Hope (from Fever Season – 2019)

The synth textures that open this track are very effective and the light new jack swing beat that follows makes me think we’re in for another early-career GFriend classic. Hope definitely nods in that direction, but it’s far more weightless than their classics and feels like an ode rather than an extension. That’s still enough to make it a very fun addition to the album, but if I’m looking at a long list of GFriend songs this isn’t one that sticks out to me in any notable way.

Grade: C+
