It lacks the impact of their previous a-sides and sounds more like a sad attempt dropping some summer heat. It&#8217;s a nice try, but it falls short of being something memorable.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BLUE PUNCH (BLUE PUNCH)\" width=\"1320\" height=\"990\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0qK_E5C1Zi8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Once you get past <em>Juicy<\/em>, the quality improves. The remainder of the album is a much better fit for the theme Rocket Punch is following for this release. <em>SUMMER PUNCH!<\/em>, <em>TWINKLE STAR<\/em> and <em>THE THE<\/em> are definitely more along the lines of what one would expect when it comes to a summer type of song. <\/p>\n<p>Other than <em>Juicy<\/em> being on the weak sauce side, <strong>BLUE PUNCH<\/strong> is more of the same goodness from Rocket Punch. Whether that is a positive or not will depend if you want this group to try something outside of their established comfort zone. If you&#8217;re totally fine with what they&#8217;re doing then <strong>BLUE PUNCH<\/strong> should satisfy your Rocket Punch thirst quite nicely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BLUE PUNCH<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/1V1QotYL18t1kflVEcVLxd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-65666 \" src=\"https:\/\/selective-hearing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Spotify-Logo.png\" alt=\"Spotify Logo\" width=\"121\" height=\"45\"><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/geo.music.apple.com\/us\/album\/blue-punch-ep\/1525646977?itsct=music_box&amp;amp;itscg=30200&amp;amp;at=1010lxtp&amp;amp;ls=1&amp;amp;app=music\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-76957\" src=\"https:\/\/selective-hearing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Listen-on-Apple-Music-US.jpg\" alt=\"Listen-on-Apple-Music-US\" width=\"130\" height=\"37\"><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/geo.music.apple.com\/us\/album\/blue-punch-ep\/1525646977?itsct=music_box&amp;amp;itscg=30200&amp;amp;at=1010lxtp&amp;amp;ls=1&amp;amp;app=music\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-76958\" src=\"https:\/\/selective-hearing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Listen-on-Apple-Music-badge-JP.jpg\" alt=\"Listen-on-Apple-Music-badge-JP\" width=\"130\" height=\"37\"><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/geo.music.apple.com\/us\/album\/blue-punch-ep\/1525646977?itsct=music_box&amp;amp;itscg=30200&amp;amp;at=1010lxtp&amp;amp;ls=1&amp;amp;app=music\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-76956\" src=\"https:\/\/selective-hearing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Listen-on-Apple-Music-KR.jpg\" alt=\"Listen-on-Apple-Music-KR\" width=\"130\" height=\"37\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BLUE PUNCH is the third EP from Woollim Entertainment&#8217;s Rocket Punch and it features the song Juicy as its lead single.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":273,"featured_media":78555,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,5],"tags":[52,34,1602],"class_list":["post-76951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","category-music-reviews","tag-k-pop","tag-review","tag-rocket-punch"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.selective-hearing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.selective-hearing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.selective-hearing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.selective-hearing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/273"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.selective-hearing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=76951"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/test.selective-hearing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76951\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":76966,"href":"https:\/\/test.selective-hearing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76951\/revisions\/76966"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.selective-hearing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/78555"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.selective-hearing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=76951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.selective-hearing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=76951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.selective-hearing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=76951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
