After a painfully long hiatus of nearly two years, Girl’s Day is back to save the day (and their fans). As bold as they can be, they launched the album Everyday #5, which showcases their plucky spirit through sensual R&B tracks to the more traditional songs with a tang of dreaminess. Get ready to be awed by Girl’s Day’s skillfulness and versatility.
Track 1 – I’ll Be Yours
I’ll Be Yours is a frisky R&B swing number that blurs the lines between class and sass. Impactful piano chords hold the verses together, before other musical instruments join in and produce a full-out, dance-inducing chorus. What is so unique about this track is that these two parts of the song transition into each other without difficulty or awkwardness, and it’s a statement of feminine power.
Track 2 – Thirsty
Thirsty is a sensual summer track, however it does not contain much musical components to embellish it. That is not necessarily a bad thing; the cleanness is what is most impressive about the track. There is something effortless about the simplicity that imbues the vibes of a warm evening on a Californian beach.
Track 3 – Love Again
Love Again is an unassuming combination of reggae and rock with a relaxing atmosphere. What is amazing about Love Again is that it relies only on an electric guitar for the entire song, yet it is able to induce so many goosebumps. It is truly memorable, and brings the best out of Girl’s Day’s emotion.
Track 4 – Kumbaya (Come By Here)
Kumbaya (Come By Here), a Sojin solo, is a song of contrasts. Rapid piano phrases are placed beside Sojin’s poignant croons. These two ensure that the song is slow enough to express melancholy, while being quick enough to keep interest within listeners.
Track 5 – Truth
Truth, as compared to Kumbaya (Come By Here), is minimalistic and puts more emphasis on Minah’s magical voice. It’s a pleasant-sounding ballad that brings me deep into thought.
Track 6 – Don’t Be Shy
Don’t Be Shy has the experimental feel of the early days of Kpop, although the former is less sophisticated. It’s a jumble of sounds with no musical direction; a stark contrast to the easy-listening vibes of the rest of Everyday #5 and a disappointing closure.
