LOL (from LOL – 2016)

Ah, the literal title observe of GFriend’s first album. I at all times thought it could be humorous if this had been a ballad given its title, however true to type LOL is a burst of Okay-pop pleasure. The spiral of synths that opens the track previews the ebullient refrain, however the verses sluggish for a light-weight new jack swing beat that recollects early Apink or SNSD. I like the intense synth line that closes out every refrain, particularly when punctuated by powerful stabs of percussion. The distinction between ethereal and hard-hitting is dealt with very effectively, making this an irresistible b-side.
