That’s why I loved Glassy, it feels like Yuri without overusing her powerful voice, this screams Jo Yuri charisma and personality more than “oh look she’s an awesome vocalist”, everybody knows she’s an amazing vocalist, people need to discover her personality

[@serendestiny7574]

yes !! I think at this point, Yuri is confident that people know she's an incredible singer, so she can focus on releasing songs that she likes and adapt her vocals to benefit the sound of the songs, rather than adapt the songs just so that she can show more of her abilities.

[@omyjelly]

@@serendestiny7574 exactly omg facts

[@signingoffbye]

Samee

[@cotenero]

Contrary to my usual opinion on belting high notes for Yuri, this is such a fresh air that Yuri wasn't given too much high note. And exactly like how PD said she has lots of range, giving her more powerful singing would be too obvious & monotonous. Plus we already have our fair share of Yuri's singing high note in IZ*ONE era. This is 8 out of 10, a solid debut for me.

[@SlavicRat]

IMO for those who research her or are Iz*one fans will be drawn in for the whole album/future, wanting to see more

[@castlehoeer1572]

She def needs to show more depth to her range. i think she's a versatile singer and she needs to show it more

[@cotenero]

@@castlehoeer1572 exactly! people needs to know that she also can nail lower registers

[@SlavicRat]

@@castlehoeer1572 One thing tho As many of her long time fans know, her singing technique can be harmful for her voice so she needs to use it wisely, maybe that's the reason?

[@castlehoeer1572]

@@SlavicRat I think that's also a reason ngl She seemed to struggle alot with Izone songs cause they demand large belts for her voice. So it kinda eases me that shes kinda going lowkey chill for now because i don't want her husky voice to become damaged 😢. Whoever was training her in Izones time needs to rethink some stuff 🖐️

[@LihanBkr]

IM LOVING THIS SONG! I KNEW SHE WOULD SLAY AS A SOLOIST

[@STAYCBias]

Nah! He is honest, the song is abit disappointing.... Can be much better. I want also want something more powerful and this song sound familiar too!

[@LihanBkr]

@@STAYCBias HMMM yes I agree I was just happy seeing her being soloist but the song is a little bit dry like you said. We need more powerfull dances, vocals and instrumentals

[@thursdayschildhasfartogo]

@@STAYCBias pd uses they/them pronouns :)

[@ajtips3365]

Jo Yuri KILLIN' IT, THAT'S OUR MAIN VOCALIST Y'ALL

[@alexgao5543]

YESSIR

[@Sam-cw3rd]

I can’t believe people (including WIZ*ONEs themselves) tunnel visioned on the idea that Jo Yuri would do only ballads/OSTs. Yuri, in PD48 said that people told her to pursue that rather than an idol career but she said she really wants to be an idol and has been through 2 survival shows to get there now. How many people have forgotten this? She’s such a talented idol, it’s weird to see people just assume that she’d give up her dream to do something stereotypical of a good vocalist.

[@horizonkyun7203]

so happy she didn't go the ballad route. it seems like such a go-to for a main vocal and i don't see why, it's not like she can't do a 1 2 step.

[@user-luciddream]

i hate it when main vocalists stick to ballads when they go solo, it always feels kinda like a waste of talent.

[@liangck6932]

Company probably testing the market. Her sounds is perfect, every song in her album is great but personally 'autumn box' is the best track for me in the album. Hope her next album is greater and can see her produce work. (IZ*ONE - 'Someday' still one of the best song for me) Besides, if you look at her schedule recently...company is giving a lot resources to her and well promote. Gaining more public attention. she will be great, we believe...

[@alexgao5543]

Someday is my favorite song fr

[@CaneFumatore]

Autumn Box? The only songs are Glassy and Express Moon...

[@freethepoi]

@@CaneFumatore Digitally Autumn Box is not in GLASSY's album since they released it before the album is out and didn't mention it's a pre-release, they just mentioned it's a single But physically Autumn Box she sang with Lee Seok Hoon is in the album. The MV is also available in her channel as well

[@daviddinh5150]

iirc Yuri mentioned once that she barely had opportunities to sing anything other than belting high notes in izone. (Probably in a vlive im not totally sure.) Luckily we got that in D-D-DANCE even though it wasn’t an izone title track. For me this was a breath of fresh air not only for me but also for her. She definitely had a chance to showcase her breathy lower vocals in this track and I’m happy for her, but ngl I hope she has more opportunities to showcase more of her range. This song gives off one side of her vocals that we don’t get to hear too often but I hope the next title track will do her voice complete justice.

[@koomaappa75]

Glassy sold 75k units in the first week of release, an absolutely smashing success!

