K-Pop A-Z Review: GFriend – Room Of Mirrors

Keep up with GFriend’s A-Z reviews here!


Room Of Mirrors (from Song Of The Sirens – 2020)

“Room Of Mirrors” is the most evocative title and prepares you for a song as equally mysterious. It’s a bit surprising, then, that this turns out to be a fairly standard GFriend track. It has a nice symphonic lilt in the way many of their songs do, but the arrangement restrains itself at every turn. The melodies have a similar nuance, airy and light even as momentum seems to point toward something more dramatic. It’s a fine album track, but the group have far stronger material within this same mood.

  1. IMO this song deserve a 9. Totally biased to this song, the chorus is just so fully rich of melody, melancholy, elegant, sadness and aesthetic. Tbh this song and Tarot Cards from the same album did blurred the line of pre-chorus, chorus and/or refrain and I do like this kind of arrangement because it feel just so smooth between the flow, like you can’t feel much transition much, but you do know this is the highlight part of a song. Yuju’s belt on the bridge is just cherry on top.

    Overall, 回:Song Of The Sirens is quite a solid album for me, being the 2nd highest total play on my playlist.
