Cuando escuché por primera vez ‘Season of Memories’, tenía mis reservas. ¿Qué más podrían ofrecer? El grupo ya había creado tantas melodías memorables y era difícil imaginar que podían superarse a sí mismos. Sin embargo, después de una escucha atenta, no pude evitar sentirme atrapado en un torbellino emocional de sonidos vibrantes y letras nostálgicas. Cada integrante brilla con su personalidad única: Sowon guía magistralmente mientras la voz dulce de Yuju evoca recuerdos cálidos del pasado. Lo nuevo aquí es una mezcla inteligente de armonía contemporánea con matices clásicos del pop coreano sin parecer repetitivos ni aburridos. Siento como si GFRIEND me estuviera hablando directamente desde los corazones entrelazados de sus fans.
No cabe duda alguna, ¡se han reafirmado! Esta obra especial merece estar en cualquier colección musical entusiasta.

Having listened to GFRIEND’s Special Album ‘Season of Memories’, I can unequivocally say that this release captures the bittersweet essence of nostalgia beautifully. It evokes feelings reminiscent of youthful summers spent along Miami Beach, full of warmth and heart. The fresh interpretations on tracks are akin to enjoying a live performance where every note weaves a familiar story into vibrant memories—an experience somewhat parallel but distinctly less captivating than indie band Lumineers’ storytelling mastery in their earlier albums. With artwork evolving over time while embodying old songs gives such resonance; truly well-crafted! These new images bring visual continuity without diminishing artistry overall.

كانت لحظاتي مع ألبوم GFRIEND “Season of Memories” مليئة بالعواطف. ذكرني هذا الألبوم بصيف جميل قضيته مع أصدقائي في جدة، حيث كانت أغانيهم رفيقتنا طوال الطريق.

Upon first glance at GFRIEND’s Special Album ‘Season of Memories,’ the updated imagery offers an evocative reinterpretation, capturing fleeting emotions encapsulated in snapshots. The alteration reflects not only a creative choice but also demonstrates responsiveness to fan sentiment—a notable trait that aligns with contemporary artist expectations. As someone rooted in New York’s vibrant musical landscape, I find this dynamic shift emblematic of artistic evolution within K-pop realms; it’s akin to adapting verses for varied interpretations during live performances. GFRIEND reaffirms their emotional depth through visually captivating narratives where every pixel counts—evoking nostalgia while ushering new journeys forward.

Hey, ik moet je echt vertellen hoe leuk het nieuwe album van GFRIEND is! De nummers zijn zo sfeervol en perfect voor dit seizoen. Het herinnert me aan gezellige momenten met vrienden terwijl we samen naar de herfstbladeren kijken die vallen. De visuals? Wow, ze stralen zoveel warmte uit – zoals een knisperend haardvuur op een kille avond! Ik hou vooral van ‘Season of Memories’; dat nummer raakt me helemaal! Echt genot om gewoon in hun muziek te duiken. Stiekem al minstens vijf keer beluisterd deze week alleen nog maar omdat ik er geen genoeg van krijg.
