IZ*ONE - Waiting premiere

You can literally hear the mixing difference...

 

Out of the four new songs, we've heard 2 in full and 2 just a tiny bit.

I think Waiting is gonna grow on me, it's not bad but nothing too spectacular.
Beware is not my cup of tea.

This may change with the full version but for now Dousureba Ii? is the only one that sounds interesting.

 

The short teaser for Beware was promising but the radio leak makes the song sound like another typical Japanese release (below StI).
Initial sound effect in Waiting reminds me of Big Bang's FXXK It but it overall it's ok, not enough to comment on too shy.
Dousureba Ii has kind of a chill sound.
Overall Yummy Summer might be the best track, like the title it's a very summer vibe.

 

Anyway Fiesta jpn version

The previews for each song are too short I can't say if I like a song or not. But Dousurebaii and Shy Boy previews sound goood in my opinion.
Waiting is not a bad song but It's kind of generic compared to most of their songs.
Beware is not that great but at least it's good that they kept doing different styles for every jp release.
I think for the MV we might see some references for Chaewon center. I think it would've been great if the release remainder as the 4th single so we could see her center properly.
I guess the MV will be released like 1-2 weeks before the album So there's still more than 1 month left.

 

Yes sir YES SIRRRRRR

Beware full song. Having taken Youtube compression into account, sounds the same compared to my apple music download. Again the song I like, but its mastering esp. vocals is horrible. I mean .. why??

 

MV preview:

Based on how people really dislike the production of Beware I wonder if they could pick another song a the promotional, maybe one that wasn't recorded yet. I guess it was all settled since long ago that it has to be Beware.
I guess OTR has all the hopes on the MV which looks great honestly.
