Tube Thursday
I'm on a roll with these updates, wow. Here's another MV reaction, this time it's the debut of Star Empire's IMFACT.
I don't know anything about this group except that they're the little brothers to ZE:A and 9muses. I do like their sunbaes so I had high hopes but I gotta admit Lollipop did not impress me.
Watch the reaction here and read on for a review of the rest of the album below
The intro to Lollipop is called I'M FACT which I guess is supposed to be a clever wordplay but doesn't really make sense. It's okay for an intro, it sounds similar to Lollipop but more chill.
Rating: 6/10
The title song Lollipop is not my style as mentioned in the reaction. It sounds like when you have 2 tabs with different music open and I can't figure the song out. I don't hate it but I can't listen to it without trying to look for tabs with autoplay..
Rating: 6/10
The next song is called Shine and it's more on the slow side for a pop song but still enjoyable. I can't speak for the lyrics but the vocals are much clearer and the rapper sounds really good in my opinion. It would have been a good title song if it was a bit faster.
Rating: 7/10
The last song on the album is 양아치 which translates to "ganster" or "punk" so I'm guessing it's about a bad boy? I need to look up the lyrics. Either way the sound is nice, music wise it's faster than Shine but it still has a ballad-y feel to it. Overall this is probably my fave song on the album.
Rating: 7.5/10
I'm not sure if it's because I was expecting more from Star Empire but I feel like this album wasn't really put together all that well. Maybe it's supposed to be in this style but I feel like it's just messy, specially Lollipop is so all over the place...I just don't understand. But seeing as I identified most with the teacher in the MV maybe I'm really just old.
