Date: 2021-11-29 12:12 pm (UTC)weki meki have a fairly varied discography but what usually unites their tracks is a sort of chaos and fun. If you like the vibe of this photoshoot, it matches their 'cool' and 'oopsy' mv's - 'cool' was a sort of boygroup-style, more experimental track, which got the attention and enjoyment of a lot of international fans, whilst oopsy was a lot lighter, very fashion-y, but still with an energy to it and cheeky lyrics.
their earlier tracks were a lot less elegant, they sort of invented the 'teen crush' style that a lot of popular groups are doing at the moment (but got none of the credit for, naturally lol). 'picky picky' is probably their most known track both internationally and locally, a spunky, very catchy funky track about having high standards in love, while 'dazzle dazzle' is in a similar vein but a bit more experimental and also very ~aesthetic.
if you let me know what you're normally into i could recommend some b-sides?

'Stay With Me' from their first EP is a bit early-Twice like, upbeat but heartfelt, and 'Iron Boy' from their second is in a similar vein. I also personally love 'True Valentine' from their third EP, it's so fun and it was one of the first times they had a more equal line distribution.
In later comebacks their leader, Suyeon, has started composing, and her tracks are really great. She has a very synthpop style which brings something different to Weki Meki's albums that still fits in with their style. 'The Paradise' is one of my favourite tracks of theirs, and 'One Day' from their recent album is another lovely dreamy ballad from her. Apart from that, 'Sweet Dreams' from their last comeback really caught the attention of a lot of international fans. It's got that Weki Meki energy with a more mysterious vibe.

It's so good! I can see why it's one of your favorite tracks. I think so far One Day is my fave - it's meaty music-wise, does that make sense lol? I love nothing more that when different sounds are layered - actual pure bliss to my brain 😂.
Wait, stayc! One of the girls was a child actress, no? I'm pretty sure I've seen her in a couple of dramas 😱. And you were quite right, definitely enjoyed So Bad.
Honestly can't thank you enough for the recs and for just taking the time to pick these songs! I'm always on the lookout for good music and I'm slowly easing my way into the world of ggs, which is so amazing by the way! Why did it take me almost 2 years since I started my kpop journey to get here 😂. OK now I'm off to learn alot of names 😆!
