Nocturnal Owl 19 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I love Lovelyz to death, but when looking back at their music library, especially title songs, I [personally] think they kinda lack something, maybe a true bop that makes them fly higher. Look at Gfriend and Oh My Girl. Gfriend is already much more popular than Lovelyz, even though they are on the same level when it comes to beauty and talents. Oh My Girl might have smaller fandom than both but they are getting bigger. Call me dumb but every time I look at Lovelyz's Youtube views, I feel sad for them :( Ah Choo and Destiny were great, but for some reason I feel they lacked something that Rough and Closer had... Not a war post by any means. Just wanna tell you guys what I thought..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamaraqua 4,293 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 The masses like fun, more uplifting music. It's fine if your biases don't fit into that as long as /you're/ happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GetRapper 6,139 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 They have amazing songs on their albums, they need another hit like Ah-Choo though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttered Sone 5,552 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Their music is too complex, not your average hook song that everyone can enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonsungies 115 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I think Lovelyz has a good standard of quality for all of their songs but their title tracks lack a distinct catchiness to them you know? Gfriends song have a distinct melody progression to them and like Twice's title songs are always filled with catchy hooks that make you sing the song out of nowhere. With lovelyz the song production is great but its really soft and kind of makes for better background listening atm. I'd love to see Lovelyz prosper because they are all so gorgeous and I think if their songs would be just a tiny bit catchier they could really take off. WoW! is my favorite title track atm.

Climbing Class 32 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Ah choo and Destiny were really good but they have been releasing generic stuff ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-kitsune 3,367 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Ah Choo and Destiny were great, but for some reason I feel they lacked something that Rough and Closer had... I don't think Ah choo/Destiny and Closer is a good comparison considering both comebacks were more successful than Closer. To answer the topic, I think Lovelyz are given very "safe" material to work with and don't deviate too far from that understated, if pleasant, tone in their work. They are doing a lot better than plenty of groups though. There are plenty of unpopular groups that release bops so the recipe for success doesn't just lie in actual songs.

eternal glow 6,196 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I'm not sure what it is exactly to explain their level of popularity but I really like a lot of their music. Their music is nice and sweet and just really pleasant to listen to. Idk why That Day wasn't a lot bigger. I thought it was going to be a hit tbh.

tide 14,243 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 well lovelyz is doing fine in Korea (right under the big 5) they just lack the 'cool factor' ifans like. but that's okay since they have good music, cute members, and high popularity.

HoneyPopCupcake 2,421 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 That Day was catchy and nostalgic. Maybe they need something different, more upbeat. They're super talented and a visual group and I think with the songs they have they deserve better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocturnal Owl 19 Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Their music is too complex, not your average hook song that everyone can enjoy In what way do you think their music is too complex? because in my opinion it's not. It's just different in style than other groups'. I think Lovelyz has a good standard of quality for all of their songs but their title tracks lack a distinct catchiness to them you know? Gfriends song have a distinct melody progression to them and like Twice's title songs are always filled with catchy hooks that make you sing the song out of nowhere.

I'd love to see Lovelyz prosper because they are all so gorgeous and I think if their songs would be just a tiny bit catchier they could really take off. WoW! is my favorite title track atm.

With lovelyz the song production is great but its really soft and kind of makes for better background listening atm. I know what you mean. I can put on headphones and listen to a Lovelyz song such as "Doll" for hours on end because there are so many little interesting things going on in the song. The problem is that many (most?) Lovelyz songs don't have the big hooks that grab one's attention the first time they're played. One needs to put in the time for repeated listenings. On the other hand, the title tracks from Twice and Gfriend are usually noticeable the first time they're played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Dawn 771 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Their music is too complex, not your average hook song that everyone can enjoy Good point. Now that you mentioned it I also think the same. I'm no expert but feel like Lovelyz's music (especially intrumentals) sounds kinda complex compared to others. I might make a topic asking folks to see what they think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveInUs 452 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Lovelyz have a stable fandom, but they lost some public recognition. They also have a really weak international fandom compared to most other ggs. Their music is really unique, but I admit that some of their songs lack something. They were one of the biggest rookies in 2014/2015 and let’s not forget tgeir biggest hit Ah-Choo which is known by basically everyone in SK. Destiny was also hyped, but unfortunately, Cheer Up happened. They didn’t have any other comeback in 2016, but their first 2017 comeback was anticipated a lot. Woollim promoted them quite well during WoW, but the problem was the song itself. WoW was such a downgrade from Lovelyz music. The other songs were well received, but weren’t promoted well. That Day had really positive reputation, but the competitors were stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only they chose one of the B-side to be title track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
