Review of "Fast Forward" by JEON SOMI

Jeon Somi makes an emphatic return with her first mini-album in two years, "Game Plan", featuring the lead single "Fast Forward". The deep house track, composed by Teddy, Vince, R.Tee, and Bekuh Boom with lyrics by Somi herself, is a cool dance club track with an infectious beat and empowering message about finding true love in the future. 

The music video is an amazing display of Somi's polished choreography and assured on-stage persona. Scenes switch between Somi as a shy schoolgirl going through her first breakup and a glamorous pop diva swaying in a shady nightclub, symbolizing the relationships and journey one must take to find "the one."

"Fast Forward" is the product of Somi's sophisticated evolution of her signature upbeat sound, despite its initial generic or Western pop trend derivative appearance. The mini-album as a whole demonstrates impressive growth and versatility, from the cheeky flex of "Gold Gold Gold" to the raw post-breakup emotions on "Fxxked Up" and "The Way".

Overall, "Fast Forward" cements Jeon Somi's status as a K-pop solo queen. With her undeniable star power, bold fashion, and knack for irresistible pop hooks, she has proven herself a true solo artist. Fans can only hope she won't make them wait another two years for her next iconic era.
