3YE THREAD

A underrated gem, 3YE is a trio from a very small company that hasn't had a release in... I actually don't want to count. They did have a European tour though, and their Youtube channel updates semi-frequently, so they're kept more or less active.
I love their bada** songs and they're really decently produced despite the lack of media exposure (and, I'm sure, budget).

Now, for the first time in two years and a half, they're about to finally make a comeback !

...well apparently we need to expect a change in concept, though we don't know how radical yet. I'm cautiously optimistic.

And you can see that promotion is slowly ramping up, since they just released a medley shot in a dance studio !

(why a change of concept, though ? I like bada**. We need bada**. We can't all be supershy-batting-eyelashes cute teens)

They did warn us it'd be a different concept. We got a different concept.

...Lucky for me, my second-favorite type of concept is "ethereal femininity". So the vibes are not off-putting.

Sadly, I find the song only starts taking shape after the bridge, with the first two thirds being a bit too mild for my taste.
Also I wish there was a clearer distinction between the chorus and the rest of the song. It's all a bit samey, which hurts the song slightly, and makes it feel longer than it is. And it's a bit sad because it's not bad, but it feels stretched.
Was it worth waiting 2 years and 7 months ? Eh.
Am I angry ? Not really. It's a nice playlist filler that's gonna pair deliciously with something like OH MY GIRL's The Fifth Season or even LOONA's Butterfly.

How did I NOT KNOW that Yuji was going solo ? Not a song I'll listen to a lot, but glad she's not going anywhere. At least it's not a boring ballad.

(yes I think she was the most charismatic member of the group, and yes she's the one I'd have picked for a solo career afterwards, leave me alone, do you know how many bad news Kpop has had for me lately ?)
