As an informal observer, it may be troublesome to recollect the place all of the LOONA members ended up after the group’s dissolution. Some grew to become Loossemble whereas others fashioned ARTMS. Yves joined neither, although she did have a hand in tune composition for Loossemble. As a substitute, she’s launched into her personal with a brand new label and new sound. Loop presents the primary glimpse of her profession as a post-LOONA soloist.

This tune wouldn’t be misplaced on a LOONA album — or any of the group’s progenies, for that matter. It’s tremendous trendy and atmospheric, pulsing on a glossy dance beat underlined by fashionable percussion. It’s fitful and aloof, by no means giving in to the total excesses of dance music. Even when the beat expands throughout the refrain, the tune performs issues cool with an unbothered “ooh ooh ooh” hook. The rhythmic pre-chorus is extra memorable, although the manufacturing strips too far again for my style.

Rapper Lil Cherry presents a blast of firepower halfway by the observe, contrasting with Yves’s ethereal efficiency. The 2 voices work properly collectively, making me want they’d a extra compelling tune to play with. When it comes right down to it, Loop is simply too empty to stay in reminiscence. It feels extra like background music at an H&M retailer than a career-setting spotlight.
