Everyone, I'm going to be making a "Save One Song" K-Pop Tournament [or try to make it a tournament] so make sure y'all are voting for your favorite song.
I will start it in...maybe an hour? [Just so you know the whole tournament won't all be in one day] I'm going to tag (try to) all the groups that have songs in the tournament.
Please consider voting!!
BTW: Never mind I'm going to make multiple of these tagging different groups
Have you heard Eite's debut EP Independent woman? It's two songs and they are excellent! I've listened to them so many times that I even dreamt of them xD
Thanks for sending this in!! We're taking the liberty of assuming you intended this ask for me (Minji).
I love listening to new music, and I've really been meaning to get into more girl groups, so this is extra delightful :)
Thoughts below:
INDEPENDENT WOMAN: First, the song is lower energy than I expected. From the title alone, I was anticipating a song more like "3D Woman" by Jamie, which, admittedly, may not seem like a high energy song from the tempo or density of the instrumentation (it's pretty sparse throughout), but it has such strength and an in-your-face attitude. "INDEPENDENT WOMAN" on the other hand, has a driving energy coming from the instrumental, but it's not overwhelming or in-your-face like "3D Woman" is. It's pushing the listener forward, but not in a strong way. It's a little gentler. I LOVE the stop-time at the chorus, where the whole song stops, not just the melody! I was glad they did it at both the first chorus and second chorus, but when I heard the way the bridge(?) at 2:30ish leads into the final chorus, I kinda wished the stop-time only happened on that final chorus because it sounds SO neat, and would be such a cool change!
DANCE IT OUT: I immediately picked up TWICE vibes from this song, especially at 0:32 and the second verse with the raps that feel very speech like (sprechstimme?). The way the instrumental changes at the bridge is very cool, (both as in neat and as in temperature). The sparseness gives us a little break, but it immediately ramps up again with the repeated drum that goes right back into the chorus. Speaking of the final chorus, I LOVE the harmonized backing vocal punctuations at the end!
I'll definitely be keeping an ear out for their future releases!
