Date: 2017-03-21 03:37 pm (UTC)Black Widow is great, totally different from the rest of the songs, I hope they'll keep experimenting with this kind of sound!! And I'm so happy with Running <3
Nice mini overall :)

Date: 2017-03-21 06:44 pm (UTC)First Listen
Date: 2017-03-21 06:46 pm (UTC)2. Wee Woo (not a first listen): I love the guitar riffs in the beginning, everything about the start makes me excited and dance-y. Xiyeon starting the song with Hi! (like the album title) as the oldest trainee and singing 'princess' when she is nicknamed Pledis' Princess is so fitting. Xiyeon has such a nice tone (she sounds the same live!), I'm glad she has a lot of singing parts on their debut track. The super-hero-part is still not my favourite part of the song, but the more i listen to the song, the less i don't not like it. I wish they could have changed up the repetition of the superhero-part though, do different lyrics for the lines before 'superhero'. The choreo for the part is cool, though, how they go down during the first superhero and go up again during the second superhero.
The chorus and wee-woo-part are so catchy, i love them. The guitar is in full display again. I also like the word-play of wee-woo and wi-heom (dangerous). The rap-parts are solid, there's a nice contrast between Nayoung's and Kyla's rap voices. The slowed-down part at the end reminds me so much of sth Red Velvet would do haha. Pinky's last line was a surprise the first time I listened to the song. 4/5
3. Black Widow: 0:25 onwards sounds gorgeous, the musicbox! This song has the most "atmosphere"(I especially like the girls voices accompanying the rap @ 0:38 and the drum clap(?) all hyping till the drop), it's powerful and full of confidencel. They sound nothing like rookies here. I need to see the choreo for this. Who is rapping starting from 1:17? I think it's Nayoung because of the intonation but I'm not sure. I also love Eunwoo's part starting 2:10 and Pinky's part suits her voice so much. My only pet peeves are that I don't like the harmonization around 2:47 and that the song looses a bit of steam at the end in my opinion. Still a hit! 5/5
4. Running: I love the song, it's just fun and gets me in a good mood. This is a great B-track. Did the live version have brass instruments as well? I'm also happy I get to hear Sungyeon a lot in this track, her 'just be my bae' is making me chuckle. how many insiders are hidden in this album!? I also like how the song start and stops with the ticking clock. 4.5/5
5. Over N Over: Ballad-time! It starts kinda standard, although their gorgeous voices make it work. Love the part starting from 0:54 and 2:35 is where I start to love the song, i love the piano melody and the interchanging rap and vocals before the highlight. The harmonies and adlibs at the end show how capable they are vocally. I also like how you expect a final note at the ending, but it doesn't come haha.4.5/5
6. We: Love love love this song since the first listen. Their little choreos when they performed the song for the first time were so lovely, i kinda wanted them to leave more of that in their final choreography. It's such a positive 'hwaiting'/'pick-me-up'-song. Also the first Pristin/Pledis Girlz-song I bought haha. 6/5

Date: 2017-03-22 09:34 am (UTC)be the star: ok
wee woo: i really like the guitars, but the song just doesn't do it for me. kind of like the chorus.
barking in black widow threw me off, sounds like a clc song?
running is the song!!
generally not really into slower songs but over n over had a nice feel
we is a nice uplifting girl group song!
i really liked that they had a hand in composing but i'm not really convinced and tbh a bit underwhelmed with this album. i'm kind of missing their own color/identity as a group? but on the other hand: it's only their first album, so they'll have some time to develop. hope they'll do well!