[@alwaysnako]

YEAAA JO YURI

[@ashcaptain9334]

At the moment she sold 75k copies on first week. That's a good feat for a Solo artist. Cos popular groups usually sold 100k and above. The catchy eargasm part of her voice of this song is actually "eyes eye aye aye aye"

[@leanna744]

to pd and the viewers i recommend checking out yuri’s live performance on “it’s live” !! you can hear her strong live vocals very well on there and in my opinion she sounds even better live than in the recording! after hearing her own live version i can tell that the producers wanted the recording to sound a certain way but when she does it with her own twist she adds more of the power vocals you were talking about!

[@camilavaleria7803]

I like the fact that she didn't use belting for this song, I think she wanted to show something different, and for her to do the same high noises all the time is just more the same that we got from her in Izone.

[@ouju]

such a great debut I’m so proud of her

[@BlujayFanLove]

thank you for reacting to yuri!! i actually thought she would go the ballad route but she surprised me which is a good thing! hope she would be able to show more of her range in the future. hoping you’d still be reacting to eternal sunshine by ateez

[@kmarie3751]

She slays as a soloist, yes. But I can’t help thinking that Glassy reminds me of Door by Kwon Eunbi herself. The aesthetics of the videos are vastly different, but the way they both kind of lean to a more jazzy side of pop makes them both memorable yet similar.

[@Patelabbas23]

I think many soloists are taking jazzy songs up.

[@kmarie3751]

@@Patelabbas23 really? These are the only two that have caught my eye as of late

[@mattwvv7376]

I agree! I thought the same thing when I first listened to this song too. Both songs do have the same producer (monotree) so that could be why there are similarities as well

[@castlehoeer1572]

@@Patelabbas23 the retro bass trend is still not dead and I hate it

[@Patelabbas23]

@@kmarie3751 yeah like I've heard a few other songs with jazzy vibes. Don't remember on the top of my head though. I think it's like an upcoming small trend.

[@ohtywhite]

At first I had the same reaction you did: I wanted to hear Yuri go "bigger", at least during the bridge or final chorus. But as I've listened to the song more, I actually appreciate how she chose to "under-sing" it. It matches the breezy pop vibe of the song and makes it easier to listen to on repeat. Every time the songs over it's like I crave to hear it one more time because I'm not quite satisfied. And every part feels like I can sing along/can get stuck in my head. It kind of reminds me how Christina Aguilera "under-sang" Genie in a Bottle, which is part of what makes that song catchy too. I'm so pleasantly surprised by Yuri's debut. Can't wait to see more from her as a soloist.

[@nico88477]

It's true that Yuri's voice have a lot more range, power & habilities, but i think, she using this "airy, low & kinda whispered" style is what makes this song so unique and impressive, mostly for wiz*ones who we already know what she is capable of. I think (and probably other wiz*ones too) that if the song ended up having more high notes and powerful sings (using all Yuri's voice habilities & range) it will be an amazing song (obviously) but it wouldn't be as NEW like her using the style she used for this song, since she used a lot of those high notes and powerful sings in IZ*ONE. But it's obvious that in the future she will make a BOP using all those high notes and power vocals she have, that's why Im not worried and why I really liked this solo debut :D

[@dekuwashi]

I love this song so fucking much, I never really followed Yuri while she was in IZ*ONE but this song is addicting

[@girlwithluv-multifandom]

Personally, I love the song! I thought we got to hear a different side from Yuri that I wasn’t expecting. The raspy vocals suited the song well. This is just the beginning, so she’ll have plenty of time to show off her range.

[@andressasantos9219]

Exactly

[@rohinidikshit6861]

I am not a person who thinks belting is what makes a good song/vocalist but this song really needed that, it felt like Yuri was holding back in the chorus

[@castlehoeer1572]

Hoping for Jo yuri belts on our first comeback! 🙏

[@koomaappa75]

Yuri apparently insisted on her fandom name be "Glassy". Best girl, she is.

[@arrrose]

I feel that this was quite a good start and debut. I so get your point and I agree that her skills were not fully used. But I also feel like this could be a tease of what it is to come. I hope her team is able to do the best for her. Thank you for checking Glassy out 😀

[@bdm3852]

she has addictive tone vocal, one of the best main 4th gen vocalist

[@babypotato]

Yesss I’ve been waiting for this! JO YURI QUEEN

[@AidenB018]

Yuri voice always stand out in izone. Her debut is neat and clean. Going well with the title “glass”. Shiny, clear and airy

[@fdscrl6016]

I always run to catch the train to go to uni in the morning listening to this song and it gives me so much energy. I love it a lot!

