#ITZY's comeback has been ... less than exciting for me. The teaser for #CAKE is ... too tiny to get a feel for but there is so much hype over it being produced by Black Eyed Pilseung who is famous for a bunch of #TWICE epicness.
I dunno ... I become less and less interested in Kpop groups the more English they spout and ITZY is pushing hard on English songs. I really don't care for Kpop once it's in English ... then it simply becomes tepid pop

Cake is like the bubble gum pop from the late 80's/early 90's. I'm not sure if they are trying to emulate BPs Ice Cream with Selena but just from the snippets I've heard of Cake, it really sounds cheesy.
I don't understand Korean at all, but I love Kpop and I somewhat agree. Too much English in the song ruins it. Well, I do really like Rose's "on the ground" and "gone". But that may actually be the exception... and both of those could definitely be... POP
@Tarqueth Rose was born and raised in New Zealand and is bilingual so she can speak English all she wants and I don't find that strange.
I'm speaking mainly of the push in KEnt to get all the idols to speak English because there is still this obsession with "making it" overseas like BTS or NCT or whatever. BTS was much more interesting and their music was better before they became what they are now - even they think so.
But a lot of Kpop goes retro or city pop feel with summer releases.
@Tarqueth The mini album KILL MY DOUBT has already had two releases (out of a total of 6 songs) with MVs ... "None of My Business” and “BET ON ME" .. neither is very good ... and soon CAKE.
Album spoiler here:

Damn... Kill Shot is the only one that even sounded like it has any promise to it.
@Tarqueth Sad aint it ... I haven't been enjoying much of their stuff since 2021 to be honest.
@thewebrecluse
I'm curious what the rest of the album will sound like...
