ITZY - 마.피.아. In the morning

 Release Date: April 30th, 2021

"shhhhhhh"

I mostly pay attention to girl groups and I was beginning to be desensitize to the 80s retro pop sounds found on Dua Lipa's albums, and we heard it last year on April's, Everglow's, and Twice's Comeback. I like the members of Itzy and although I prefer their catchy songs, I was pleasantly surprise that this was the direction they were going. For "Not Shy," I remember feeling that it was so in-your-face annoying.

With this new song, I want to say it feels more sinister or has a hysterical feeling to it. Like the girls have a badass edge to them and I can feel their dominatrix side oozing out. I am happy that they are sticking to using mostly korean words in their songs. It simply just sounds better. Anyways, as a title track, it works, it made me a believer. Also, Yuna's "you are gonna love me" is so cool.

Rating: 8/10
