[7], Joshua Minsoo Kim: In virtually every aspect of “Likey,” production duo Black Eyed Pilseung capture the inwardly frantic yet outwardly calm nature of using social media as an avenue for affirmation. The song was rel…, "Likey" is a song recorded by South Korean girl group Twice, the lead single of their first full-length album Twicetagram. The others are more concerned to hit the right vocal spots to reveal just how much they’re breaking a sweat, but that’s Twice for you: the sugary beats and ditzy voices mask a deliriousness from all this need for attention. Javascript is required to view shouts on this page. Momo stands out the most; I know people complain about her singing but like I’ve said before, I carry water for distinctiveness over technical purity. Fwiw, I wasn’t crazy about “Signal”–the chorus was good but the rest of the song was a slog for me. At the least I can concede I’ve argued that the cleanliness of their records leads for a underlying rigidity that works to my interpretations of forced gestures, and that’s subjective. SuperM perform 'One (Monster & Infinity)' on 'The Late Late Show With James Corden'! To hear it all jumbled so starkly in such a song–especially one that’s rigorously upbeat, one that could play in the background quietly and maybe slip out of notice as a standard pop song–is magnificent. Sure, very few if any of the singers display any sort of ability as far as vocalizing, but I can think of a few groups mentioned EVEN IN THIS COMMENT SECTION who have similar quality of vocalists and never get such scrutiny. We love you so much. For all the moments that shouldn’t succeed (the Migos flow breakdown and the weird gap before the final chorus threaten to busy up the record too much), it’s a perfect balance of charming leap and trembling flail forward, doing its best to never sound as starved a record as it is. Although my most pressing question is: where can i purchase the in-ear headphones seen at 2:34? And Eclipse is one of the best song of 2017, furthermore it has something likey hasn’t, soul, I meant to say this before but @Jessica if you can figure out what 9M meant by “scandal pop, saucebox” in Love City i would love to know, I mean everything qween sojin says is iconic but i’m genuinely unsure what they were going for. Their vocals on this track are better than they’ve been previously. Jinsoul is the best dancer in kpop, maxwell wyd? TWICE THE 2ND FULL ALBUM "I CAN'T STOP ME" M/V Still Image A "Likey" and its music video was released on the 30th as a digital download on various music sites. Twice's comeback with their first full-length album, along with the lead single "Likey", was officially announced on October 16, 2017. Amusingly, it’s preceded by the girls singing the sound of a quickly-beating heart. [7], Maxwell Cavaseno: Contrary to popular belief, sincerity is never a pure answer. We may review it in the new year but… we’ll see. Regarding GFriend, still a bit confused by the love they receive. Actually, listening to this again versus “Knock Knock” and “Signal” (the two non-Black Eyed Pilsung singles) I start seeing Linda’s point. I’m also a huge sucker for text painting. I set an alarm to wake up at 4AM in order to hear Likey and I remember my initial thoughts being that it was wonderful except for the section right before the “me likey” chorus. The struggle to project an ideal version of oneself on social media, to put effort into the perfect selfie, is nothing new, but I’ve never heard it described in a song in such opposite terms–yes, it’s a struggle; yes, it’s something we enjoy; yes, I need that rush of dopamine any time someone likes my posts to function. “TT” is still pretty great, although I think I enjoy that more as a meme than a song. Let us know what you think of the Last.fm website. We’re ultimately left with our prized possession: a “Heart! They’re a group that knows how to have fun, which shines through in their performances and sound, and I’m always here for their bright bubbly bubblegum pop. Try making it through the days when even the robocalls don’t hit you back. Momo’s still terrible but she wasn’t working with much on this track anyway. Jessica Doyle: At first listen “Likey” seems underwhelming by Twice standards, as even applying the full force of Sana to “me likey, me likey likey likey” doesn’t result in a skull piercing along the lines of “neomu hae, neomu hae” or “kung, kung” or even “sign-EUL BONAE, sig-NEUL BONAE.” (The closest we get is Momo pouting about BB cream and lipstick, and she’s immediately followed by a more conciliatory Tzuyu.) There is nothing less flattering to the human face than your own tears, gushing down your face, mixing with snot and drool over your whimpering pleas to make you look more like a slug than any person of desire (no offense meant to my invertebrate audience, as someone with far less of a spine). Tour dates. I’m into Peek-A-Boo though, and Perfect Velvet is the best K-pop album since The Red. It turns out both hearts are our lifeblood. it feels like many elements mentioned in the blurbs don’t resonate as powerfully if you’re not invested into this group. This group basically shattered me with Momo’s sobbing babble of a voice and our mutual insistence that hysteria “isn’t myself at all.” Now, in