I love the rock band vibe to the album, it’s a very nostalgic sound for someone like me who grew up listening to a lot of bands.
1) Fireproof – based on the album highlight medley, i knew I’d love this, and boy was i right. Wendy’s voice is so fluid and flowy in the chorus. The song embodies freedom. I can see this playing as an OST with the protagonist breaking out of the sunroof, arms wide and wind in their hair.
2) Sunkiss (title track)- love the MV concept and i LOVE how Wendy’s voice ascends to hit the notes in the chorus. I think the transitions between the choruses and the rest of the song could have been done better but it is a really enjoyable track and i expect it to be stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
3) Existential Crisis – It’s giving Paramore and I’m all for it. Love the vocal fry and Wendy’s delivery throughout the song. I’ll be replaying this for days brb
4) Chapter You – soft and sentimental. A perfect interval and shift in the energy of the album imo. Kind of like the classic ballad in the album while still preserving the rock sound of the album. This one is a grower.
5) Hate² – of course it’s called Hate square(d). Wendy is a known math geek. Passionate and speaks of knowing what she wants. She wrote and composed this, and the love for it really comes through. Love the the bridge and the epicness of the final chorus and outro so much!
6) Believe – wraps up the album beautifully. Embodies everything this album means for Wendy. A new beginning, forging her own path in unfamiliar territory. Faith in her abilities and her fans and future.
TLDR: Love the album, it’s different from the other albums and represents her well as a soloist outside of Red Velvet. The album promo period is going to be a lot of fun, packed with schedules. I hope she gets some well deserved success followed by rest!
