Individual Review
Say Something is a great way to start off the album. It’s an up-beat , dance track and makes you feel good.9/10
Title track,I Broke Up Today is another ballad type song that everyone can relate to. Penned by singer Hwayobi, this is such a beautiful song and you can feel the emotion.The MV shows just as much emotion starring Ji Chang Wook & Han Bo Bae.
I Like You has this rock sound to it that brings us back to Password days. A really fun upbeat song and I love the way she says í•´. 8/10
Must Easy is definitely a favorite of mine. This song has a sarcastic feel, as if saying ‘It was easy to get over me wasn’t it?’ Her voice really shines with backing of guitar,drums and piano. I felt that the song ended abruptly though.This song was written by Yoo Hee-yeol( Toy/ the host of Sketchbook) 7/10
Ever since the first listen,Realize After Breakup has been on repeat . This has a really nice R&B feel. Younha and Kim Bum Soo have collaborated in the past together for his 6th album. Their voices melt together. It’s like eating chocolate. I really like her ad-lib towards the end. 10/10
LaLaLa is a jazzy piece. It reminds me of a slower version of 1,2,3. An easy listen if you’re having a bad day and how can you hate these lyrics:
LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa
8/10
22nd Street is very acoustic-y. I like the blend of guitar and piano. The build up of this song is nice and it doesn’t just leave you hanging i the air; it brings you back down. 8/10
