[@blackzenlite4611]

This is such an informative video, really highlights the songs in their own way but also proves that there was a stylistic change between the pre and post izone disbandment sound. Notice how the LIMELIGHT and TripleS Evolution songs sound more like demos, because the productions sound completed yet the percussions and overall drum sets sound much "lesser" than Fiesta. I wonder if this is how IZ*ONE title tracks would sound like in 2023 if they never disbanded. On a side note, I really wish there was a fixed group to continue this "sparkly electropop" sound. Lightsum had huge potential to continue this with Vivace but unfortunately they didn't. WJSN and GWSN were up there but if we are talking about new gen groups, I really wish Kep1er continued this legacy but unfortunately their sound direction is... not impressive to say the least. If there is any group to continue this sound, LIMELIGHT is the safest bet. I will add that we can sometimes hear this type of sound pop up rarely, actually gonna list these below if anyone reads this comment and wants to find out similar songs: 1. IZ*ONE's discography 2. Miss Back - Finale 3. WJSN's discography starting from Save Me, Save You era 4. GWSN's discography, especially their title tracks 5. Lightsum - VIVACE 6. GP999 Medusa - Snake 7. GP999 7 LOVE Minutes - U+ME=LOVE 8. Kep1er - MVSK, See The Light, Up (their best title track), Love on Lock 9. Luminous - Focus 10. Rocket Punch - FLASH, Twinkle Star 11. LIMELIGHT - Starlight, Blanc Noir 12. fromis_9 - Rewind, Attitude, Don't Care 13. Eun Bi - Door, Glitch, The Flash (she's mother btw) 14. Ferry Blue - Free, Breaking The Rules 15. TripleS Evolution - Rhodanthe 16. Qwer - Discord, Secret Diary (recently debuted and their music is AMAZING)

[@musicabc]

Very very informative analysis, really appreciate how well you know about kpop, should let more people see this

[@Ruenne]

disbanded (TRAGICALLY) but i also recommend ARIAZ's Moonlight Aria

[@clu691]

when i said lightsum had potential with vivace, i got ppl replying to me telling me i just wanted an izone clone... but this niche is such an untapped market that someone could easily put their own spin on this!!

[@ezri1529]

The producer really make a different universe of one song

[@musicabc]

Based on the similar elements, the producer made the melodic line differently, and the way to build up the climax is quite different too.

[@FlashKetchum]

Do they all have one similar producer?

[@iloveminjeong01]

​@@FlashKetchumthey have the same producing team, all 4 songs

[@FlashKetchum]

@@iloveminjeong01 what's their name/s?

[@jessietrollcat9215]

​@@musicabc But in Fiesta and Rhodante is almost same still

[@hqnaemu]

I noticed how similar Rhodanthe was to Fiesta as soon as it played in the highlight medley, theres no doubt theyre really similar

[@musicabc]

The music is really similar!!

[@purrplex8793]

we already knew during the gravity event

[@hk5322]

Violeta, Rhodanthe, and Fiesta is written by the same person. That's just lazy writing, TripleS deserves better.

[@verdesogreen]

@@hk5322 I think it is fine. Since its the same producer, it makes sense why it sounds the same. I think if you reframe your perspective from thinking Rhodanthe is a copy of Fiesta to thinking that they are songs from the same producer with the same style, then you can enjoy it.

[@_Wonnielvrs]

This producer is shameless unlike the other songs Rhodanthe is literally Fiesta if it had a part 2‼️‼️‼️ he must’ve really liked the way the song turned out 😭😭😭

[@musicabc]

At least the song got some attention due to this issue 😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@_Wonnielvrs]

@@musicabc 😭😭😭

[@crudojoshuaricofort8795]

Rhodanthe also follows the flower theme of the izone title track names, I guess the producer didn't want it wasted cuz rhodanthe is likely just rejected by izone's company cuz fiesta is a more "catchy" title than rhodanthe

[@ksj1125]

As a late wizone I see Rodhante an absoulute win ,I wish triple S or Limelight use the Izone concept like that all of this songs is produced by that producer which it couldve been an izone song if they didnot disband

[@musicabc]

🥲🥲

[@nakynaki]

Thank you so much 🙌. Wiz*ones and wavs unite.

