Hello guys and welcome to my newest segment on Yona's Blog called Insights From a Goddess and for its maiden debut, I'm going to do a quick impression about MNL48's first ever subunit, Baby Blue, and their debut single "Sweet Talking Sugar!" But before that, let's have a brief profile on this newest subunit of the 48g shall we?
Officially announced on August 31, 2020, Baby Blue are consist of the top three winners of the Janken Senbatsu, and these are Amy Isidto of Team L, Coleen Trinidad of Team NIV and Jan Elaurza of Team MII, who also serves as its leader. The subunit is also a collaborated project between Emenel's management company, Hallo Hallo Entertainment, and Japanese recording label and store, Tower Records, which is aimed to have a nationwide and worldwide tour for the aforementioned which will be held after the COVID-19 pandemic.
The song "Sweet Talking Sugar" was first released on the EGGS music platform of Tawareco (nickname for Tower Records) on the midnight of September 1, and subsequently expanded into iTunes and Spotify a few days later. Finally its official music video was released first in Japan on September 16, then on the official Emenel YouTube channel a day after, September 17. The said MV was directed by Carlos Francisco Manatad, who is also behind the ones for "Palusot Ko'y Maybe" and "365 Araw ng Eroplanong Papel." Meanwhile, the lyrics was done by Tiny Corpuz, who also did numerous ABS-CBN station IDs. Therefore, STS is the first full English song done by the 48g and also Emenel's first official released original song overall.
Now let's move on to my quick impression on the song and its MV, as excerpted from PAKSA MNL's Thinking Out Loud roundtable segment, where I was one of the writers who gave humble insights regarding the said matter.
The "yay" things: Everything's superb especially the aesthetics and the natural singing voices of the members.
The "nay" things: The blinking lights and flash kind of made my eyes dizzy.
What shocked you: A bit of some Easter eggs of sorts, but what could it that be?
Verdict (1 lowest, 5 highest): 4.5
