I made it pretty clear in my review of The Velvet last month that I think Red Velvet are the best rookie group in K-pop, but Lovelyz definitely aren't far behind: cute but not cloying, breezy but not shallow, bright but with a melancholic twist — the group have established a charming sound that lets them stand out from other girl groups musically, and despite its title suggesting otherwise A New Trilogy continues with the sound that Lovelyz have built-up so far.
