Okay something about Moonbyul’s Eclipse has been nagging at me and I JUST realized what it is.

She pulled a HUTA. No I mean literally this song sounds like something he would make in that same intensity and darkness as his title track YA.

Except she’s a woman and that’s never been done before for women in music. Not only is this one of the best solo songs of all time this might be the most progressive female song, like ever.

I swear the way the vocals are in the song sounds almost identical to something I’ve heard recently, but I can’t put a finger on it😭

OMG I had the same thought being something Huta would do. 'YA' was one of my favourite songs of last year and when eclipse came out I got the vibe

Funny how she is also friends with Huta (Minhyuk of BTOB) and they are considered as lookalikes for each other.

Lan Nguyen

She did that 💜 the rest of the solo album is pretty solid!

Calling this "the most progressive female song ever" feels iffy to me. Progressiveness is not a function of being able to imitate a guy. Not to mention Moonbyul's sound looks HAVE been done before by other women people, namely black women. There are plenty of women in Kpop who have made progressive songs. Hyuna and IU have offered somewhat untraditional looks at their role in the industry, which can get quite dark. Nothing about this style of song is inherently progressive, certainly not when you compare it every song a woman has done ever.

This is pretty much how I feel, too. I don't think PD's thought was necessarily saying it is progressive because it is imitating a guys' sound, and I definitely don't take the song that way, but I also don't feel like a darker song like this is inherently "the most progressive" female song. There are so many great, progressive female artists these days. I was actually kind of disappointed by the song itself. I think it's good and I've listened to it a fair bit, but something about the vocals lacks oomph for me. It isn't anything to do with the vocals themselves, but I think more in the production of the song. All that said, Moonbyul continues to be an amazing (and progressive) artist, in general, and I think the Dark Side of the Moon album, as a whole, is really good.

Oh, I've got no quarrel with the song itself. It very good, and the album is solid. I'm less enchanted with Moonbyul herself, but I swear I didn't make the previous comment because I have some weird grudge against her. I've seen similar comments elsewhere and my own opinions about her talents aside, they both had the same tone as this --placing being "like a boygroup/male soloist" as the goal women should aspire to and somehow not catching all the other women who broke barriers in Kpop industry and worldwide. I just hope if Miya from GWSN ever gets a solo people have the same energy for her.

GOODYBOY

Yeah, I feel you. I didn't read your comment as anything against Moonbyul or the song. I also agree about Miya. Support all the dope women in kpop imo . ❤️
