Just listened to attitude & honestly the minute I heard the teaser I literally could not get that “Fall out boys” song out of my head because that & the way the Tom’s Diner diner sample was used in it was too iconic. It meshed perfectly in the context of that genre.
But I fear the way IVE’s sampling was done felt distracting & did not add anything special to the song. Especially since the rest of the song felt disjointed from that section & the song as a whole felt weirdly mixed & muted.
In the same album, You wanna cry uses an interpolation of “I wanna dance with somebody” by Whitney Houston. It was definitely used creatively, I’ll give them that. Would have never expected a summer disco song to be used in a ballad-ish song. This song was cute but not amongst their greats.
Did not like that Ryuichi Sakamoto sample in supernova love at all. Did nothing but make me wanna go listen to the actual song.
Would All Night count as a sample or an actual cover? Either way, IVE as a whole were done dirty with that song, MV & promo.
Speaking of Either way, it’s one of my favourite IVE singles & I felt like the samples were well utilised while still having a touch of IVE in it.
After Like sampled “I will survive” by Gloria Gaynor & despite it being another iconic melody line, it was an important part of the chorus & one of the biggest reasons for the song to be widely loved, the sample did not distract from the song. The song itself was so well made & lead up to the perfect explosive chorus. Everybody was outside with the fireworks because it just makes u feel so much!!
Sampling & interpolation is normal of course, but IVE stuck out to me with their usage, because they mostly seem to sample from beloved & popular melodies alot of people are already familiar with. It’s a doubled edged sword tbh & can either work with or against their favour.
Lemme know your thoughts!!
