"Version up" The EP review

     

         "Version up" is an EP from the new girl group ARTMS. The group consists of 5 members Heejin, Hasuel, Kim Lip, Jinsoul, and, Choery. These five girls are former members of the girl group LOONA under Blockberry Creative. In early 2023 the group LOONA filed a lawsuit against their parent company (Blockberry Creative) and won. This resulted in a contract termination of the group. Five of the girls later sign a new contract from Modhaus a company under Jaden Jeong (The creator of loona). Now after a long wait, ARTMS is here with ODD EYE CIRCLE (the subunit) taking the world by storm.

         "Version Up" is comprised of 6 tracks. Let's review them one by one.

Did you wait? (The intro)

After the lawsuit has settled down the sub-unit ODD EYE CIRCLE (Formally named LOONA/ODD EYE CIRCLE) is back. In July the label Modhaus dropped this EP. This track is an intro to the EP. The track sampled various loona songs such as Sweet Crazy Love, Girl Front and Loonatic. But this time it features a new beat. Essentially, telling us that the new era for ODD EYE CIRCLE is beginning.

Air Force One (Title track)

The track Air Force One serves as a title track. It has a new impression and message. The meaning of the lyrics is about leaving your old self to embrace a new era. This is implied by the use of high heels and sneaker imagery. 

Je Ne Sais Quoi

This track encapsulates the essence of the word irresistible attraction and anticipation. It did quite a wonderful job telling the story by repeating the phrase Je Ne Sais Quoi meaning something enigmatic or unexplainable.

Lucid

As a track, Lucid explores the realm of anticipation much like Je Ne Sais Quoi but this time the track is more dreamy. As its title suggests, it is quite lucid. Personally, I think both Lucid and Je Ne Sais Quoi have a naughty almost lustful tone. Which makes me like them a little bit more as a concept.

Love me like

The track itself is a love song about the tingling sensation and warm feelings of love. However, it also portrays the sad side of love like the anxiety and the fearfulness. Given its subtle lyrics and relaxing beat, I couldn't help but get lost in its charming allure.

My Secret Playlist

As the ending track, My Secret Playlist takes us back to the LOONA date of ODD EYE CIRCLE. It serves as a tribute the the old group. But also the beginning of something new for the girls.

After listening to "Version Up" I am nothing short of excited for what the future holds for ARTMS or any other group from LOONA.

ODD EYE CIRCLE <Version Up> - Album Review

There’s no word that describes how eagerly I have been anticipating this EP. I don’t believe I talk quite enough about LOONA in my reviews. That’s sarcastic, of course. I probably mention them at least once per review, as they are my ult group and have incredible music. With all of the members being recently freed from their unfair contracts with Blockberry Creative, five of them including the OEC squad (Jinsoul, Kim Lip, Choerry) have joined Jaden Jeong’s new label MODHAUS. While no music from the full 5-piece girl group ARTMS has been released yet, Odd Eye Circle has come out with a new EP. It will be interesting to see the JJ sound continue into the modern era of LOONA, and to see if their sound resembles the 2017 Mix & Match or has changed. I’ll listen to each of them three times and rate them afterwards. Keep in mind that a five on my scale represents neither like or dislike.

Did You Wait? - 6.5

Yes. Yes I did wait. It’s surprising to me that all of the clips of Blockberry-published OEC songs haven’t been copyright claimed. Let’s hope it stays that way. As for the intro itself, the synth is uncannily similar to the one in Chaotic and Starlight on the 2017 EP. It brings a modern twist to it though that makes me anxious to hear what the title track will have to do with it.

Air Force One - 9.5

This song embodies the direction that K-pop has been dying to follow for a long time now. Groups like NewJeans and STAYC have started to move the girl crush sound to a more “lo-fi” and minimalistic sound. The whole first verse has this very soft feeling to it that’s reminiscent of that. The chorus is very fun and addictive and the crunchy, silvery vocal processing is fascinating. The hook feels like it’s keeping you on your toes. On the other hand, the breakdown is absolutely chilling, maximizing that vocal effect and drawing out the rich synth pads to create a simultaneously beautiful and terrifying ambiance. When the chorus comes back around, it seems to have more meaning and the synths hit way harder. Very well done track.

Je Ne Sais Quoi - 5

The introductory few seconds of this song make it seem almost like a lo-fi hiphop song, but when the beat comes in it becomes clear that this song actually has more of a relaxed dance music feel. I don’t love what’s been done with the vocals on this track. The processing on their voices is a little over the top and reminds me of some of what I didn’t like from tripleS’s vocals. The beat feels somewhat squashed and garbled unfortunately. I think it has the potential to feel much larger than it does, but because of those factors coupled with my general dislike for the melodic content, it’s certainly not my favorite song but also has elements to it that I like.

