I'm also an orchid, and an old soul, so I agree with your opinion about the retro vibes that makes us fall in love with No Na...but I still support them to reach the wider audience with the current new generation vibes nonetheless.
As an Orchids, I was disappointed when I heard "Work" and "Sizzle"... But now I'm happy for No Na because they've gained a lot of new fans since then... Many online media are talking about them since "Work" ❤... Maybe this is their strategy to try various genres to gain a bigger fan base, so it's not just R&B, Retro fan club (?) ... I totally agree with you, it feels really good when they perform songs from the nostalgic era... I think that's what makes them different from other GG...
I'm glad Esther said in her TikTok live that the nostalgic songs Superstatious and Falling in Love always have a special place in her heart. She loves the 90s and early 2000s. I'm sure they will bring back the nostalgia era.
yeah I guess their strategy is to show that they're capable of doing various genres, and guess what, they are! ditto, i hope they'll visit rnb and slow song again in the future. best if there's an album with various new songs in it thanks for making this reaction, Pat!
I think you'll get your wish Pat with the release of Back Off. They are practicing the choreo for it which either means MV or live set soon. Maybe HITC?
13:55 My sentiment exactly! I'm with you 100%, as I'm sure manyof us are , despite the fact we understand they need to do the "Work" type of work for outreach and receptivity from wider audience.
For knee strength, I remember my coach mentioning something about working on your ass, hips, and thighs. They need to be both firm yet flexible at the same time. So, I guess you can start from there?
I know for a fact that my knees don't hurt when I drop like that.
As for the kneecaps (Pitella), yeah there's no way of getting around the pain. It will hurt either way (doubly so when you land them on solid surfaces).
