Posted January 12Jan 12 dearALICE will be releasing their (proper) debut single Ariana on 21st February! They've performed it live in South Korea this weekend. Sounds very different to their TV series songs, but it's very very catchy! First chorus I wasn't sure but was bopping a lot by the second chorus.
January 13Jan 13 I wondered what was happening with this lot! Definitely different to what was on their EP, bit of a cooler, more R&B pop type feel to it. A grower I think but glad to see they're still pushing ahead.
January 16Jan 16 I watched the first performance on Sunday and I was really impressed! Everything about them feels elevated since the BBC series. Their choreography has become very slick and polished. 'Ariana' is definitely a cool and catchy sounding song - I only watched/listened once, and yet parts of the song are still going around in my head, which is always a good sign! I had also wondered whether the association with SM would extend beyond the TV series. I feared that "Made in Korea" would perhaps be a temporary gimmick, so I'm glad that's proven not to be the case and that SM evidently have a lot of belief in the group. Launching themselves in South Korea is exciting, and hopefully success will be forthcoming there. If they can make it there, perhaps the rest of the world will sit up and pay attention. I'm really rooting for them!

February 21Feb 21 So this is out now and it actually sounds a bit different that the clips teased in their performances and social media clips to the point that I dunno how I feel about it now. Edited February 21Feb 21 by TMD_24Quavo
February 21Feb 21 Author It's only some little production tweaks that are different, no? It's largely the same as the performance version! So happy this is finally out, ready to spam it :wub: ICNz7z6TLb0
February 23Feb 23 This is absolutely terrible. SM Ent’s attempt to try and make another EXO-sounding like boyband but in the west is….not hitting so far.
February 28Feb 28 Author Video's here! Curiously uses the same audio as the live performance. Looks really good visually and I love the choreo!
February 28Feb 28 Good visual and the chorea looks very slick! I also got to hand it to their stylist as well, they look together? Is that the right word
February 28Feb 28 Had a listen and a watch of the video and, whilst undoubtedly catchy, it didn't feel strong enough for me.
March 2Mar 2 I unashamedly love 'Ariana', it's so catchy and boppy! Great music video too, it has a 00s feel to it in the way its been shot.Spotify snubbing them isn't a reassuring start but I hope their teams have faith in them and that there's a long term plan, and that it doesn't all rest on 'Ariana'. A press release mentioned a forthcoming EP, so keep things moving and deliver more bops, boys x
