Tek - yeah so I pre-ordered every version of this back in June
Kas - My girls! Tekla said this first, but I agree with her: Was this a Red Velvet comeback in the works before Wendy’s injury? It doesn’t sound completely foreign to the group’s concept.
Kas - Really good. Dongkiz is going on my to-listen list.*Rankings (by K): Y.O.U - (5)
Tek - yeah it was fine

Yiyang - “Listen”
Tek - she sounds lovely, but I’m not a huge fan of ballads as debuts
Kas - It’s okay. Not an eye catching debut.

XRO - “Welcome to My Jungle”
Tek - I’ll be very surprised if Kas doesn’t like this
Kas - Screw you.
But yes I love them.
Like dang. Okay. My kind of ish.

SSAK3 - “Beach Again”
Tek - fun
Kas - I really like both songs.

Y&W - “Walk With Me”
Kas - I really liked this song. I’ll have to give anything else they have out a listen.
*Rankings (by K): Walk With Me - (4)
Tek - I’m only in July and it’s getting harder and harder for songs to stand out to me. It’s a nice song, it really is, but in the past few days I feel like I’ve heard so many like it.

CHIC&IDLE - “3! 4!”
Tek - Same as before. Do I like it? Yes. Is it a nice song? Yes. Does it stand out in any way? No! (The outfits are cute, but that’s not the song.)
Kas - Look me in the eyes and tell me it isn’t SNSD 2020 edition.

Huh Chan Mi - “Highlight”
Tek - This is more my music taste. July has really been failing me.
Kas - A really solid little release. I don’t have any complaints. They weren't stand out songs, which lost them the 5, but not everything has to be.
Tek - Look. Again, it’s nice. It’s pleasant. He has a nice voice. For most of these debuts I really don’t have anything to say. It’s a little above average for me, but something to write home about? .........maybe.
Kas - Yes Tek, you were right. I like him.
I really enjoyed this album, actually. New comfort soloist? I think yes.
Little note: I like how the two songs before it are more somber, and “Fool of Love” takes on a more playful air as he is playing the fool. And after EXO-SC, I’m always here for a Moon collab.

Blastar - “One Way”
Tek - the best way I can think to describe this is ‘almost special.’ I don’t know where it missed the mark, but it did.
Kas - Yes! I love it. I don’t quite know why I like it so much, something about the chorus...*Wait they disbanded on Christmas eve? What kind of a present is that?
