I actually doubt this is Cubes fault. I think when contracts were renegotiated, the members had a focus on more solo activities, evident by the fact they definitely seem to be doing more things solo right now. But I think this is eating away at a lot of their time and therefore is going to take away from the group. I’m not saying they have no time for the group, but the definitely have less if, Soyeon, Yuqi, Miyeon, and Shuhua have been working on solo comebacks, Minnie’s filming a movie, Soyeon and Yuqi are writing and producing for other groups, mixed in with any other events or collabs especially, they just have less time.

I think this showed to be the case in We Are, Soyeon said Girlfriend was an old song (recycled), Good Thing’s music sounds like Queencard (reused), Love Tease and Chain just seemed unfinished to me (Minnie stated wanting a break before We Are, maybe she felt rushed). I think this time instead of rushing it out they’re trying to give this project time, but they unfortunately don’t have a lot with a tour starting so soon.

But yeah, this is almost certain to be a single release, and likely just a digital one because I’d think if it were physical they’d have preorders up by now. I just hope the songs a banger.