[@smurfoasis1288]

We limelight stans mean it literally when we say their music has izone vibes

[@musicabc]

Limelight vs Izone! What a topic !

[@anderramirez8433]

Rhodanthe and Fiesta are like Twins, Starlight and Blanc Noir are also twins and all of them are siblings, its a shame cuz Rhodanthe have the same Single vibes as Fiesta and Starlight, but at least it saw the light of the day, the only thing that bothers me its that Blanc Noir for Limelight as their second EP when starling was lead for their first was kinda...i can't help but hear it like a remix, and these are kind of songs that are really great but 1 its like enought for a group Edit: Limelight also got Crystal which is from the same producers and it's less similar but still sounds alike

[@musicabc]

Such a big family, right ?🤣🤣

[@tigroza]

Starlight released with their first pre-debut EP Limelight, as a title track, while Blanc Noir was the B-side for their debut EP Love & Happiness. I loved how they changed the sounds while still being familiar, Limelight - EP - served as a good introduction

[@anderramirez8433]

@@tigroza oh you're right, sorry I didn't noticed it, the ones that were realeased together were Blanc Noir and Crystal, which is also from the same producers

[@tigroza]

@@anderramirez8433 No worries, it’s very easy to get the releases together, plus Crystal and a blanc Noir together they have the same style

[@BrechtHamers98]

As a WIZ*ONE this explains so much as to why I LOVE limelight’s sound so much haha!

[@musicabc]

Wiz*one here!!!

[@skyfeelan]

I didn't even notice that Limelight's songs are similar until ppl pointed that out in Rhodanthe comment section (Limelight comment section is pretty calm), they did a really good job differentiating Limelight and IZ*ONE style

[@43v3rglow]

The way Rhodante is literally Fiesta with less production and shorter loops 💀

[@musicabc]

Not sure if it is a work with less production, but at least for the girls, I think they are doing pretty well

[@Unknown-jg4uq]

I think fiesta was touched up more because it's a title track

[@nakynaki]

@@Unknown-jg4uqtechnically. Rhodante was in line to be a title track for ot10 triples. Rising was what won. The candidates were: A- Rhodante, B- Rising, C- New Look, D- unknown and unreleased but it’s a Latin pop song, E- Beam, F- Invincible, G and H are also unknown and unreleased but H was said to sound like mago by many wavs. And yes it could’ve been touched up more but the choice was made by fans in the first week of December, recorded by the girls later that same month, filmed mv in January, and released in February. So it’s safe to say all songs A-H were fully produced and basically ready to go, especially A as it was the only song to not have the lyrics changed.

[@Someone-iv6ff]

Literally

[@Unknown-jg4uq]

@@nakynaki fascinating. They probably chose it not because rhodanthe was not title track worthy but for how controversial it could be. It is really smilar to Violeta and Fiesta and Wizones who missed Izone might not take it very well. Not all of us can think clearly so it's just a risk

[@carlos2004]

this reminds me of when i first heard limelight and how similar it was to izone's stuff. i was pretty excited when i learned it was the same team that also did the izone songs. however, they have released other songs that have their own feel to them and now i like those more.

[@musicabc]

Have to say that they all got their own characteristics!!

[@Mayukirin08]

+ Vivace And I love this kind of songs!! This is definitely for me 🔥🎧

[@musicabc]

I like this style too!!!!

[@naiz_kiko]

yeahhh, the sparkly twinkly kinda song 😂 no wonder izone's debut was a massive hit even for a mnet survival group, it sounded new (not general cutesy or leaning more to ethereal like lovelyz or ohmygirl) at the time everyone was basically scrambling for girl crush, i do wish lightsum uses more sound like these, if izone make it like dainty but elegant, theirs feel like rebel type but still elegant, imagine concept of vivace + alive...

