"@omona: LOL SEOHYUN SAID TIFFANY WAS THE LEAD STYLIST OF THE MV. and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say she created the whole look."

 

Tiffany put together almost all of the MV concepts herself. The members chose the tracks too. So #Holler = TTS"

 

"Stay" was recorded in the summer. Tiffany was worried that it might sound sad during the Autumn. Seohyun said the song was asking the happy memories of Summer to "stay". Fany hopes we can listen to it all year long whenever we miss Summer.

"@SoshifyMe: Oh and I think taeyeon was saying her favourite song of the album is Whisper cause it's more of an acoustic song #Holler #태티서"

Aaaaaaaaaahh Yeaaaaaaaaaaaah   Finally i've been able to listen to the songs. (been working all day :( )

 

It's sooooooooooooo good!! I already love Holler! So addicting and catchy! 

[Taemi]

OK. So I finally find time to really listen to Holler EP. Earlier, I was in a hurry and couldn't listen to it proberly. Then, I haven't been really impressed by anything. But now that I can quietly listen to it... It is on repeat and I really love it... I REALLY LOVE IT !!!

 

I loved Twinkle EP so I was a afraid to be disappointed...

 

And it's definitely very different from Twinkle. It's less "public friendly" because the sound is more modern. It hasn't any retro sound anymore so I can understand the public lukewarm response. They are surprise by the sound. A part of the older audience like retro sound better.

 

But I like the turn the Girls took.  It's modern and mature. But before all, it really suits them. I can see that they are more involved and  love it better that some SNSD releases.

 

I really anticipate the live to make it even better.

TaeTiSeo - "Holler" Album Review
Liam Smith
 

 
I didn’t really notice it at the time but TaeTiSeo were not as well received by Girls’ Generation fans as I thought back in 2012.  While their debut EP ‘Twinkle’ went on to be a huge success, some fans were disappointed with the direction in sound and sub-unit members.  
Fast forward two years and TaeTiSeo are back with their second mini and I certainly think this EP will change the minds of some of those skeptical.  The EP ‘Holler’ was released digitally today around the world and will be released physically on Friday.
The album opens with the title track and lead single ‘Holler’.  Based on the 30 seconds clips, it sounded like Holler was going to be in similar vein to Twinkle.  But SM teasers are always quite misleading and Holler is NOTHING like Twinkle.  Saying that, it does feel like a natural progression - going from the 60’s jazz of Twinkle to the glitz of the 90’s.  Holler has a bit of a 90’s vibe with the siren effects, it really reminds me of the pop of the late 90’s while also still sounding current.
‘Adrenaline' continues on the 90's/early noughties pop sound with a thumbing beat and clap track which is just ridiculously catchy.  The chorus is absolutely killer - the hook absolutely ingrains itself in your head, you'll be singing it for days.  The girls sound exquisite here and I really like the harmonies in the middle-eight.  This should have been the lead single in my opinion.  
‘Whisper' is the buzz track for this album, released on the 13th September and I bloody love it!  I'm a bit of a sucker for 90's throwback R&B and the girls just absolutely kill it here.  The girls voices sound smooth and silky here, over the slick production.  Just heaven.
‘Stay' is the most 'Girls Generation' sounding on the EP, it wouldn't have sounded out of place on the Mr Mr album.  It's a really funky 80's synth pop song.  I really like the rap in the second verse but I think this song would have suited SNSD instead of TTS.  I think HyoYeon would have slayed the rap and the chorus would have really soared being sung by all 9 members.
‘Only You' is the weakest track on the album for me.  It's a mid-tempo ballad which has a hint of R&B to it.  It's a really lovely song that was co-written by SeoHyun.  It's nice.  It fits the flow of the album but I'm not sure if I would listen to this much outside of the album.
The closing track ‘EYES' is in my opinion, one of the best songs either TTS and Girls' Generation have done.  I don't really know how to describe it, but there is something about the production and melody of this song that just pulls me in.  I really like it when the girls sing in a higher register and their voices are really pushed here.  They sound exquisite.  You can tell that the Ariana Grande song 'Problem' has had an influence on the production but once you get past that, you just fall in love with this song.  I've listened to this song the most from this EP. The song ends so abruptly that you just have to play it again.  And again and again and again. A  fantastic way to close the album.
Is this album better thank Twinkle?  Absolutely.  Twinkle was a strong cohesive album that was rooted in 60’s influenced pop and jazz.  Holler ramps it up tremendously, taking influence from the best of the 90’s to give us a glitzy package of pure pop that you’ll have on repeat for weeks - if not months.  TaeTiSeo have managed to pull off a strong, cohesive second album which is surely going to pull in fans who aren’t so keen on sub-units.

