It's nice to watch their songs/albums in order of release. Although each is a masterpiece in its own right, you can really see their growth and changes that way.
I love 25. The song and MV have none of the glossy production values of most kpop and that really helps it resonate as an expression of who Wheein is as a person and an artist. Especially at that time Wheein was the most shy and reserved member and 25 was a rare glimpse into her inner life. You might be done with the 4 Seasons project but fyi there are other songs on the 4S4C albums that have MVs and, as if releasing four albums in a 12 month span wasn't enough to keep them busy, they released a bunch of other group and solo songs with MVs or other videos during that time period. And of course there's the vids of their spectacular 4 Seasons S/S and 4 Seasons F/W concerts as well as their viral performance at the 2018 MAMA award show. While filming the Starry Night MV in New Zealand they also shot an MV for Star Wind Flower Sun, which was written by Solar to express her gratitude to the members, their families, staff & colleagues and to moomoos for all their love and support. The title symbolizes the members. Star Wind Flower Sun is on the first 4S4C album Yellow Flower and Solar also recorded a solo version without an MV. In April Solar dropped two songs with MVs as part of her Solar Gamsung covers project: Nada Sou Sou and It's Been a Long Time. Gamsung means emotion or sensitivity and almost all the covers are ballads. Nada Sou Sou is a 5 hankie emotional wrecking ball and It's Been a Long Time is a fun new wave version of a 90's k-rock song that Solar turned into a Blondie tribute/parody with the help of labelmates Onewe. That month she also released a Solar Gamsung album and became the first member to hold solo concerts and later that year she released a collab with Cosmic Girl called Lie Ya. The video for Lie Ya is a live performance on a set in a studio. Have you watched the double pole dance video for Solar's Hello yet? Moomoos consider it the equivalent of an MV since Hello is the only solo song in the 4S4C project that didn't get an official MV. It's a must see. Wheein made her solo debut with Easy, featuring rapper Sik-K. It's one of my favorite Wheein songs. Hwasa scored a #1 hit with Don't, a three way collab with rapper Loco and songwriter Woogie. Watch the "Above Live" video. Don't is one of the sexiest collabs in kpop history. Hwasa also released her debut solo single Twit about a month before MMM released the final 4S4C album White Wind. Twit was another #1 hit. and it earned Hwasa two wins on tv music shows, including once while MMM was on the show to perform Gogobebe. The members went nuts and helped her celebrate the win by singing and dancing along during the encore performance. I don't know whether that's the only time a group and a member have had competing songs on a music show but regardless it was a magical, fun and heartwarming moment, tho you probably shouldn't react to it since the tv network will probably block it. MMM did two CF songs during the 4 Seasons era, Maeil Bio (aka Everyday) and Sky Sky. Maeil Bio was for a company that makes yoghurt and Sky Sky was for a video game. Sky Sky was included on the Red Moon album (title track Egotistic). Imo they're two of the worst songs MMM ever did but that's only by comparison to the rest of their discography. They're ok songs and naturally their singing is fantastic. MMM also recorded the beautiful OST ballad You In My Dreams for a kdrama called Suits. You can find a video with footage from the tv show and if you want subtitles there's a lyric video. I think 2018 was one of kpop's best years and Mamamoo's 4 Seasons project had a lot to do with it. It started off with a bang when MMM released Paint Me and announced the 4S4C project in January. You've reacted to Paint Me, which was my personal choice for SOTY, but MMM didn't promote it at all and it wasn't a big hit, just like many of my favorite songs of the year. In addition to Wheein's Easy and Solar & Cosmic Girl's Lie Ya, if you ever want to check out some terrific under the radar 2018 songs by female artists try I'm Your Girl by Khan, Lower by Amber & Luna of f(x), Backspace by Motte, Finale by H.U.B, Kawi Bawi Bo by Yoon Mirae, Pluhmm by HA:TFELT (former Wonder Girls), Run by Lee Jinah, or a couple songs by Cacophony - Breath and Rosetta. There's more but I'll stop there. I still listen to all those underrated to totally obscure songs (some have less than 50k views), which is something I can't say about at least 90% of the kpop hits I've heard in the six years since then.
Thank you so much for this valuable comment! It really helped me understand and appreciate even more the artistic journey and significance of Mamamoo. 🙏
Tenho a mesma opinião... wstive acompanhando o MAMA (uma das maiores premiações da Coréia) desde algum tempo e percebí que os criterios mudaram muito, aquela coisa do cantar perfeito foi meio que abandonado e tentando remediar uma injustiça eu me deparei com muito playback, palmas gravadas, prêmios inventados às pressas e premiações simplesmente para quem exagerou mais... enfim, não fui ouvida e a injustiça continuou. Vale o espetáculo? Vale, mas cantores incríveis foram deixados de fora, muitas vezes porque o investimento procura pessoas jovens para que o retorno seja mais longo, cantores como Mamamoo ficam fora, parte porque já são consideradas de mais idade, parte porque porque o costume é assim, cantam absurdamente mas não investiu em grandes efeitos especiais financeiramente falando.... teria muito para falar dessa premiação mas é vão. Obrigado pelo react, você sempre percebendo os detalhes. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Obrigado por assistir ao vídeo! Infelizmente, o sucesso e os prémios nem sempre andam de mãos dadas com o talento. Eu prefiro que as Mamamoo continuem a brilhar pelo talento delas e pelas músicas maravilhosas que criam. Espero que, mais cedo ou mais tarde, mais pessoas reconheçam o verdadeiro valor delas, mas já somos muitos a apreciá-las!
They have over 400 videos, so plenty more to see. I can suggest a few. Try some of the early impromptu cover videos. Start with Solar and Wheein doing No Cool, i'm Sorry, This is their training days, it is hilarious perfect vocals then and Solar doing piano, they the group doing Love me, Save me from myself and that Pikachu song(unreal moonbyul vocals in that). Then do their many OSTs, Woo Hoo, Glean, I wanna be myself and more. But since Solar is my favorite singer, Solarsido is her youtube with some of the best covers ever, a capellas of imagine dragons and Lady gaga, the best michael jackson and franki valli covers, her Mata Hari song and more. Solar's solos as well. The Solar Gamsung project 11 songs, 3 this year the rest pre 2017 most will make you cry, her albums with the most recent Blues is the best song, But I and Colors awesome, But I also has a piano only version by her plus her OSTs like Adrenaline(a different singer sings a version in Italian), Exit and Escape. Finally Mamamoo+ which is the Moonbyul Solar subgroup. Every song is awesome with GGBB, Chico Malo, Starry Sea and more. There is the MV and then a live version of Save Me, another for tears. Plenty to listen too and next time I could list out the Wheein, Moonbyul and Hwasa albums, covers and more.
