The V app is pretty cool, RV had a good series that they just wrapped up. Recently Sunmi just streamed herself putting on makeup. 'Course I watched.

And here's RV now, calling Tae on the show.

Omgggggg @ Namjoo broadcast from 4 days ago. Tooooooo cute. And it seems Hyosung broadcasts every Friday? And soon there will be a Hyejeong stream then another Apinkeu stream followed immediately by Sunmi and Yubin? I think I'm gonna like this app.

U R and Farewell are zzz.

I can appreciate Taeyeon being able to showcase her talent and stretch outside the boundaries of SNSD's albums, but this mini isn't for me.

 

[Eldren]

Hyejeong's show is every Wednesday, you can watch every episode with subs on this channel which updates regularly. It's good stuff.

A full hour of Tae <333333333
Full V broadcast, better(?) quality.

Whatever the results on charts, Taeyeon put her heart on this mini, I'm sure she's the one who still got the final word about the featuring songs. That's what a solo should be. 9 fucking years, SM!
It's on Spotify if you are interested.

Another upbeat song as Stress should have been featured. The mini is not mind blowing or something extraordinary but overall I like it, well done Tae. Will be great hearing the songs live and with a band.
Good that 'I' had only a little of rapping.
Her voice is the main character on this album, so much that instrumental is almost under powering.
Lyrics:
I
U R
Gemini
Stress
Farewell

This is gonna sound mean, but for real... Hara's mini is better.

Shots fired. Will post my mean comments once I have a chance to listen to it.

 

[kiyomi]

Tae's is pretty uninspiring tbh.

 

[Pendulum]

Shots fired.

He's not wrong. And considering the hype, it certainly falls far short of last year's best minis from Sunmi and Yeeun. Jonghyun's certainly done the best SM solo stuff in a while (BoA aside of course)

 

[Niks]

haven't been able to properly listen to it

I preferred Godmin's mini.

 

[No No Eul]

(I haven't listened to it yet either.)

 

[Pendulum]

I preferred Godmin's mini.

I can respect that. He had the better single and the album was slick, but I just felt Jonghyun's album was better crafted.

Well I will say that Hara's mini is greatly helped by starting with one of the hottest tracks of the year (which finally converted me to full Youngji stan), but the rest of the album isn't so bad as people act. She knows what she can do and does it all the way, even if it isn't much for technical merit. In that, she shows more soul, even in the "lazy day wit my boo" style promo track. This sort of self awareness in the artistry is what makes Kara so pro. I feel like Taeyeon thinks she has something that she doesn't really, and so she's often trying to go places that she never reaches. That goes for TTS as well. The mini is half that sort of thing and half borrrrring stuff that reminds me of Christian contemporary.

Don't mean to create a war here, but "boring girl group member solo debut mini" only had so many popular entries to provide context for Taeyeon's offering.

 

[Fafnir]

Listening to Taeyeon's album, thought it was going to be some not my style ballad album but surprised me. I dig every song except "Farewell". Taengoo smoking cigs in "Stress" lol. Could do without that dude rapping in "I" tho.

 

[Pendulum]

that dude

 

[Peru]

"I" is a bit Younha. Seems like a good direction for Taeyeon.

yeah I really like every song, didnt like the rap at first its not that bad... if anything it should have been a full album... even 4 more tracks even.... but still I love it... farewell is my least fav as well but I like UR.... should have had at least one more upbeat track...cant wait to watch the MV 434523452345 times lol

 

[ramyeon]

I like Taeyeon's mini, not sure what all the backlash here is about or what people were expecting.

Looking good.