Girls' Generation-TTS on Why New 'Holler' EP Represents Their 'Mind, Body and Soul'

By Jeff Benjamin | September 16, 2014 6:51 PM EDT

 

Girls' Generation-TTS (TaeTiSeo)

S.M. Entertainment Co., Ltd.

 

 

The trio get deep on their new video, how they differ from their band mates and why the 'Rihanna, Ciara-type' record is them at their most raw.

 

 

 

In early 2012, Girls' Generation-TTS made Billboard chart history when their Twinkle EP became the highest-charting K-pop album ever. The splinter trio of K-pop phenoms Girls' Generation held that record for nearly two years and today returns with their new EP Holler.

Holding their first interview about the project with Billboard, the girls say the stakes for this album are higher not only from their successful chart run, but because, this time, it's personal. In a hotel cafe in New York's meatpacking district the day after hitting the Polo Ralph Lauren show for Fashion Week, Taeyeon, Tiffany and Seohyun speak excitedly, and candidly, about their new effort focusing on how they made a "vocally entertaining" record that showcases "a much more raw side of our music."

One listen to the EP's title track certainly encompasses the former aspect, a brassy, sassy track centered around a chorus of high notes that most mortals can't hit. "It's a more mature version of [2012 single]

says Los Angeles-native Tiffany, who also translated for her bandmates. But as the EP moves on, it's clear the entire record is the result of a group maturation, most notably in the sensual, synthy R&B jam "Whisper," Taeyeon's favorite track (but more on that later).

 

Get deep with the TTS gals below in Billboard's exclusive Q&A.

BILLBOARD: How does Holler differ from your past albums?

TIFFANY: This album was really fun to put together because the songs were handpicked by all the members. So, we have the A&R sit down, give us a bunch songs and we go, 'No...no...we want this one! We want this!' From the video to the styling to the tracks, this album was really personal for us and it was fun for us to put out a much more raw side of our music. Rather than saying something, everything sounds cooler in a song, so it's finally time to say, "Hey, we've done that. We've been there." We hope that we can kind of express that.

All the other Girls' Generation songs were more, I think, cutesy and more energetic....Whereas the music we put together has so much more layers, so much more depth to it in terms of sound, choruses or harmonizing together.

Can you tell us more about some of the tracks? Which are your favorites?

SEOHYUN: ["Only U"] is a ballad piece with a lot of piano [that I wrote]. The lyrics are about the sincerity of love, about a true love. That you fall in love many times, but there's always going to be that special someone you won't forget. And that I want to find that special someone, out of all those people you have to meet through, and keep them in my life forever.

TIFFANY: Personally, I found "Only U" to be very romantic, very hopeful and very inspirational song. The cool part about the lyrics is about that she went on a trip to the Swiss Alps and was writing on the Alps. She told me, "It was so inspiring and the scenery was so beautiful and I was so relaxed." It's weird that she gets to go on trips alone.

SEOHYUN: I was listening to the music as I was going up on the lift and I thought, "I know what I'm going to write."

 

TAEYEON: My favorite song is 'Whisper' because it's a type of song we've never done before. It's really laid-back, but it still has that strong beat. It's a lot more sensual than our original music. That is the new side of Girls' Generation/TTS. It can actually be a trademark track to the TTS album. It's a lot more mature, it's very sexy. The first time we heard it, we were like, "Ooh, this one's going on!"

TIFFANY: I get a lot of Rihanna, Ciara-type of vibes from the song. We were careful [in song selection]. Literally, we said, "If it sounds too cutesy, we don't want it."

 

What can you tell us about your music videos? Is more than one planned?

TIFFANY: One for now, hopefully we'll get the chance to put new song material together too. We've been prepping this song together, especially "Holler," since late March/early April. We had so many different inspirations and seasonal looks to this song -- we have the spring version, the summer version -- and then it finally got decided for the fall season. So, we went for the S/W colors. There were a lot of ups and downs throughout the project, but we got it perfectly done. We're very satisfied.

The video has 10 different outfits -- we wanted to beat "Twinkle," that was two-and-a-half years ago, so we wanted it to be a lot more sophisticated. It was very J.Lo-inspired.

And I finally have my name on an album: I was visual director. I'm proud to say that it wasn't about me, or any specific member, being happy with the looks. It was like, 'So, do you like it?' and they'd go, "Eh..." or "Yeah!" So it was really exciting. And the girls got to choose what kind of patterns and what kind of cutouts they wanted to use in their outfits. I threw out the theme, but it was pretty much all them too.

 

Twinkle held the Billboard 200 record for nearly two years. Do you feel pressure to follow up with something bigger?

SEOHYUN: I just got goose bumps...of course there's a kind of worry. All those high expectations are kind of what motivated me and grounded me to making better music. Instead of being perfectly dolled up, I was happy I could choose the music wisely. I'll be thankful for people wanting to listen instead of just watching.

