Heyy
I took a break from wp for some time but I am back now so here are some of my thoughts abt the releases that happened while I was away:
1) Yeji's debut was PERFECT and it was everything we needed and anybody who doesn't like it is a hater and just doesn't see the vision
2) Rosie was veryyyy nice and very much what I expected after hearing the pre-releases. The blatant Taylor Swift sound takes away a bit from it's authenticity but I believe this will improve since it's just a debut! (song ranking in the comments)
3) Ruby was... okay? I really don't find it as artistic as ppl claim it to be which is unfortunate bc Solo was my fav bp solo for a looong time. Diversity in a debut album is never a good thing in my opinion bc it doesn't show the artist's full potential rather just tiny glimpses of different skills so if I wasn't a kpop fan and didn't know Jennie from her bp work Ruby 100% wouldn't convience me that she is the superstar overflowing with talent that everyone claims her to be. Exception is Zen cuz that song has more artistic value than everything that Jennie has put out combined. It's kind of like an ars poetica and I'm obsessed with it. Like Jennie is good too tbh but nothing extraordinary.
3) amortage is cute, 2,5 songs out of the 4 are great but it's very obvious to me that Jisoo isn't fully committed to her idol carrier. The songs has just the amount of her touch that is needed in order to being able to be sold under her name
(I don't care abt Alter ego since I haven't liked any of the songs Lisa had put out so far and my interest in her is close to 0)
4) Xdinary Heroes are climbing up my bias list VERY QUICKLY. I liked them since debut but ohhh every song they put out is a masterpiece (except for almost like the whole Overload album.. we don't talk abt her)
