It's definitely not my favourite TT of hers but you know what, I'll take it. It's catchy, has some good visuals, some good choreography - I like it! I hope she'll go and promote on music shows, I'd love to see stages for this.
I'm listening to the album right now and it's also pretty solid.
Preach ... I honestly wish Stay Tonight was the title track instead of Bicycle. I know a lot of people didn't really like it but to me it's the best thing she's put out this era and the choreography was flawless.
Not my favourite single. I personally would have picked Stay Tonight as the lead single - I've replayed that one so much in 2020. But I guess Bicyle has some trendy elements? Which is why they picked it as the lead single? IDK. The music video wasn't her best either. Looking forward to the dance practce though, as always :) Also still need to check out the album!
I like it. Is it my favorite track from hers? Hm no. Is it still better than a lot of songs out there in my opinion? Absolutely yes. I like she's experiencing with new sounds, and even thought Stay Tonight is THAT song, I think the general public will enjoy this much more.
But then again, Chungah could release a track of hers singing ABC and I would enjoy it
The problem with having 5 title tracks is naturally there's a ranking lol
I don't love this as much as Stay Tonight or Play - it's very in the middle for me - BUT I can appreciate that each of these sounded different and I'm sure it'll grow on me. I only wish the MV wasn't lit so darkly (and not this video seeming the most budget!)
when she appears wearing a jacket, i thought it was hyuna at first! not my fave song from her, it's different from her usual release. props to her that she's willing to try new style.
I like it a lot! The only thing I don't love is the first part of the bridge.
Her glittery golden dress with the dripping crown and nails jewellery gloves omg (THAT LOOOOOOK <3)
I'm not finished listening to the album but I find it fun and happy. After that gloomy January that lasted 40 years it's everything I need to shake my booty on!
i prefer stay tonight and gotta go. thats her forte.
this is just a jumbled mess, although its catchy. its still heavily inspired by Rina/XS as said above and I really don't like it when I can clearly tell a song is copying an original/currently unique idea.
Yeah, as soon as I heard the first note I knew this was gonna be very Rina inspired which kinda piss me off I'm usually fine with kpop emulating other artist, that's a given in music, esepcially pop music But Rina has been working really hard, for a long time to finally get some recognition in an industry that didn't want her (she couldn't get nominated for some pretty big award), so this is not sitting right with me
I do think the latin influenced songs are my favorite on this but I appreciate the different sections and the 5 instrumental transitions. Bicycle is fine but I think Masquerade would've been a better title. Aside from that song I like Demente, Luce, Bother Me, Lemon and (I think) Everybody Has but I'll have to listen to this again once I get home from work
visually it's gorgeous, from the gowns, the beautiful gowns, to the choreo
song-wise, it's not for me. i'm not an expert on chungha's discography but i like some of her songs and this feels, as a casual fan, not like a song of hers. it sounds messy to me and musically it would suit hyuna or blackpink better. i'm missing 'her' in the song idk
If I watch it on Mute it's amazing because she looks great.
I think I would like it more if it was all in Korean because the English lyrics to me are just tacky. Singing about sex is great and all but I am tired of people comparing it too riding a bike lol.
yeah that's actually biggest problem with the song lol, it sounds like an english demo that's barely tweaked for the korean market and also I feel something like 'dream of you' was sensual and just right for chungha's direction and image, whereas this is more sexual and whilst she certainly can pull it off + it's good to go beyond one's comfort zone, it just isn't quite as enjoyable lol
i'm finally listening to the album now so i'll be back with commentary later but upon second listen (and without watching the mv) bicycle has already grown on me LMAO stay tonight and roller coaster will always be my top title tracks from her. bicycle is cute but it's a little messy in some places.
the styling in the mv was either extremely good or extremely bad though, holy shit. her all black and gold looks >>>>
It’s alright. There’s some catchy elements here but the sing talking/rapping whatever part just sounds lame to me and takes me out of the song. Those type of parts are almost always mood killers for me, it has to be really catchy for me to overlook it.
It is sexual but as usual with Chungha I don’t really find it sexy 🤷 maybe someone else it would be more convincing
It might grow on me but it’s a solid ok right now. I’ll see how it does on streaming. But it’s another case of prereleases doing better than the actual main release. That’s why I wish it would be more like the US where they’re all treated like title tracks when released and just have a long promo cycle vs prereleases where the final product doesn’t really deliver and it feels like all that hype was wasted
MV has some great visuals but it’s that shallow visuals I get bored of pretty easily even though I know Kpop fans are easily impressed by them
Oh and I can hear the comparisons to Hyuna and BP. Which for me isn’t a compliment lol, those are just the type of songs that just don’t much for me. I like noise pop but it has to have a special something and I don’t see it here.
It’s a very enjoyable album. Bicycle might take a few listens. It’s not ground breaking & won’t be AOTY but it’s pop-y and fun. Chill, Comes & Goes, Bother Me & Flying on Faith are probs my faves
I was excited about this but couldn’t really get through it. It felt like someone was trying to combined drunk in love with ari’s side to ride with sexy guitar riffs and it didn’t feel cool? Like her mysterious, dark and sensual imagery/songs better. I guess call me a prude old lady but I like the sexy songs about the anticipation of sexy moments~ a bit more and I think she did that well with gotta go and stay tonight
i'm honestly not getting the XS comparisons? it's all open to interpretation though, lol.
it's not my favorite title track of hers but it's not my least favorite, either? some of these lyrics are so silly but i know "it goes like broom broom broom broom" will be stuck in my head all day. 🤡
just off first listen, my favorite [new] songs: masquerade bother me (best song on the album imo, should've been the title!!) lemon all night long everybody has comes n goes
the spanish in demente threw me for a loop until i looked up guaynaa. 👀 i'm wondering who the demo was originally intended for, lol. it sounds very familiar but i can't place why?
