(Eva here; Mimi’s in this collab so no, she’s not talking about herself LOL. I’ve already spammed the YoPro post and the video comments, so you may see repeated comments because I’m unoriginal~ =u=)
WOW. THIS IS A VERY STRONG COLLAB. I was so impressed that I had to revive Gemini’s tumblr just to share it.
The Mixing: OHHHH THE MIXING. I love you, Farrah. One of my favorite things about this collab is the fantastic blend of the choruses, which enhanced by the harmonies just results in a rich and pleasing sound. Farrah says that the group parts were the easiest step, but you can’t underestimate that because a LOT of work still needs to go into group parts for success: a whole lot of timing work, possibly pitching, good volume balancing. You can tell that Farrah knows what she’s doing. :’D
The Cast: This was casted very well and everyone did a great job! I loved Beckie and May as the leads; the adlibs at the end were perfect. Jiyeong was a perfect choice for Tiffany, with her solidity and slightly husky tone. I loved the sweet yet mature sound to Jessica’s voice, who was a pleasant surprise as Sunny. Megan brought a lot of energy with her refreshing voice, leaving me wanting to hear more. Molly has what one might think is just a cute, weak voice, however I love that if you listen closer, there’s a lot of hidden strength. And I always enjoy seeing a Hyoyeon be a strong and appealing singer (since she’s usually casted as the weakest), which is exactly what Ruby was. FARRAH I LOVE YOUR VOICE STOP BEING PERFECT MAN. YOU TOO MIMI. -squishes Mimi and her underappreciated but lovely vibrato-
I’m sorry—I overabuse “I love.” QAQ;;
General Remarks: The ending chorus gave me chills. The positive kind. Truly an enjoyable piece that’s pleasant to the ears and keeps pulling me back to the replay button~ There’s really nothing I don’t like about this collab. :3 I hope Farrah keeps churning out these high-quality babies! 9SMILE, I WILL BE KEEPING AN EYE OUT FOR YOU. 8D
