Yerin has been GFriend’s most prolific soloist, dropping an album every year since 2022. Her light pop sound isn’t completely dissimilar from her former group, though the music keeps its ambitions pretty slight. New single Wavy continues her solo evolution, capturing a late-summer burst of energy.
Wavy might be the best fit for Yerin yet. Her vocals sound stronger and more assured than ever and the song’s brisk tempo highlights her upbeat persona. Its frothy post-disco sound is pleasant and unobtrusive, forming a slick backbone for Wavy‘s airy melodies. Touches of brass give the chorus oomph, while a post-chorus stands as a memorable highlight. Nothing about the track reinvents the genre or feels unique to Yerin as an artist, but every element is well-calibrated to forge a blast of sunshine that’s sure to get your head nodding. It actually reminds me of something IZ*ONE or WJSN might have recorded several years ago.

Off-topic again but I would love to hear your thoughts on Baekhyun’s second MV teaser. I think you might like it:
would also be curious to hear your thoughts on his highlight medley too:

Very curious how the full song will sound. The highlight medley’s not doing much for me, but the clips of the title track are promising. Hoping for some really strong melodies.

Yerin: song is a lot of fun, plain simple fun.

Off the topic but wondering if you’re going to write a review on Cococo by Genblue (幻藍小熊) – a Taiwanese group that debut in Korea?

Probably not, though it’s always difficult to decide what to do with these kind of K-pop songs by non-Korean acts.
But if you’re curious, I don’t care for the song. It just sounds like a bunch of modern gg tropes I’m not fond of.
