IVE - Either Way, Baddie, Off The Record thoughts (1 Viewer)

[Moguri]

Kitsch was like girlcrush but it wasn’t a title track. I AM is energetic but idk I guess what I meant is that IVE has a sound to them thats more laidback, classy, expensive, rather than in your face, overly produced, bass heavy. I just call what they do subtle and classy cause idk how else to describe it. They sound like IVE lol

Whatever the case, no I think IVE sounds perfect and their sound is something thats missing currently.

I don't know what was different about Kitsch compared to the triple title track now. It was promoted on music shows and had a M/V, it never stops to baffle me how much value people put on the company calling something title track. Either way is a "title track" and they do not even perform it, which also baffles me btw.

But I agree that something is missing, @ApexApinkPanda posted an article a while ago that put it very well in my opinion:

I think anthemic is a really nice way to describe many of IVEs songs and I think thats what I also really like about them, so I'm sad they gave up exactly that part with the current comeback

That they came back with 3 offical title tracks and all 3 of them are not in their signatgure style, just makes it even more hard to understand.. it would have been fine to do one signature IVE song and 2 different ones, regardless which ones of the other 3 they picked
