Iz*One - One-reeler / Act IV

Release Date: December 7, 2020
Genre: kpop

This album came out in December, a time where people like me are finalizing their "year end" list. I knew Bloom*Iz was an important album for me so I didn't want my opinion to devalue in case this album made it worst.

Review: So the first song is alright. "Panarama" is good the more you listen to it. ring my bell. "Island" took some time to grow on me because it's by the same producers who did "Up" and I don't think it's as memorable as the previous, but the instrumentals are bright and sunny and it doesn't annoy me as it should have. At first, I thought "Sequence" was "Highlight" but I think it's actually better. Plus the dance is so cool. Then with "O Sole Mio," I was initially turned off because it sounded like a rehash of "Rumor" from their produce 48 days, but just from ear, I can hear Hitomi's part, Yena's growl, Yuri's high notes, and because I'm a fan of hearing all their voices together, I just like hearing them mesh together in one song. The last song is a soft one, and it grew on me "slowly slowly."

Tracklist/Scorecard:
1. Mise-en-Scène 7/10
