First one: I really like this, it's not immediate but there's a vocal line about 35s in where it starts making sense. Whoever wrote this really knows their harmony... yes the lift you mention, but I also just really like the main chord progression it sits on
I also like the sort of "dreamy" vibe, it's not super fast and sort of floats. I find Kpop's ability to seem "gentle", regardless of style, fascinating

@Cognessence@social.linux.pizza Second one: this completely baffled me the first time you posted it, but if I approach it with that "dreamy" mindset I get it. It's not actually a banger, it's something else. I think pop should grab you in 3 milliseconds, and the beat on this starts 50s in. And there are no hihats. So weird... And then when hihats appear near the end, the result is the lost momentum you point out. Huh?! I like that it's a mixed gender group, that seems really rare and it shouldn't be.