[@nakynaki]

@@naiz_kikoyeah and I think it truly fit members like wonyoung and yujin, who were young at the time it was a great youthful, ethereal, flower girl concept that rlly allowed wony to shine but not in an odd light. Her whole vibe really captured the essence of the group and allowed her to blossom into concept master that she is today. As much as I hate Mnet, I must admit that they choose good concepts for their groups to debut with (a bit of a falter with Kep1er but everyone else seems to have a solid theme that fit them).

[@MROYvids]

check out Paeonia - Busters as well 🤣

[@Mayukirin08]

@@MROYvids thank you for recommending! this one is a slower version and I also love it!

[@lvlyyun]

i knew rhodanthe reminded me of an iz*one song. i fell in love with it first listen because of that 😭

[@A.A.A543]

I want more songs like these.

[@musicabc]

Their style so chill, isn’t it

[@A.A.A543]

@@musicabc i don't know why girl groups aren't making these type of song , chill and listenable.

[@IllIlll]

The plant they should have named it after is Dandelion because elements of this song are popping up everywhere

[@musicabc]

Didn’t know that before, thanks for sharing!!!

[@viridianlotus3062]

At least Blanc Noir and STARLIGHT slightly differentiates itself and can stand on its own as a song but Rodanthe is way to similar to Fiesta

[@musicabc]

The way to build up the climax have a little bit differences🤔🤔

[@_Wonnielvrs]

Literally like before I found out it was from the same PD I thought it they plagiarised Fiesta

[@nakynaki]

I see it the opposite way

[@nakynaki]

@@_Wonnielvrsthis is why many wavs did not want to vote track A as A was rhodante. This could’ve been what Rising was this February as it was in the lineup but was the first to be eliminated (in rounds of 1 v 1). We already had NewJean Stan’s on our back from generation and we didn’t want wizones too

[@_Wonnielvrs]

@@nakynaki The difference is that Bunnies were overeating and think that NewJeans own everything but here Wiz*Ones normally don’t come at people I know this cause I am a Wiz*One we’re pretty calm and chill but when we heard rhodanthe we were taken a back because it was literal copy of Fiesta

[@iicrazyii7575]

maybe we can mix them

chorus from Violeta (Rhodanthe)

Blanc Noir is Fiesta + D-D-Dance. I kinda hear d-d-dance intro in it.

So detailed 👍🏻👍🏻

[@q.q4027]

This style of songs is so beautiful but damn this producer really is shameless lol they really gave triple s the rejected demo for fiesta and thought no one would notice 😭

[@musicabc]

Everyone knows that :)

[@salemonin]

wait so they got the rejected stuff? i mean it's not that shameless the company probably buy that song from the producer

[@musicabc]

@@salemonin I think it might not be the rejected demo, just those songs from that producer very similar

[@beepboopbaap2511]

this reminds me of the ans and everglow song controversy over adios vs say my name a few years ago

[@user-nd5lg2rj2j]

@@salemoninit’s not rejected, it’s likely an earlier draft of the song though. blanc noir, starlight, and crystal all share some similarities but they also have different parts, whereas rhodanthe is basically a more bare fiesta throughout.

[@fivehigh9777]

Producer getting paid multiple times for same work

[@musicabc]

🤫🤫🤫🤣

[@hyleore]

people saying that the songs are copy-pasted and criticise them for it is kind of like if people said Van Gogh's "Starry Night Over the Rhône" was copied over his "The Starry Night" - it's the same person behind it and he has a style! that being said, I find the comparison interesting.

[@musicabc]

Good use of your example!!

[@wizonce2834]

Got7 lullabys intro sounded like fiesta too i think

[@nakynaki]

This is why I think that the song build is like izone but the delivery is like limelight (lots of high notes and not all that well blended). Not hating on any of the groups as I literally Stan all and am a triples ult (hello Naky hi), but it’s got that kinda like lower budget feel to it but I think it’s rlly cute

[@musicabc]

I guess maybe because iz*one’s fiesta is so famous and became the best version for these style, if iz*one sing the rhodanthe, then it would be a different story

[@flipseaytank]

Soy fan de Limelight, y cuando escuché Rhodanthe y recordé que sonaba a Fiesta, luego me hice fan de Iz*one
