Boompala
First of all, I already made a comeback post (this blog's comeback, not Le Sserafim's) but it's in draft and may be posted one day in the future. I wanna talk about Le Sserafim's new song, Boompala! I LOVE the song. When I first saw teasers, I was kinda neutral. It got a lot of hate for being another "Gnarly" clone where they say something weird, so I was probably a bit more positive out of defensiveness. I didn't immediately listen when it came out; I never do for new music from anyone I like. But it came up on autoplay, and I watched it. The music video was a bit funny. It was all good, but the golden statues that came out of the sand were quite ridiculous. People are also criticising the intro, where a phone using Google's Gemini AI is shown. That's pretty fair. As for the song (and dance!) though, I ADORE it. It feels very personal to me. I'm about to sound really white, but as someone who's always felt a connection to East and South As...
