Yena - Smiley

Release Date: January 17, 2022

Awesome, I gave this a listen back when it first came out, so my opinion on this ep has really solidified. It's good, probably my favorite ep of all the post-Iz*One music.

Review: the opening track is very soft and twinkly. Then the title track is super happy and cheerful. I wish Yena had rapped, it took me a while to warm up to Bibi's mumble rap, but it grow on me. "Pretty Boys" has an addicting "di di da da" sound. I think it's the most memorable. As for the other 2 songs, Lxxk 2 U and Vacay, i feel like they were two songs on autopilot, but in the best way for Yena. I probably would rank Vacay slightly above Lxxk 2 U.

Summary: Yena is so good, the all-rounder. ep did not disappoint.

Favorite Song: Smiley, Pretty Boys
Rating: 8/10
