purple night was the only song with actual choreo so we only got one dance practice BUT there was a studio version of rain and that was cool as hell

chae - reminiscent mv visuals

this music video, featuring dahlia of st vincent (@zenlune), tells the tale of a relationship that’s slowly growing apart.

by the lyrics and visuals of the video, it’s evident the two girls are together, but their relationship appears to be a bit off. despite the bright colour palette and them appearing to be very in love the whole video, something appears... off.

the two girls will be seen having fun, looking happy together, and the next minute they’ll be doing outrageous things to get each other’s attention, and the next minute they’ll be laying down, embracing one another.

by the looks of it, when their relationship began they were so in love and happy they wanted to do everything together, but now they’ve grown so far apart that they have to do these outrageous things just to get the other to notice them. this narrative is pushed farther by some of the lyrics, which include, “what ever happened between us?” and, “i thought we were happy,” and “remember the nights you would hold me in your arms?” just to name a few.

reminiscent - chae

REMINISCENT is the first comeback of solo artist chae in 2020. released on january 28th, the album contains ten songs, a lot of which feature and are produced by other idols. “reminiscent”, the tile track, with its r&b and soul vibe, sounds like a bit of an homage to her older pieces, where many people argued she was on top of her game and the most successful she’s ever been.

track list:

she slayed so hard this era and it was so good

SHE. DID. NOT. COME. TO. PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS ENTIRE ALBUM WAS SO SEXY

the music video got 15m views in 24 hours and it was gay!!!! the mv featured dahlia from st vincent (@zenlune), and she also produced “low light”!! joon from st vincent produced “love/hate” too!! the gang!!

there were so many features and producers this is gonna take a minute

“text me” featured mj of solar!! mj is probably like the biggest chae fanboy ever so he was SO HAPPY it was so cute

“listen” featured clementine of royalty (@royalty-bighit) !! chae chose her bc her voice fits w the song perfectly and it’s just MWAH

“no time” was produced by nick of blood rose!! (@bloodrose-cloudent) he’s so young and can already produce like :(((

“you’re so beautiful” featured hojin of blood rose and orion of solar!! at this point blood rose and solar are just chae’s kids. she loves her bbys

and lastly “i could’ve loved you better” was produced by jaeyeon of venus!! (@venuswrld) chae loves her some ballads so when this opportunity came up she was like YES !!!!!

anyways. reminiscent got five wins!! so it’s not as many as she’s gotten in the past but she still got a lot

she choreographed my bad! and low light so she performed those a few times too

and ofc every song that didn’t get preformed she made sure to upload a dance practice or a studio ver or an acoustic ver

also. the STYLING

her makeup was so fun and glittery!! but also kinda dark?? like sexy and smokey but also sparkly?? it was cool tho

everyone thought she’d have blonde hair bc of the promotional teasers but haha nOpe she dyed it black the literal day her album went up

and then she uploaded it on youtube the next day. because she’s like that

you could tell she was confident this era bc the stage outfits were AMAZING and she ROCKED IT

a lot of it was like,,,,,, dark red and blue and white and black satin ?? it’s hard to describe but kinda like this or this or this or maybe this it was super pretty

SHE WAS SO CONFIDENT AND ENERGETIC ON STAGE THIS ERA SHE SHOWED EVERYONE THAT SHES T H A T B I T C H

the choreography for reminiscent was super catchy and people were doing dance covers everywhere!! it also had major thot energy .

lai did one bc gotta support ur bestie y’know

this album got her more attention from westerners which like. coolio!! she has a big international fan base

it actually turned out to be a vvv successful era, just not right away!! people liked that this album sounded a bit like the soul/rnb sound she had a few years back

n e ways 11/10
