Love Whisper (from Parallel / Rainbow – 2017)
Previous Thoughts: “In some ways, Love Whisper is as GFriend as GFriend gets, but mostly it sounds like a generic post-Luv Apink track. On first listen, the song’s lack of ambition feels like a devastating blow, squandering every bit of excitement the girls had built up.” (full review)
Updated thoughts: This song suffered from the circumstances around its release. It came on the heels of the excellent and daring Fingertip and represented a reversion to form for the group after that single flamed out with the public. I begrudged Love Whisper for these concessions and gave it a much-too-low score. The song’s standing has improved immensely in the years that followed, mostly because GFriend fit this light new jack swing style to a tee. The chorus plays like a warm hug, addictively bouncy and comforting. And, we’ve even got a patented Yuju power note to take us to the climax! Sure, its production could use a bit more imagination, but why fix something that was never broken?

The Bias List // K-Pop Reviews & Discussion 
I feel like many people were underwhelmed with this song and summer rain on release and warmed up to them(at least love whisper) later on. They’re much easier to appreciate with the context of the rest of their discography. Sometimes you just need to have tracks that represent your sound really well with all the signature elements

I loooooooooove this song.
It’s so cute and nice. Also, the synthesized drums throughout are probably the best part of the instrumentation.
