The first review in over a week is for the song that I have been obsessed with since its release. It even topped my most recent Weekly KPOP Charts. The song is none other than JISOO’s pre-release single CLICK, which was released earlier this month. It will feature as part of her upcoming studio album. The last time I reviewed JISOO’s song was last year for her earthquake single and her AMORTAGE mini-album.
While CLICK is a very simple dance-pop song, the synth’s simplicity, the chorus’s catchiness, and the song’s overall ease have me hooked. While the track does feel empty, I think the combination of these 3 elements makes JISOO’s song speak to me. Though on the flip side, that could mean CLICK could have been beefed up and made more robust, so there is more to it. I enjoyed the stop-start delivery of the chorus, which gives the song a little something extra to talk about. JISOO herself sounds nice, though a bit more personality might have been a nice touch. It would have given CLICK more character and made the song feel less generic. So, looking back and consolidating my thoughts into this post, there is a lot more that could have been done with CLICK. But in its current form, I still dig it.
The song is about the attraction 2 people feel that should be a friendship, not a relationship. The song title, CLICK, describes that attraction. The music video is set in an abandoned theme park, with JISOO playing a cyborg who activates the ride and the robots when a ‘fashionably dressed humanoid suitor’ arrives (that last bit comes from the song’s Wikipedia page). I found the little bear very cute, especially as it joins the dancers later on in the music video. When I first saw it dance, it made me smile. JISOO, of course, looks very pretty throughout the video.
While there is some dancing in the music video, courtesy of the robots and a couple’s dance between JISOO and her suitor, it doesn’t appear to be a major part of the comeback. Without a dance practice or live stage performance, I won’t include the performance in the ratings for this release.
Song – 8/10
Music Video – 9/10
Overall Rating – 8.4/10
