This picture looks so cozy and warm. I feel that all the girl groups that debut in 2015 look sweet friendly and seem to be going for a concept that is more closer to home in terms of femininity and girl-next-door. Lets just home they kept circling around this concept and not plunge into the sexy concept. 

Enough of that! let us move on to today's topic in this post my Girlfriend and your girlfriend and every bodies girlfriend wannabe GFRIEND!


And one more reason to celebrate, they have named their fandom - "BUDDY"
 yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey! 



How Cute! Buddy is by far the most cutest name you can give a fan.

Moving on!

These girl group of six “GFRIEND” have been capturing the hearts of many with their pure and innocent image and now the girls are continuing on with the innocent image in their 3rd Mini Album 'SNOWFLAKE'. The album has a total of six songs excluding the instrumental. The six songs being “Snowflake” (The Intro), “Rough”, “Say My Name”, “Luv Star”, “Someday” and “Trust”.  so lets get cracking!



The intro song is short and sweet but effective as it endorses what these girls are known for – Innocence. The song has a layers and layers of overlapping music score which makes me feel as if I am in some Disney fairy movie or some fantasy film where I am about to venture into war. 



This was how I looked as I was listening to this one minute or more song... you can say that I was completely mesmerized by this intro eh? Got to hand it to the guy that composed this song... 

The title track of the album “Rough” talks about a girl wanting or wishing that she could be more mature or in the song’s essence “grow up” so that she can stand up for what she feels and likes. The song talks about wanting to confront a special someone but hesitating because they are young. An indecisive youth, you can say.

 though it maybe, it seems to work wonder with this group as they prove time and again that even the littlest things have an equal or higher importance in life. Very moving.... 

The music video shows the girls donning school costumes and going along their separate individual path before coming together at the end of the music video. GFRIEND has outdone itself with their near perfect timing and synchronized twirling routines. The music video is soft and tries to put in or showcase the girl’s pure image as much as possible. So much twirling and swaying... so cute..



The third song is “Say My Name” which starts off with a funky tune infused rock melody. The song is upbeat and groove worthy. “Say My Name” as the name of the song suggests, the girls ask that you call out to them. The song has a melody that changes as it reaches the bridge as goes on to the chorus. “Say My Name” although the song is different there are certain elements in the song that resemble the other songs done by this group.

The next song in the album is “Luv Star”. The song starts with a bit of a skit at first which is adorable to listen to. The girls seem to make a wish upon a star which if you had guessed by the title of the song is about their love. The song has an easy beat line to it. “Luv Star” has a more dream like vibe to it, be it the lyrics, the way it is sung or the musical accompaniment. The song is simple and cute and is worth listening to.



“Someday” is a mellowed down version of all of their pepped up melody. The song is filled with hope bound to sweep off all those blues. The song has a clap like beat which makes this very retro like. I am trying to write more but I just cant..... sad all the songs feel repetitive for some reason. I wish they can try something different in terms of musicality... 

“Trust” is a moving ballad. All things slow down as the girls sing in a story telling like fashion. The song’s really showcases each girl’s distinct voice as the melodies and instruments taken the back seat. This song can easily make it onto one’s favourite’s list with is slow rhythm and swaying melody and dream like vocals. “Trust” is a must listen to in this album! I like this song and you should really try listening to it...

To end, the album overall is simple and that cause the album to lack, aside from the title track and "Trust" the other songs seems to be mildly repetitive, not in lyrics but in musicality. Maybe this might work for others overall, but not with me.... 


Why? Because it seems to work out well for these girls. These girls have a unique set of vocals and harmonize very well. If given a better score and chance I think they might skyrocket even further! all the best to GFRIEND.
