Cherry Bullet is a new-generation girl group under FNC entertainment, who house artists like AOA and FT Island. Their debut album 'Let's Play: Cherry Bullet' features their titular track 'Q&A' which FNC hopes can encapsulate the public in their cuteness. Cherry Bullet's concept is video games hence the abundance of pixels, 8-bit icons, and sound effects in their music videos, and obviously their music.

Today I'll be listening to Q&A alone, but the entire album also has two other tracks on it which I wasn't particularly interested in, and decided to focus on Q&A on its own as I have much to talk about.

0:02 - I love the 'Q1... Q2... Q3... Q4' adlib in the back to give the main vocal some body and not have the composition be so flat, as the instrumentals are very muted so far.

0:18 - Vocal explosion, there's so much natural reverb and echo in the high notes and it's amazing to hear, it's a good contrast from the bland and subdued tone of the intro.

0:26 - I love that the adlibs continue with the earlier rhythm but this time with a lot more happening in the instrumentals to really amp up the volume and energy.

0:34 - This pre-chorus has a cheerleader vibe to it, I also love that they continue with the harmonized adlibs and also keep those subdued instrumentals, it emphasises the sweet and bubbly voices of the girls singing.

0:43 - There is the explosion of pop and color I was anticipating. There's so much rich vibrant airy sparkly instrumentals combined with the sweet and innocent vocals from the girls which is an awesome contrast to the suppressed and shy composition of the first verse.

0:59 - I love this little "dadadada" bit as it's very catchy and easy to sing along to, it's a memorable note in this extended chorus.

1:16 - I like that this second verse resembles the first verse's composition but this time with more energy happening in the actual lyricism and the vocals. Where the first verse built up the hype and energy slowly, this second verse is more soulful and heartfelt singing yet stil combined with that subtle and smooth instrumental.

1:40 - I love the choice to put another member do this chorus. It catches the listener off guard because you typically expect the same person to do the chorus but they chose to make another member sing to spice the second chorus up and prevent it from being too stale and repetitive, even though the song itself is admittedly very catchy.

2:14 - This bridge is nice and calming compared to the heavy hitting bubbly vibes from the earlier verse and the choruses which is nice as it showcases the vocal ability of the girls, and also gives us the listeners some breathing room so we're not too choked in the cuteness of it. I also love the use of reverb to realy give the vocals some body and heart to make the singing here feel very wide and open to give this bridge an airy feel.

2:30 - Again with the cheerleader vibes, this is such a preppy and prominent bridge because of the harmonisation from the girls, they're all in sync and the instrumental dips are even synced up with the ends of the girls' lyrics to give the vocals some more impact and punch.

2:47 - This final chorus is so great as it has all the cuteness and bubbliness from the previous choruses with the addition of some minor adlibs from the girls just to spice up this final chorus hit one last time.

I absolutely love this debut song. Q&A is so bubbly, cute, and fun which is exactly what I'm into, so Cherry Bullet's debut song is right up my alley. I love the chord progression in the song with how stable the energy buildup is. The vocal ability of the girls is so great too, I love how talented their voices are yet they're all still very youthful.

I'll definitely be following this group if their song concepts follow the some formula as Q&A, it's a mix of their concept style and their feminine and pure voices that makes me enjoy their music. Especially with the sparkly and vibrant instrumentals to add to the already shiny and bubbly composition.
