This time I wanted to take some time to focus on the members of Girls Generation and the solo songs that members that have not left the group did. Below is a list of some of the solo members including their stand-out singles (a couple of songs are duets):
Taeyeon:
"Fine"- The song was very touching and Taeyeon demonstrated fine singing through her ability to sing both in Korean and with English lyrics. Her voice was very powerful in this song. (Taeyeon, 2017, My Voice Album).
"INVU"- This is one of my favorite songs of her's too. What I happened to enjoy was the choreography and the catchyness of the lyrics. It also happens to give off the vibe of 2020s K-Pop and still feels like a new song (Taeyeon, 2022, INVU album).
Sooyoung:
"Winter Breath"- Sooyoung has a soft voice in this song and one can feel the somber mood through listening to her vocals. I really liked that the song was slow, and it brought out the nostalgic feelings in me in a positive way (Sooyoung, Youtube, 2018).
"Sway"- the first fully English song of this list so far. Her singer here demonstrates that she is a multifaceted singer through this song. Not only that, but she has strong rhythmic awareness (Sooyoung, Youtube, 2018).
Seohyun:
"Don't Say No"- Another entertaining song with energetic choreography throughout the music video. What I particularly like most about this song is the chorus (meaning that the chorus was the defining feature of the song to me) (Seohyun, 2017, Youtube).
"Hello"- Not fully a solo song, but here Seohyun sings a duet with Luhan (former member of EXO). Both of them demonstrate their ability to harmonize well, but since this is a blog post about Girls' Generation. Seohyun does exceptionally well- which is not surprising (Seohyun and Luhan, 2016, To the Beautiful You OST).
Sunny:
"First Kiss"- a very high-quality song where Sunny demonstrates her sweet personality through her music. It still holds up well as a song today perhaps even more so than in 2010 (Sunny, 2010, Story of Wine, OST).
"It's me"- Again not fully a solo song, but another duet with Luna of f(x). Both singers add meaning to the song through their strong vocals. It was not just the lyrics, but sheer talent of the singers that made this possible (Sunny and Luna, 2012 I Love Tae-ri OST).
Now that I have touched on the subject of Girls' Generation in four posts, what K-Pop or J-Pop group (or soloists) would you like me to discuss next?
