they have an almost haunting and mysterious undertone to a lot of their bsides so i'm glad that they are able to experiment a little but still have a signature and consistent sound. also the fact that you clocked ice queen as that song like 20 seconds in was hilarious because it is. that song makes me feel like a bad bitch. i'm not even a DIVE, but this is my favorite release this year so far. every song was well produced and suited them each so well. whoever did the A&R for this album deserves a raise. the cohesion and selection of songs was seriously top tier. also ascendio (idk how to spell lol) is getting a music video as well so im definitely looking forward to that.
Ice queen has to be one of my favourites but I got to give credits to the lyrics in blue heart because wonyoung wrote them about the hyper scrutiny female idols experience in the K-pop industry so really listening to the lyrics in that song enhances its whole vibe.
ice queen is probably my favorite IVE song. It feels like it’s in the same family as blue blood and eleven, which have that mysterious element to it, but with a hard hitting base…whoever produces IVE’s music is so freaking good. Loved your reaction! ❤
They can't keep getting away with this Pat! I thought the bar was high after I've IVE but wow. What an EP. They are all killer but I think Accendio, Ice Queen and Reset are top for me. Just amazing.
I agree with you, I'm tired of 2 min songs. I want more 3 min songs to get an experience. And the crazy thing about it, IVE doesn’t have a in-house production team at Starship. Hybe has a in-house production team for each label excluding ADOR so their music is exclusive to these music producers that won't be working with other companies or labels outside of Hybe. So that sound will be associated with Hybe.
