1. YELLOW (Title Track) – Click here for YELLOW’s full review. (7.5/10)

2. SARURU (사르르) – SARURU is such a lovely and sweet-sounding pop single. The members’ vocals and rapping, as well as SARURU’s lyrics, are the main drivers of these vibes. As for the instrumentation, we get a bubbly, bright band sound, with the last sequence ticking into pop-rock vibes. The drumming makes for some nice foot-tapping momentum. Overall, SARURU is a nice track from the group. (8/10)

3. WHATEVER WHENEVER – WHATEVER WHENEVER is a stunning acoustic-driven ballad. I enjoyed the group in a more sentimental light, and their vocals and rapping were quite emotionally raw in this track. This was a massive, charming point of the song. The melodies, particularly in the choruses, have that swaying effect that I love and look for in a ballad. But what got me was the final chorus, where all the members sing together. It just makes WHATEVER WHENEVER hit harder, and gives the song its ‘cherry on top’. (9/10)