Lucid - 7

This is the 1000th song I’ve seen with Lucid in the name, I swear. Ooh, so soft and comforting at the beginning though. It has a lilting flow that makes it auditorily resemble the slowly rising and falling waves of a calm ocean in the morning. The vocals in the refrain have the same sort of rising and falling sound, and the way they drop lower reminds me of Zero (NewJeans) which is a very rare thing to do in a pop song. The vocals themselves aren’t done quite as I would look for similarly to Je Ne Sais Quoi though. As more elements enter, it becomes more bouncy but stays very peaceful. A little more variation musically could help this song be even better.

Love Me Like - 4.5

With the addition of this song, it’s becoming clear that this album generally has a repetitive chill dance vibe featured in all of the songs so far. This one is interesting but the beat feels a little garbled like the previous couple songs. It’s much more upbeat however, with more of a R&B and disco fusion beat. It can get pretty boring, that would be my main critique. More depth would be helpful, certainly.

My Secret Playlist - 4.5

This one feels much more like classic early LOONA. The sound is generally more spacious and wide. It reminds me particularly of LOONA 1/3's stuff. The actual songwriting is pretty dry though, and the chorus is very disappointing. It could definitely be worse though. That’s basically all I have to say. It’s fine.

Final Thoughts

This EP is a very big deal for LOONA, a symbol of progress and freedom from BBC. I personally feel that the songwriting and production on basically every song feels pretty half-assed. I think that Lucid with its ocean-like production and the terrifying and fascinating Air Force One are definitely the two with the most thought and effort in them. I don’t see much in Je Ne Sais Quoi, unlike many other fans. Despite the meaning of this, I didn’t love the content itself. I give this album an overall score of 5 for that reason, with my favorite song being Air Force One. I’m really hoping for good things in the future of LOONA, ARTMS, and other affiliated groups. We’re just going to have to hold out and hope that JJ pulls it together a bit. Thanks for reading!

LOONA SUBUNITS & SOLO RANKING

[ july 2023 - october 2023]

I don't talk a lot about my girls sooo, since I finally had the time to really listen to all the singles & albums out, I decided to make a little ranking of the whole thing. I have to say that, even if some are ranked 'low', I still listen to every of these songs once in a while with lot of pride filling my heart. I'm glad they are still able to shine despite every that happened.

12 pages on a calendar, a full cycle As the fourth season turned After circling you for so long The moment I finally face you Shining brighter than ever before

23 - Sensitive (ENG VER) by Loossemble : like 'Star/Voice', in my ears this song is totally different from the korean one except that this time I really have a hard time with the english translation of this one. This is the only reason I put it so low.

22 - Air Force One by Odd Eye Circle : I was obsessed with the MV but that's it. The song stay in my mind but slip away as fast as it came. Love the different effects they put on their voice during the prechorus tho.

21 - Hitchiker by CHUU : It suits Chuu so much but I'm not a fan of the chorus.

20 - Strawberry Soda by Loossemble

19 - Sensitive by Loossemble : Before the solos of Chuu & HeeJin, it was my fav title track but now I listen to it not as much.

18 - Howl by CHUU : The only reason it is this low is because I saw the teasers for it and I thought it was going to be a song with a 'Halloween' vibe. But now it has grown on me quite a bit.

17 - Lucid by Odd Eye Circle

16 - Algorithm by HeeJin

15 - Plastic Candy by HaSeul : I listen to it when I'm in the right mood so since right now it fit how I feel it is quite high but it might drop a little later.

14 - Newtopia by Loossemble

13 - Je Ne Sais Quoi by Odd Eye Circle : At first I really didn't like it and I don't know since when I started to listen to it more but here we are I guess.

12 - Addiction by HeeJin :

11 - Sad Girl Club by HeeJin : These two songs could have been a tie but right now I listen to Sad Girl Club more.

10 - Colouring by Loossemble

9 - My Secret Playlist by Odd Eye Circle : This song remind so much of OEC first album I love it.

8 - Real World by Loossemble : I remember the two first things I thought when I heard this song : one 'it goes with their voices so well' and two 'it sounds like a Red Velvet's song and I love it'. I remember some producers working on this album also worked with Red Velvet and Oh My Girl(?), if I'm not mistaken and I can definitely see their styles in this album.

7 - My Palace by CHUU

6 - Love Me Like by Odd Eye Circle

5 - Underwater by CHUU : I honestly think this song should have been a single the summer. It fits the summer vibe so much more than the autumn one.

🎖️ - Day by Day by Loossemble 🥉 - Nokia by HeeJin 🥈 - Aliens by CHUU 🥇 - Video Games by HeeJin

By this ranking, I think you can see that my favourite album is 'K' by HeeJin. But for the least favourite it's not as simple. Despite the fact that a lot of OEC's songs are high in the ranking, their album has a whole is my least favourite to listen to. However, their album intro is my favourite? Weird I know.

Thank you for reading this silly ranking till the end! What is your ranking so far? I will also host a tournament on this blog (loonatournament) to know which release so far is the Number 1 for Orbits. Just for fun so don't hesitate to vote!

dalso dalso kaja! ✨
