I think I like their other two songs more but I still liked that. The chorus has a definite Mamamoo vibe which was nice.

The whole album is up on Youtube if you want to give it a listen. Spotify only has the two pre-release songs right now.
edit: Album is up on Spotify now

'Ponzona' might be the weakest song on their album for me.

Speaking of SuJu, their comeback show delights me.

Whew lad U?? I was not expecting a throwback this far. Or Heechul dancing for the entirety of a song. Bless tbh.

Anyway, have the rest. I still like Burn the Floor much more than House Party, but the title track being a covid bop is ridiculous in all the right ways. Excited to listen to the rest of the album later.

Polar opposite songs but I like both of them. The Weeekly song is much more listenable for me than Zig Zag was at least.

Some company is creating a virtual girl group with the first m/v being released next week. They have some member teasers/art concepts up and I can't tell just exactly how much I hate it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdpSxNmCdFA

This is from an article I google translated

quote:

To put it simply, Deep Real can be said to be a deepfake-based content synthesis technique that is made using AI to make it more natural and realistic. However, the developer Pulse9 emphasizes that "Deep Real is more than a deep fake technology." In addition, since it is not a synthesis of a person's face that actually exists, but a new design of a virtual person, it is different from the existing deep fake, and the result is more elaborate.

Very curious to see how the actual music video comes out

I wonder why they wouldn't just debut the people behind the voices of the virtual girl group.

I thought it was kinda mid on first listen but I've warmed up to it - I love when the beat kicks back in during the last chorus.

The mini is decent. Yummy! is pretty great. They have yet to top Tag Me and Hello for me.

This reminds me of something that happened a few weeks ago. A 40-something colleague of mine mentioned that her teenage daughter was into this thing called "K/DA" where they were all computer characters. I failed to feign ignorance sufficiently, and ended up with most of the office standing behind my desk watching videos and listening to me explain what, who, how, and why, while trying not to seem like a tragic nerd. I tried to tell them it was like Gorillaz, and everyone loves Gorillaz, but I don't think they quite bought it.

I've got to assume this is a just a way of getting attention on something that might otherwise kind of suck but if nothing else it might be interesting as a further proof of concept. I don't see why it couldn't work.

Yeah I think what I really liked was their pop punk vibes on Tag Me, but this trap beat is just honestly not it for me

Hatsune Miku/other Japanese vocaloid characters along with K/DA proved it can be big. K/DA is a special case though because they already had fan buy in based on the IP. Stuff like Vtubers blowing up also shows that people can get really into these virtual personalities, but the key in all of the ones mentioned is that there’s real talent behind it and wether faces are shown or not the talent has to take precedence over the tech or concept or whatever.

I do think this case of trying to make them look like real people is a big mistake though. SM at least had the sense to make the Aespa characters look cartoony.

SHINee's back




The only other group I can think of to have a huge popularity boost like this with a song going viral after promotions, after years of struggle, on the verge of disbanding, is EXID-- and Up & Down was less than a year old when they returned to music shows to promote it again. This Brave Girls stuff is p huge and awesome, especially considering how old Rollin' is, and how long the group has been around. Its current roster have only been members for I think six or so years? But Brave Girls is technically like a ten year old group lmao.

It's also really nice considering they somehow never hit before despite being produced by Brave Brothers, who was behind so many huge songs or popularity streaks for some bigass artists not under his label.

Going off on a tangent, I'm really loving Dingo FreeStyle's Rising Verse series. It's been an easy way to explore a bunch of skilled artists quickly. The most recent two in the series were great. With the standouts in those two sets for me being Bruno Chapman, Ash-B, and Soovi.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mukv8YrOoU0

Also, lol at Bruno and D. Ark staring at the wall through most of Ash-B's set.

[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp
this thread is a really good read, thank you! i am an old drum and bass DJ that got bored last year and started listening to and mixing kpop as it is a huge challenge and really energetic and fun. I go back and forth but i am getting oriented and figuring out what's good. Also I know the Korean words for motorcycle and girlfriend now, so it's a learning experience on several levels.

I love the Brave Girls narrative so much, is it true that they were just about to disband too? I love a wholesome kpop moment.
