K-Pop A-Z Review: GFriend – Fallin’ Light

One song. Every day. Alphabetical order.

Keep up with GFriend’s A-Z reviews here!

Fallin’ Light (from Fallin’ Light – 2019)

What I said then: “Much of it plays like the quintessential GFriend song, but even when the beat kicks in for the chorus, it just doesn’t hit the highs I know they’re capable of. Apart from Yuju, the members have relatively light timbres to their voices, causing already airy material to feel even more intangible.” (read full review)

Updated thoughts: Title tracks always catch my attention, and I don’t mean “title tracks” in the K-pop sense, but the actual tracks that an album is named after. It seems like they should be extra special in some way. I don’t think Fallin’ Light is among GFriend’s best, but it certainly feels like a statement of intent. I was a little harsh on this when it was released. The verses could still use an extra kick, but the chorus is quite good. Its rating should definitely be bumped up a few notches.

Grade: B
