There are higher individuals than me to recount the lengthy, sordid saga of LOONA’s relationship with former company Blockberry Inventive. Suffice it to say, there are 5 members remaining and so they’ve re-formed as “Loossemble” — probably the most unlucky group names I’ve heard in a while. Contemporary begins like this have labored for different fashionable teams, however there’s a good quantity of threat within the rebranding.
Debut single Delicate seems like just a few LOONA songs thrown in a blender. It’s not as boisterous as tracks like So What, but it pulses ahead with the same confidence. The vocals are easy and trendy, whereas the percussion hits arduous. It’s a pleasant center floor, including simply sufficient new parts to assist Loossemble stand on their very own. The slapping beat and rhythm guitar really feel particularly recent for this group, even when they’re fairly stylish inside Ok-pop as a complete.
I’m undecided how I really feel about Delicate‘s refrain. Its phrasing and rhythm deliver a satisfying sense of propulsion and the women’ aloof supply sells the vibe. Nonetheless, these sort of spoken-word hooks are likely to age poorly for me. And with a lot of the monitor constructed on sing-talk, I’m anxious there’s not sufficient vary to maintain me occupied with the long term. We’ll see how that bears out, however for in the present day that is quirky enjoyable.