What's the ultimate takeaway you'd like fans and listeners to leave with?

TIFFANY: I think Girls' Generation was so much more visually entertaining. It had a lot of theatrical themes to it, we had a lot of conceptual outfits and the songs were very seasonal. This will be for all the seasons, for all the looks. Our main goal was to not be visually entertaining, but be vocally entertaining. You can listen to it and still be so entertained, so energized and so inspired. With Girls' Generation, you need to see the costumes, the shoes, everything put together. Whereas you can just listen to the [Holler] material and go 'Wow, this is so fun.' So, a vocally-entertaining, vocally-empowering album.

S.M. Entertainment Co., Ltd.

Compared to Girls' Generation, is there a different mindset between the three of you?

TIFFANY: We're the perfectionists towards music and practicing, I'd have to say....we want to get it down perfectly. With putting the album together, planning out the promotions like what magazines, what interviews, what performances we want to stage together, I'd have to say the focus level is way higher. Girls' Generation together, there's the whole teamwork and energy going on.

TAEYEON: Throughout the seven to eight years, we've been doing Girls' Generation and that type of performance visual and sound. It's finally time for us to the let the fans to trust us with what we've decided to put out in terms of music or looks. It doesn't have to be super-staged, I'm happy that it can be very raw. We can finally say, "Hey, this is what we want to show you. We know you'll like it, so trust us, have a listen and look at what we've brought for you."

And are you having fun filming your reality show, The TaeTiSeo?

SEOHYUN: Throughout the years, everybody's only seen the perfectly staged Girls' Generation performances. This time we get to show you step-by-step how we put a recording, choreography, album art or music video together. We get to show our professorial side, but we get to show our silly, normal side; the normal Taeyeon, what she would do at a candy store. When she gets tired, she can say that. The fact that we can be so free in terms of expressing ourselves is what I'm looking forward to our fans seeing most.

 

TIFFANY: We're actually putting together a behind-the-scenes video for this comeback. We were luckily partnered up with [Korean beauty and lifestyle] channel OnStyle [for the show] and I wanted it to kind of make this into an MTV Diary throwback and that's exactly what this is going to be: the MTV Diary throwback, plus the Korean fashion and beauty introduction and everyday life.

Any last words about this album or to your fans?

TAEYEON: Even though fans are around the world and we don't necessarily see or hear them because they come from different languages or cultures, I want to be able to reach you with music. I want you to share the feeling we get from making the music and share that experience.

SEOHYUN: It's been over two and a half years since the last album, we've experienced not only a lot of growth musically, but personally. We want to convey that maturation and experience to fans and give them that story.

TIFFANY: This album is just the mind, body and soul of all three of us. Not that I haven't been proud of past albums, but this album is something we are so proud of and so satisfied with. It's so right now. The fashion is very now, the music is very now. But it also captured [our ages] 25 and 23. I'm excited to be able to leave this down as kind of like a memoir or yearbook. I just hope the fans will be just as excited and open towards us growing up.

Oooh comeback thread. Didn't see this.

 

I was going to post this super mini review in another thread, but it's dead now, so...

 

 

As a non-fan of SNSD, I'm in love with this album. I've had it on repeat since release. The 90's throwback is giving me all kinds of life. I don't feel much like going into detail, but if I had to comment on each of the songs:

 

Holler - Solid track, perhaps not the most exciting on the album, but it is still enjoyable. It does improve as it progresses.

 

Adrenaline - Probably my favorite, the chorus is absolutely perfect for me. As an f(x) stan, it could be more of my choice of music (as EverlastingBlackjack pointed out the similarity), but it still doesn't sound that experimental at all to me. I can't place my finger on what it reminds me of...

 

Whisper - I didn't like this song when it was pre-released, but I have to say that, after the more upbeat Holler and Adrenaline, this is a really nice little pop ballad that I've grown to like a lot.

 

Stay - My favorite after Adrenaline. Retro, upbeat, summery, and nice vocals. I don't even mind the dubstep, heh.

 

Only U - I like this about as much as whisper. Not usually a fan of SM ballads, so this one doesn't stick out much, but it's still pleasant and not so boring that I'd rather skip it. Again, nice between upbeats songs.

 

Eyes - Well, this sounds a lot like Problem, but I much prefer TTS's vocals and the instrumental here, so Eyes >>>>

 

 

Can't wait to see the Adrenaline performance sometime in HD.    Even if I don't follow SNSD, I'll gladly anticipate TTS's releases. With both Twinkle and Holler we have solid vocalists, solid tracks, and an overall quality package. I like.

So what outfit do you think or would like them to wear tomorrow for the first comeback stage of Holler?

 

I'm for the yellow one. I think it's the best for a first performance even if I find some more beautiful, I find this one the most appropriate for a first.

 

What's your thought?