the same way, her voice echoes giggling pleas for attention, acknowledgement, the cheap reminder that yes, somebody up/over/out there might be fooled into thinking they like “me.” The blare of the flange-drenched VST horns and the percussions slip from the freestyle/Atlanta bass skips on the verses to the 4×4 bridge to the hesitant 130-BPM breakstep fills on the pre-chorus are not as triumphant as they are propulsive, hurriedly pushing oneself along further and further. it’s good but not great, the main hook peters out halfway through it each time, Song fucking slaps, proper rating. I like GFriend too but man that Mamamoo comment is out of line. The same way LOONA stans think JinSoul can dance or “Eclipse” is even listenable. Hi, trolls! There’s no fixed-grin mega-chorus this time, but bursts of a buoyant, colourful twist on the K-pop-house wave. A new version of Last.fm is available, to keep everything running smoothly, please reload the site. Each chorus plays out like a perfectly presented social media life, splashing across all the complexities and effort they sing about going on outside of it. @William: I was wondering that very thing today! kinda thinking the chorus mostly lets the rest of the song down, but i enjoyed the enthusiastic blurbs, the production however is kitchen sink in the best way. more of a problem with the production (aka black eyed pilseung’s tendencies) than anything else. I enjoyed this more on a second listen than on the first which is a good sign. “Likey” draws on all of those strengths, washing the anxiety of a social-media crush through pastel pink filters and emerging as the group’s surprisingly soulful thesis statement. The song was released on October 30, 2017 by JYP Entertainment and distributed by Genie Music. Sorry we won’t be getting to “Lip and Hip” in 2017. But they are likewise burdened with the task of smuggling themselves into the day-to-day of their intended audiences. It’s good, but am I the only one hearing strong traces of “Get Lucky” in there? Are y’all gonna review peek a boo or did that come too late in the year, I remember Decalcomanie by Mamamoo was skipped over for similar reasons. The girls and their�managers were in Sapporo, Japan to film a CF for Japanese sports drink brand�Pocari Sweat. [8], Leonel Manzanares de la Rosa: I’ve always enjoyed how Twice likes to get busy, production-wise. Leading by example: Kim Hanbin's fans worldwide donated to charities and foundations. (And Dahyun stands out second-most, though that may be more the trap backing, and also my Dubu bias talking. I’m black and was just making fun of Mamamoo for their blackface incident. [9], Katie Gill: I’m a sucker for Twice. allkpop® is a registered trademark of 6Theory Media, LLC. [7], Iain Mew: “Likey” is another proof for the interpretation that made me love “Cheer Up” — that it was a demonstration of what happens when you play along with a role with such absolute conviction that real emotions and portrayed emotions begin to blur. Twice is one of the most dominant K-pop groups. In a better world, “Likey” would have been the urtext, at once acknowledging the enormous pressure to look a certain way — sucking it in, angling light so hits you just so, swiping through filters — and the rush of seeing the appreciation come through in short, warm buzzes. Interesting. Here's everything you need to know about the act's music and its nine members. How do I make this unusual? I would’ve given a 4 or 5, tops. Nayeon is more conciliatory: “But I like you, even if I can’t sleep, even if I’m late.” And Sana, by now a familiar and comforting presence, chirps back in ironic response: “Me likey, me likey likey likey, me likey likey likey.” It may be the best-executed joke in their entire discography: if there’s one thing that Twice has mastered, it’s the gap between what we know we feel and what we know how to say, and how that gap gets mediated through cinema cosplay, hooks as persistent as a lovestruck teenager, and alien soundscapes. Also for the record I could due the single ranking all day because I’ve stockholm syndromed my brain into thinking every song by this group is good…. Likely is not good, cheer up is better and Girl Front is the best kpop song ever, sorry atrl. Each line offers a different reading, mimicking how quickly we sift through the emotions, never quite resolving them. Go directly to shout page. On November 15 KST, a video clip was posted on TWICE's official Instagram page of the managers dancing to "Likey" in the cold weather of Sapporo, all bundled up in their bubble coats and winter gear. (I see my request for the trolls to come to our K-pop reviews has been answered. The conspiracy against Twice has finally been defeated, and TSJ remains one sole realm of justice and righteousness in the world. The rest I’m just not seeing. The difference is in the potential for an alternate reading: Twice as emotional messes at the mercy of the audience, Twice given the opportunity to acknowledge the constant mental-health assault that is idol life. I just wish that they didn’t hang the chorus on such an awkward phrase as “me likey.”[7], Mo Kim: “Like is such a common word, not enough to express my feelings,” Mina laments in the chorus. Do you know the lyrics for this track?
