one of the best pop albums period imho, kpop or otherwise) was when they were down to 4 members and came back as a band, with Sunmi having rejoined. Most of the members are songwriters and producers themselves, and early on were pretty involved with the production of their music, with REBOOT being almost entirely self composed! Fun fact: Sunmi's Siren was originally written for REBOOT, but was passed on for whatever reason. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZBn1e9pr2Q The intro to this is super long b/c that's how JYP rolls, the song starts around 1:58 in lmao. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rxh3_sr5UAE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fy4cqWMhyI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9QXQz6uE0M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYGODWJgR-c srsly tho all of REBOOT is loving amazing have some of the b-sides, then go listen to the whole thing if you dig it Faded Love GONE One Black Night They are legends and icons for a reason, up there with SNSD. All of their solo careers are loving amazing as well, Yubin especially-- though she unfortunately has far less material than Sunmi or Ye-eun's solo stuff. But it is all exceptional and it's always been a drat shame she never blew up like Sunmi or even Ye-eun's work as HA:TFELT. Yubin keeps the retro vibe the strongest of them all, from pure city pop bliss through to low fi hip hop heaven featuring legend Yoon Mi-rae. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MiQonPvlVM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiCDZYdPmys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6M-GNLCPf2I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJD0arHF_5c I'm always disappointed she gets so much less attention compared to Sunmi. I know I said I was only gna recommend two but goddamnit more people need to realize how amazing Yubin is. The b-sides are also all loving quality. I really hope we get a full album out of her soon-- boss bitch been busy as she not only had a comeback this year, but also has followed in the steps of JYP himself and started her own entertainment agency. esperterra fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Aug 22, 2020 |

In the reverse of everyone else's reactions, I liked it immediately but haven't gone back to it much. I still like Sour Candy more but Ice Cream somehow manages to slap and be chill at the same time. It's got a super good vibe. Lisa's raps are becoming increasingly ridiculous tho

I just can't get into Ice Cream. It's an incredibly generic summer dance song and doesn't really match the styles or strengths of either Blackpink or Selena.

Elucidarius posted:Whoa that's weird I was JUST thinking "Maaaan I wish I had more CL". I'm hyped the gently caress up for this comeback, super curious to see if it'll be a mostly US or Korean promotion considering she's been based out of LA for a few years now. Either way, it'll be her first real comeback since getting free of YG-- I'm not really counting the mix tape she dropped at the end of last year if only b/c it was all songs she wrote while still at YG that they wouldn't let her release. God that EP is one of the best albums period in a long rear end time tho. Can't wait to see what she gives us next. I hope she goes hard again-- I need something like Baddest Female, MTBD or Hello Bitches in my life right now. I wonder if it'll be a full album or what. God what a fuckin serve tho 'I go by the name of, you already know'.

Digging the singles this sensitive beefcake has put out, can't wait to listen to the whole thing. I love Monsta X, though it's pretty funny how their English album sold me a much softer group than they actually are. Compare: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGCFaZIeB3k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-TZyUDoBKg Some of my other faves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rxi_UPPvrBU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5Zedh_5DDM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7IXKQzmpK4 Also, I've been listening to the new A.C.E mini album. I'm not very familiar with them but I 'm digging it, really solid album. Gonna have to check out their previous stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlxfyRRYc_c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P416UUerDVs
