This is a powerhouse of a work, no less and much more than simply meets the ears. A large memorabilia to an amazing artist whose rather understated influence cannot be more clear the more jazz-hip hop and even lofi becomes a mainstay in mainstream music. And while reading Shing02's personal reflection and account of the creation of this compilation album was honestly heartbreaking, I think for this project in particular I will be judging it solely on the combined efforts of the message ... read more

The World Is My Oyster: 7/10
FEARLESS: 10/10
Blue Flame: 8.5/10
The Great Mermaid: 10/10
Sour Grapes: 10/10

Le Sserafims debut project is undeniably their best, at least in my opinion.

The Hydra: 7.5/10
ANTIFRAGILE: 10/10
Impurities: 7/10
No Celestial: 8.5/10
Good Parts (when the quality is bad but I am): 10/10

Good Bones: 5/10
EASY: 10/10
Swan Song: 8/10
Smart: 10/10
We got so much: 7.5/10

I meannnnnnnnnn yeah it's my favorite out of the Easy, Crazy, Hot era. EASY is so catchy, I legit cannot help but sing along every time I listen to it. And I love it's toned down almost vintage feel that the vocals and backing instrumentals give off. And Smart... ok listen, that choreo had to bump my score a little higher I can't lie. HOWEVER, it does not hurt that it has the best verses out of all ... read more
