겨울 별 (A Winter Star)


































I have the Runway version of the album and I absolutely love the photobook, it's stunning. I love the styling and I love the backdrop as it really makes each of the members pop and stand out. I think FNC missed a trick not making the albums bigger to make them look more like a high-end fashion magazine.
The album itself is really good and shows off how talented the girls were individually as well as a group.
While I wasn't a fan of Cherry Bullet, I was a casual listener of some of their title tracks and was lucky to get to see them perform in London back in 2022 at the MIK Festival and they were amazing.

I think P.O.W! (Play On the World) is a cute and upbeat track. While I love how the track changes throughout the song, I wouldn't say it's my favourite amongst their title tracks. While it shows off their fun side, I don't think it really uses them to their full potential vocally.
P.O.W! (Play On the World)

I love the whistle intro for Whistle Like That, and I love that it reappears throughout the song. I find the melody a little basic, but it really works with their vocals, it really makes you just listen to them.
Whistle Like Thar

I love the melody for Cloud Nine, it makes me think of older songs, for me it gives off a retro vibe, kind of like Girls' Generation's Lion Heart. I love their harmonisation in this song, it's stunning, and their vocals really stand out. This track was really perfect for them.
Cloud Nine

I love the intro for Queen because you can tell it's going to be a fun and cute song. It's upbeat and fits their vocal tones perfectly.
Queen

The melody for 겨울 별 (A Winter Star) is stunning. I don't know if it's because I know they've disbanded, but this song definitely pulls at the heartstrings. Their vocals are stunning, for me Cherry Bullet were vocal group and this proves that.

In my personal opinion FNC Entertainment, didn't allow Cherry Bullet to shine to their full extent. While I was only a casual listener, even I could tell that they had so much more to give, and the proof of that for me was seeing them perform in London. They were vocally stable, had me singing and dancing along and kept me entertained and engaged. I definitely came away more of a fan than when I went to the festival.
I wish them all the luck in their future endeavours and hopefully see them reach new heights, no matter what they're doing.
