The situation
Heart Of Woman released a performance video for their song Close To Me, which is part of their debut album. The song is a slow burn track intended to showcase the group's vocals, but it fails to leave a lasting impression. The album itself has been met with lukewarm reception, with only a few tracks standing out, such as the title track and Told U So.
What the internet did with it
- Netizens on Theqoo seemed unbothered by the release, with one commenter stating — "it's a nice song but it doesn't really stick with me" and the room overall being rather *답답해* (feeling stifled or unimpressed) about the whole thing.
- A fact that reframes the story is that the album's best tracks, such as Told U So and SHOW H.O.W., have been well-received, but Close To Me falls flat in comparison, with a rating of 7.25 and a grade of C.
- One commenter noted that despite the album's unevenness, it's still been on repeat for them, suggesting that Heart Of Woman has potential, but needs to work on consistency.
The open question
The question remains whether Heart Of Woman can build on the momentum of their stronger tracks and create a more cohesive, engaging sound in their future releases, or if they'll continue to produce middling songs like Close To Me. The group's ability to showcase their vocals is undeniable, but it's unclear if they can translate that into a compelling, *사이다* (refreshing and impactful) discography.