[@tan8848]

This was just so pretty ✨✨✨ both the song and the mv

[@kennzieduncan4312]

i love how her chest voice sounds here, so pure and then goes into that mix for the chorus. love her as a soloist 🤠💖

[@leahbeahh]

Highly recommend watching her live stages for glassy it made me like the song even more and I think its a good debut for her she really kills the performances

[@k-parallels2031]

Such a dynamic song with a solid, addictive melody. I feel like bright concepts fall flat half the time, so this was refreshing. Fingers crossed that she has the proper investment and is able to flourish as a soloist ✨

[@CRAYONweiwen]

Agree with PD, hope her comeback can have a Bang high vocal just like IU's Good Day. Her OST type song Autumn Box (in the album) might be something you need more from Yuri, check it out PD.

[@chaengchaengtrain399]

Yuri is promoting so well I'm so glad she wasn't thrown in a group 😭

I HAVE BEEN WAITING!!

[@moon9744]

this is such a great song!! love it!!

[@yanidaryas]

She basically has a husky voice but when in izone she barely get any chance to showcase through every iz one song. So happy now she's doing a solo debut and now she can showcase her capability as a singer

[@raeyoshi5670]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!!

[@Vividaze]

The whole single album is excellent, her vocals are fantastic & I really love the direction her music is taking!

[@RA-iv2oo]

Yeah the song is a grower. Yuri's voice has got to be one of my faves in kpop but the song really didn't capture its greatness. I really hope WakeOne chooses a more impactful song in her comeback and they better be because Yuri just passed 75k album sales for this debut.

[@irisbenitho]

When that high note moment was cut short, I was so sad.

[@jessb5780]

Yo listen to the backing vocals at 12:47!!! DID ANYONE ELSE HEAR YURI COMPLETELY BLOW?!?

[@skullwarrior13]

Agree with your points. While I love the song and Yuri, it does have a sense of sameness most of the song. But then on the flip side, it's that sameness that makes this song very easy to listen to; especially when I need to watch the countless performances she's doing. I'm sure her comeback will have her belting out notes or using one of her techniques she's shown off during her many cover songs.

[@thejojobaboy]

I wasn't feeling the song at first but as time goes by, it really has grown on me. I realized earlier I was humming the song. Great debut!

Yessss stan Jo Yuri y'all

[@itec745]

The band live version on the It’s Live channel really made the song glassy sound better than the original release. I am glad she had the chance to show her vocals with a live band too. Maybe it’s not a great song because it has a slow beat and less use of bass and percussion like her OST story of us

[@springgzzz6585]

YASHH QUEEN

[@sana-cm7oc]

Spot on reaction/review.

[@yurikonanase9473]

I agree with what you said about not utilizing her potential but i do think its because she was just starting. I feel like everything in the album so far is created to teased the fans and the public on what yuri can give as an artist. Glassy feels more like a teaser to me for a much greater album she would produced in the future. Its the kind of teaser that will show everyone who she really is and not just a person who have an amazing and great vocals.

[@onodakun456]

I'm pretty much agree with pd. for me, maybe because I think it's been a while since I listen to her high notes in a song that I expected something more in her debut

[@Lalalandtothemax]

I think it's because I am heavily Yuri biased that I love this song. But I agree with you too because I was expecting something more after the You and I baby, but then it went into the lalalala. However, after watching her stages and seeing the dance with the song, I love it so much. I listen to it at least twice a day lol

[@FudgeeClydeChuckBlairKai]

Glassy is my go to song actually. Loved it.

[@luasophia]

If it’s another izone member debut, i’m here early 👍🏻

[@_tick_drops_oficial633]

the music is so beautiful, that's a point, it's not a style of music you normally hear in korea, but it's well built, it has dynamics, and of course we would have comparisons with the IZ ONE style; let's think that this performance is just a part of the identity Jo yuri, we'll see a lot more going forward, I hope

[@ЮлияМанзюк-и5н]

just before Glassy she released a song called "Autumn box" it is so good, please listen to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Nicolesid1]

Totally agree that this song doesn't use her voice well. They made her mold to the song instead of the song being built for her. The song is lovely and princessy, just not WOW like Yuri can totally be. Also, this came out when so many other bigger groups came out, so she was going to have to fight for attention and to build new fans. Yes, she has Wiz*One backing her and others may see her because the other groups are out but this is sort of boring and may not bring in Yuri fans.

[@mykalahjohnson645]

Well, it has been getting her attention and has brought in quite a lot of new fans for her already.

[@Nicolesid1]

@@mykalahjohnson645 that is great to hear 👍

[@cloudofreverie786]

Im not an izone stan, but this by far is the best solo from all the izone soloists. It isn't boring at all. You're just used to her belting. Her vocal texture alone is good that she doesn't need to belt that high.

