ITZY are at the moment having fun with sudden virality because of their 2020 b-side That’s A No No gaining traction on SNS. It’s the proper time for the ladies to be selling, and if a full group comeback isn’t within the works a solo debut is the subsequent neatest thing. Following the group’s chief Yeji, youngest member Yuna has launched her first solo work.

Ice Cream does a pleasant job harnessing Yuna’s star energy over a lightweight synth-powered monitor. The music really sounds extra like Twice than ITZY. It’s shiny, upbeat and coated in a shiny pop sheen that matches Yuna’s interesting voice. That is the type of music that’s nearly unimaginable to dislike. It doesn’t put a foot mistaken and makes no strikes that will polarize listeners. It’s merely good, fluffy pop music.

However whereas i benefit from the music, what’s maintaining me from loving Ice Cream is the flatness of its melodies and association. No aspect throughout the monitor has vary, which means it bops alongside properly with out ever reaching a peak and even constructing stress. A secondary hook with a splashier sound would have finished wonders to present Ice Cream lasting curiosity. Because it stands, that is the type of music I’d fortunately placed on any playlist however wouldn’t wait with bated breath to listen to.
