Emotional Days (from Fallin’ Light – 2019)

GFriend’s Japanese work is very hit or miss for me, which is funny because their best material strongly recalls J-pop sounds. Emotional Days’ repetitive melody has potential, but the song never builds into anything spectacular. It feels as if it’s about to explode at every turn. However, the closest we get is a powerful vocal during the chorus. The instrumental could have done with a big tempo change halfway through. The shift in percussion is too little, too late to have much effect, but at least the song is a nice vocal showcase.
