LOONA spin-off Loossemble are at the moment with out an company, unable to launch new music since 2024. As a salve for anxious followers, their youngest member YeoJin has returned at present with a solo monitor. Sugar Speak will probably please these within the temper for a vibey LOONAVERSE monitor, even when it appears like “simple listening” to me.

A music like Sugar Speak is likely to be efficient as an antidote to greater, bolder sounds, however in an business the place subdued vibes have change into the norm moderately than the exception, there’s little to assist the music stand out. It’s a boppy mid-tempo with a repetitive refrain and a barely-over-two-minutes runtime. It feels extra like a sigh than an exclamation, led by a candy however unsubstantial vocal and manufacturing that hardly exerts itself. If something, Sugar Speak is an train in fan service — an opportunity to get product onto the market moderately than make any type of musical assertion. Hopefully this nice stopgap will urge some company to grab up the total group and provides them an opportunity for a (third) resurgence.
