This mini is a lot like Full Moon in that I haven't really played the two tracks not mentioned above much, but overall it's a really good mini and it's helping me love Ailee more and more. The title track is an awesome anti-song with a huge bite to it as Ailee yells the title - Don't Touch Me, putting her in charge and taking command of the situation. It works wonders as a 'females with attitude' song and it totally won me over because of that. Teardrop is my other favourite and is a million times better through headphones since it creates an atmosphere and goes that extra mile that songs rarely do. It's a heartfelt song that makes me wail the chorus with her because she channels her sadness so brilliantly. The highlight of the mini is really her voice, which is phenomenal and I feel like she just keeps using it better. When will this bitch get a full-length album ffs.
Ngl overall I was really impressed with this mini! I heard TaeTiSeo's first mini Twinkle a while back and the whole thing was basically one giant dud besides the title track and another song. Either way I gave this a chance since I love SNSD so much, and man it's so good. All the upbeat songs are fun, the slower songs are great ballads and it's just a really solid piece. My only criticism is SM choosing Holler as the title track when literally every other song on the mini would have been a better choice dd. My favourite song is Stay for being a retro disco throwback track done properly, it lowkey slays.
I'm kidding, but it's all great so far, bar Full Moon. Probably my biggest disappointment of the year, given how much I loved 24 Hours and how hyped I was for her to come back.
Awesome graphics, amusing descriptions, good choices!
I'm surprised to see TTS and Ailee chart this high. Only because I was under the impression that you didn't use their collective mini albums much and only stanned hard for one or two songs off each. Pleasantly surprised!
