shinvi - soojin

[jaejoongs-nipple-piercing]

I was curious about the groups under SM a while ago and decided to look them up. There are some artists I never knew about (Isak N Jiyeon-a female duo, J-Min and Beat Burger). Shinvi, M.I.L.K, Black Beat, & Sugar I forgot about, and then CSJH & Fly to the Sky I keep forgetting were under SM.

Maybe I should look into other companies and do something like this. It might be interesting.

Former SM-Associated Girl Group Member Revealed To Currently Work As Lawyer

Former SM-Associated Girl Group Member Revealed To Currently Work As Lawyer

Before the likes of Girls’ Generation, f(x), and Red Velvet came around, SM Entertainment had a couple of girl groups that debuted under its subsidiaries, but were promoted as a part of SM Entertainment.

One of these groups included Shinvi, who was known as the agency’s “third girl group,” after S.E.S and M.I.L.K.

The trio Shinvi debuted in 2002, and only has one official album to their name.…

Shinvi - 15 to 30

I mean, Shinvi are definitely gonna get the short end of the stick here because I am just not a fan of r&b/ballads/slow jam/whatever the genre of this album is. My understanding is that early kpop especially is influenced by the Korean ballads of the time, so that’s probably what’s going on here. A lot of weird mixing decisions – again, it could be my headphones, but I didn’t notice those issues with the other groups. There was like, one single song with rap, maybe two? And that’s fair enough because their music didn’t really lend itself to rap much anyway. This is probably the least popular of the groups I’ve seen so far (although the view counts on the playlist I was using probably aren’t the most-viewed videos of the songs). Either way, this album was “meh” at best, nothing at all stuck out to me except the title “Cat Step” which is cute. Average score of 5.8 which… yeah, not great.

Intro

Oooh, we haven’t had any intros yet. This is super pretty too

I mean… I’m hyped for the album now, so it did its job haha

7/10

To My Friend

Starting in a similar timbre space to the intro

Vocals are mixed really quietly, hard to hear her

Okay, they do raise the vocals, that’s good

I like all of the tones going on, not convinced by the song yet

I appreciate the bass

The harmonies are really pretty, I think they’re used tastefully

6/10

Cat Step

Well I like the title if nothing else

This beat is groovy, much preferred to the first song

Oh, we start out with some rapping! That’s different to our previous groups

Again with the audio mixing! Maybe it’s my headphones, but I’m using the exact same headphones and settings as the previous two groups so I dunno

This song has 231 views which is the lowest I’ve seen so far

Woahh this rap around 1:45 is interesting, background vocals? Samples? Not sure what’s going on here

The only lyrics online are from some French site using romanized korean, so I’m gonna chuck the romanization into ChatGPT and see what it can tell me

According to the ChatGPT translation… this song has nothing to do with cats, aside from one mention of cats in the first verse. This is disappointing.

6/10

Regret

More slow jam

I like the background ambience during the first verse

I don’t care at all for the chorus

Okay, the ending harmonies and melody were nice

6/10

Violet … That’s Meaning

This is gonna be a long album isn’t it

New low of 177 views

I like the cute intro at least

Some nice synth and bass and horns in the background, good instrumentation

I like all of the sounds being used, but the song just ain’t it

Also again with the mixing, this bass feels absurdly loud compared to the rest of it

6/10

Heavenly Vacation

I am a sucker for this style of guitar playing

The harmonies are alright

Omg a fade out

6/10

Just in Time

Very bright vocals

Electric piano and 808

I feel like I would’ve liked a Sugar version of this song lmao

I know I keep using this phrase, but I am just not convinced by Shinvi so far

6/10

Princess in the Castle

A male vocalist, that’s the first for this album so far

5/10

Starry Night

This is a Mamamoo song

I actually really like this intro. What genre is this?

I’m getting chiptune vibes from the hits on the & beats

This is … alright, I guess? I like the instrumentals more than the vocals

I also feel like the exact same song would Slap if it was mixed differently

I don’t buy the pre-chorus at all

6/10

Gift of Sadness

Two songs left, I can do this

5/10

Darling

The beat is interesting

Why does the beat always get less interesting when they start singing?

Probably so I can focus on the lyrics or whatever

I guess trying pretty harmonies at this tempo is vaguely interesting

The bridge(?) is kinda neat

Kind of a weird song to end the album on though. Like … this song had nothing to do with the rest of the album, it felt very thrown in there

6/10
