Comeback REVIEW OF G-IDLE'S SENORITA (1 Viewer)

[QueenGirlCrush]

THE FIRST VERSES
​

I really liked the seductive whisper-esque singing in the beginning. Soyoen and Soojin pull it off effortlessly. It picks up at the right time and in the right way with Yuqi and Minnie. All parts and their tone go perfectly with the lyrics and scenes being expressed. I really didn't like Shuhua's wo-eoeowo, here or in any part of the song. The beat and tempo should have picked up here instead of fading to build up to the chorus. Just in general I think a song like this didn't need more non-verbal sounds like Hann.

THE CHORUS
​

Overall I liked the chorus and think it was one of the best parts of the song. I just think the beat, instruments and tempo should have switched and gotten heavier for the second time around and the third chorus should have switched up the structure.

THE SECOND VERSES
​

To be honest it was this point in the song when Senorita began to lose me. Soojin and Shuhua's lines really do a bad job at picking up from the chorus, mixing with Sooyeon's energy in the rap and building up for the chorus. When Minnie comes in after the wo-eoeowo it was a awkward transition. The best part is Sooyeon but the cameo nature of her verse and Shuhua's part lessens the impact. Her rap should have been longer.

THE ENDING
​

Yuqi's fufu line was underwhelming and simply a strange and abrupt way to end. I was expecting more but was shocked when I saw the video concluding.

OVERALL
​

G-idle continues to impress me with their non-mainstream and atypical girl crush sound. Sooyeon took what could have been a generic girl crush Latin pop song and switched it up a bit. But my main problem is that the song is underwhelming in terms of structure and beat/tempo. The slow build and non-verbal sounds was perfectly fine for the initial part but having it continue throughout Senorita for me made the song anti-climatic. Thus Sooyeon's rap and the chorus felt out of place. Yuqi's fufu part should have been used as a pre-chorus instead of Shuhua's part or even in a breakdown/build up in a pre-chorus build to the third chorus sorta of like CL's Nanana Nonono in a song like Iam the Best. Sometimes a more traditional heavy instrumental girl crush sound is needed, especially to pull off a song like Senorita. Also give Shuhua more lines Cube!

SCORE: 5.5/10

I agree on this part, although, I'll give the song a 7/10. The instrumental is great, as well as the background vocals, the latin vibe is strong but feels fresh at the same time.

Also give Shuhua more lines cube!

Anybody: ...
Shuhua: Wooo, oohh, ohhh, ooohh...
Yuqi: Fu Fu Fu Fu fu...

I get this one

Actually yuqi part was one of my fav cause its somehow change and give me the upbeat feeling during the dance break where in the previous parts their movement was fluid but not that hard hitting this part reminds me the latata dan hann ending break, like their signature part

Oof 5,5 is pretty harsh but okay its all good its all about the taste and types

Its crazy how you and I had totally different reactions to her part.

Well I was debating between a 5.5 or a 6 but I gave a 5.5 because I felt like it was underwhelming but not really a boring or cliche song. To be honest I'm not sure about the 1-10 scores lol, but I would say while it goes against being too stereotypical girl crush and Latin (which God, we need at this point) as a song itself I thought it was a miss fire for a title track. Like I said adding some usual Latin and girl crush elements would have made it better.

Wade lol, keep them honest. Though I viewed it more as a conversation with a fellow Neverlander.

Yes their B-sides are great, especially What's Your Name and Say No. G-idle actually does ballad type songs very well but that was probably to risky for a sophomore title track.

I Made is overall a better album them I AM but I just thought Senorita wasn't the best as a title track, though I like it.

yeah its risky for title track even if WYN is a golden one

problem is I really like Senorita so I am having contradictary feeling when asked about the negative side...Agree with the 2nd part after shuhua to minnie chorus tho, and perhaps Soyeon raps were too little this time

Hey if you love you love it.

I'm just happy our girls are doing better and continuing to gain attention🤩.

 

[perhapz]

Woahh, 5.5 is too low, I'd give it at least a 6.5 or 7.

But What's Your Name keeps growing on me the more I listen to it, I like it more than Senorita ig.

 

[QueenGirlCrush]

Is 5.5 really bad, I thought it was okay...I think I'll just avoid the numbers next time lol.

 

[Darkseid]

About the same- I'd go with a 6 or 6.5 too.

 

[mirella]

I'd probably give an even lower score, I didn't like the second half of the chorus though the song had some promising melody lines. Senpai what did you think of the b-sides? I liked tracks 2 and 4 I think (didn't check names oops).

Yuqi's fufu line

 

[Dwragon]

You like what you like. No worriew, no neverland will come after you just for expressing your opinion in a normal way.

I think seniorita is my 3rd or 4th favourite song of the album, but it keeps on growing on me. I do not want to rate it so