[@natvrale]

@@cloudofreverie786 THANK YOU. She doesn't need to constantly be belting out high notes to be good, or "wow". There's so much more to her than high notes, she has an insane lower register that we haven't heard nearly enough, and of course what we hear in this song as well. All those notes she had in izone definitely can't have been healthy for her voice, so I'm glad she's relaxing it.

[@cloudofreverie786]

@@natvrale also, let's respect how she wants to use her voice, maybe this is the creative direction she wants to take. In IZONE, she doesn't really have a say but just sing the main vocal lines in songs produced for them. Now that she's a soloist, she has more control over her voice. Singing out of her own interest and not for capital. Ofc she will belt those high notes in the group because that's the killing part. What the fans want to hear but let us also listen what she wants to express creatively. Let's give her a chance to grow as an artist.

[@Smolhands_Digitools]

Well, this might be weird but I have been a casual listener of IZ*ONE since debut. I did nit happen to be atteacted to Yuri that time idk why but THIS SONG! and her debut made me notice her and i am listening to this song everyday🥺❤

[@dzer3]

Shes so pretty I can't even rate her

[@congchucha1086]

you must listen espress moon too, that so good

[@Otoshwong]

EXPRESS MOON IS SO GOOD TOO! love this girl

[@carol2788]

The “ la ra ra la ra ra” sounds like “girl from Ipanema”. As a Brazilian I recognized right away.

[@dkgong]

Gotta respect your honest opinion. I liked it but not enough to put in my Spotify playlists, so I'm in the same camp as PD. I really enjoy her stage performances though.

[@cloudofreverie786]

I'm not an wiz one but this is the best solo song from all the izone alumnis. Her tone is also husky, airy, and refreshing. Her voice now is kinda similar to her alleged cousin Jo Haseul, which I also adore.

[@gudc00ch33]

I honestly think the vocals don’t capture her potential becuase of Izone. PD made a point saying Yuri was mainly used for high notes in Izone and overtime that led to a lot of fatigue in her vocals, and since her debut was so soon aftwerwards i think the debut was just the company trying to play it safer with her vocals and not have her belt extremely high like she did in izone

[@gudc00ch33]

and to kinda answer the question at like 7:00, She kinda does have an issue with singing with a lot of air throughout her voice but that seems to change within certain songs (Her jessie cover) slightly. I’m not a vocal coach myself either i just like to study vocals and that seems to be the case with her

[@vinztrebor5361]

I DEFINITELY AGREE THAT THE CHORUS SHOULD’VE WENT HIGHER SOUND-WISE. almost like an explosion even just of her repeating the chorus just in a higher tone

[@bahngchanz]

Bro, if you aren’t jamming to this bop. Then leave! The door is this way! 🚪👈

[@cloudofreverie786]

I think what she's doing is singing from interest, not from capital, just because she can sing a high G doesnt mean she has to. This song is the best release from an izone alumni and I stand by it. That high head voice exclamation in the end is so good.

[@joyuriz2304]

PD.... I'm so agree with you, because I'm the same as you. I started to like I*ZONE from Panorama because of Yena, and Yuri's vocal wrecked me. I love her debut but I agree that it could be better, maybe you should check on her other songs, Express Moon and Autumn Box. Great Song. Also Yena's debut will be postponed till next year cause she's busy right now and want to choose her songs more carefully. Can't wait for Yenyul's next project 😁

[@gungkhisma6330]

I really like this glassy album 😍 Btw key - bad love when ?? 😌

[@method1333]

Its actually a perfect song for Yuri cause you can tell this is how she wants to sing. Yes, she has a much higher register in IZONE songs, but like you said, that's exactly what they use her for in their songs. She brought a lot of lower register notes in this song, while maintaining a poppy and fast paced vibe, which is very hard to do. Her utilization of breath especially stood out making it much more diverse and eloquent. I think this song was perfect if you came into it without expectations. If you had the expectations of her belting then yeah of course you were disappointed but that doesn't nor should it detract from the song. I think it speaks better for Yuri that she sang such a song than what we all thought she would do, it shows she has the range contrary to PD saying the opposite.

[@_kimnguyen]

The song somehow popped up in my recommended feed even though I never heard of her before, and IZ*ONE was one of the bigger groups that I never got into. However I'm glad I gave the song I shot because I really enjoyed it. I also get that the song doesn't have the typical flair of a debut song, but I do think the softer style makes it stand out in its own way, especially the hook.

I agree that this song doesn't showcase Yuri's full vocal abilities, but I don't think it needed too. I think Yuri doesn't need to prove herself as a singer at this point, she can just focus on putting out music that she likes. I love the softer vibes of Glassy and the b-sides show her versatility with more powerful and emotional vocals ;)
