As an off-the-cuff observer, it may be troublesome to recollect the place all of the LOONA members ended up after the group’s dissolution. Some turned Loossemble whereas others shaped ARTMS. Yves joined neither, although she did have a hand in tune composition for Loossemble. As an alternative, she’s launched into her personal with a brand new label and new sound. Loop affords the primary glimpse of her profession as a post-LOONA soloist.
This tune wouldn’t be misplaced on a LOONA album — or any of the group’s progenies, for that matter. It’s tremendous fashionable and atmospheric, pulsing on a modern dance beat underlined by fashionable percussion. It’s fitful and aloof, by no means giving in to the total excesses of dance music. Even when the beat expands through the refrain, the tune performs issues cool with an unbothered “ooh ooh ooh” hook. The rhythmic pre-chorus is extra memorable, although the manufacturing strips too far again for my style.
Rapper Lil Cherry affords a blast of firepower halfway by way of the monitor, contrasting with Yves’s ethereal efficiency. The 2 voices work properly collectively, making me want that they had a extra compelling tune to play with. When it comes all the way down to it, Loop is simply too empty to stay in reminiscence. It feels extra like background music at an H&M retailer than a career-setting spotlight.
