my opinion about itzys new album (disclaimer my ult gg group is itzy)
i love this song and the mv for it. the girls voices and lines are fun to sing along to and definitely something that i think “noise” music enjoyers would like! i was definitely sad when itzy started getting hate for “copying” aespa when both groups are friends.
I LOVE THIS!! the music video was super fun to watch and seeing the girls have such a excellent album drop with no skips is amazing (i think they have no skips in general) once again disappointed seeing people complain about the mv because it was more focused on the choreography than the scenery shots.
i’m not going to lie it wasn’t what i was expecting when i first heard the song. i think i was expecting something similar to born to be and untouchable instrumental wise, but saying that it grew on me and i love it and the choreography looks so fun!
i think if you’ve read this far you can see i’m extremely biased and hope you weren’t expecting an actual in-depth talk about the album with that being said i really like this song. it was definitely a switch up vibe wise since mr. vampire is before it and this instrumental fits more with the two first songs.
the solos were the main thing i was looking forward to for this comeback if i’m being completely honest. i loved the music video for yejis solo and really liked how she used the “hey” from dalla dalla. also it was nice to just hear how her music would be if she was a soloist or just hear how the music she wrote sounds like!
i love lia and i wish her a speedy recovery! i hope when she’s better we get a music for her (if that’s something she wishes to do). i love how unique all their voices are and can definitely see lia making music that has a similar vibe to laufey and rocco. i really like how soft lia sounds when she sings if that makes sense.
also side note i really want itzy to do what twice is doing so far in the since that they get their own solo album i think it would be super fun to hear and would be something new for the girls
run away mv was interesting i loved the scenes used for the songs and feels like it adds to the song instead of just giving pretty shots that kinda have nothing to do with the song (if that makes sense). i really like all the girls solos and want more.
bringing it back to wanting them to drop solo albums while still doing group activities since i know the girls prefer to focus more on their groups than solos
time to be super bias because chaeryeong is my bias. i really like hearing her voice and was super excited to listen to her solo. the music video was super fun to watch and i was paying attention to every scene. i really want an english translation of all the solos so i can better understand and connect to their solos more.
also do we think they have dance moves to their solos if they were to be preformed?? because i think it would be fun to see how the dance style would be for each solo. we got to see the dance style of yeji, ryujin and chaeryeong since they were artists of the month but i’m really curios how yuna and lia would be.
my first thought was “woah pink” it was the first thing that stuck out for the mv, but i think it fits yuna. also the song?? it’s going to be in my head and i just know i’ll start humming random parts of the song. yet, but is super fun to listen to and i don’t think i’ll trust someone who hates on it without listening to it first (it’s valid if they listen to it and it wasn’t their vibe but also being respectful about it).
this song could’ve definitely been in barbie don’t try to convince me otherwise.
itzy will always keep me on my toes when it comes to vibe changes in this album. escalator is super catchy, but i can also understand why it might not be people’s favorite compared the other songs. it reminds me of an older itzy song but i’m not sure which one. either way i do like this song even if i wasn’t expecting how it was going to sound.
i do think it makes a perfect cycle if you have the album on repeat. i like how it ends on a slower and fade out sound and then quickly jumps to the speed and sound of born to be.
