Twice - Fancy You

Release Date: April 22nd, 2019
Genre: kpop

It's blasphemy of me to think that I originally didn't like "Fancy" because the chorus was just "Fancyyyy youuuu." I think at the time, the korean language was just gibberish to me and it would annoy me when the chorus was just the English title being repeated like it was suppose to mean something. Nobody uses "fancy you" in every day conversations so I really dismissed the song as anything other than forced catchiness.

Review: As strange as this sounds, it wasn't until I saw a clip of Doja Cat reacting to "Fancy" that made me go back to it. I loved all their previous singles because it was very bright and cute, but Fancy felt like it was an attack. Hearing Doja say "itsabop" made me wonder if she was being polite or was this song actually good. My journey takes a few turns, but the journey ends with me feeling that "fancy" is one of their best songs, its addictive, and I don't understand which award show matters most, but it should have won song of the year for one of them.

"Stuck In My Head" sounds annoying, but when I watch fanvids of them in concert, this song is fun to hear in person, along with "Touchdown." I sometimes think it sounds like shit, but there's a redeeming quality it has as an fighting anthem. "Girls Like Us" is a Charli XCX song, so it sounds good. I hate the first few seconds of "Hot" because it reminds me of Bruno Mars, but the rest of the song is, well, hot. "Turn it Up" starts with (i think) sana's la la and then it erupts into this pulsing, action packed song. "Strawberry" is horny.

Tracklist/Scorecard:
1. Fancy 10/10
2. Stuck In My Head 8/10
3. Girls Like Us 8/10
4. Hot 9/10
5. Turn It Up 10/10
6. Strawberry 9/10

Summary: So yeah, the mini album that mark the change in Twice's songs, no more cutey stuff and this is more like, strong independent women?  I dont know, but its really confident.
