Wow, Yoobin is banking on J-pop retro! Still reading the K-reports, but JYP described her title track 숙녀 ('Ladies') as 'City Pop' (シティーポップ) in genre. It's a Disco/Funk/Jazz/AOR fusion genre that was popular in urban Japan in the 1980s.

Yoobin said in Allure that she's interpreting in her way. But JYP said she'll become a vocalist (no mention of rapping) & also namedropped Yoon Jong-Shin's 'Welcome Summer (Monthly Project July 2017)', which has a jazzy urban contemporary sound. Not hook songs or dance music.

Remember when they pushed the release date back because they needed to finish working on the album? Which album exactly? Yubin, girl, 2 songs isn't even a mini album!

Do you think she’s pulling a Loona and will reveal more tracks over the days or am I just being hopeful lol

okay i’m confused ‘cause when she first officially announced her comeback date on insta i remember the post saying something about a single album but in a very confusing way where i wasn’t sure if it was a single or a mini, but now that i look back at the post, there’s no mention of singles. am i going crazy or are they trying to trick me!! damn it, jyp

'JYP said she'll become a vocalist'
I can't believe JYP still gets to decide what she does as a soloist.. and she waited 1,5 years for this album
I hope she can promote on music shows at least

Fusion genre popular in urban Japan in the 80s?

I'm praying this is her 60s 70s 80s single à la Namie Amuro. "What a Feeling" is still a freaking jam.

disappointed at only 2 songs, but her doing city pop should be interesting.

"album"

"2 tracks"

i've bought maxi singles in my teens that had more songs than this "album"

[xlovexlessxtyx.livejournal.com]

If theyre banking on the niche market of city pop/future funk enthusiasts to carry this onto the charts, then that's a fools game.


But, it's guaranteed to sound good at least. We'll see.

I love that sound! I hope she gets at least half the promotion and support that she deserves.

jyp needs to be trashed once and for all but i can't sit here and pretend like this concept doesn't make feel like my heart is abt to vibrate outta my ass bc of how excited i am for this shit biiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch "disco/funk/jazz fusion" is what god sounds like, as a city pop connoisseur™ i'm trying not to shit myself

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Well with this description it sounds like it will be good (or at least that I'll like it lol)
but damn... I never expected a full album but not even a mini? :/

[oppameansit.livejournal.com]

that's a single and a b side, not an album
