The girls’ are back!
One of the biggest and greatest girl group in K-pop history is back and we are all beyond excited for their comeback.
Girls’ Generation made a nostalgic comeback with their 7th album, Forever 1 and everything from the outfits, the choreography and visuals was just so pleasing to experience, I literally have butterflies going berserk in my stomach right now.
The visual concept of the album was Cosmic Festa which I loved because it’s something only SNSD can pull off all so elegantly, the concept shows the girls in party mode but in some alternative party universe with glitter and confetti all around.
This concept was delivered perfectly as it goes hand in hand with the bubblegum, electronic dance sounds of the album, honestly it’s a girl’s dream.
The overall sound of the album had a 2010 K-pop dance tune to it which is something I love and expect from GG, it is a familiar sound that just makes you feel at home, familiar in a great comfy way, the 12 year old within me is losing her mind over this.
My favourite songs from this album are:
· Closer
· Villain
· Freedom
· Mood Lamp
· Paper plane ( the intro is 💫)
I can’t describe the exact feelings GG brought out with this project but I can vividly recall my elders getting excited when their favorite artists put something new out and I think this feeling comes close to that.
Girls’ Generation is one of those girl groups that give out the true essence of girl power and girl joy, they have a special place in my heart and youth.
I rate this album 8/10, it gives out a blissful feeling.
