I kinda love the suspense <3
Tbh I don't see why everyone thinks GREEN and BALLAD are that much the same, they both have strings and traditonal asian elements here and there and she sings in the same key or whatever is the correct term but that's pretty much it for me really. Well, first of all GREEN is faster and has way more going on, and I personally don't qualify it as a ballad genre while BALLAD clearly is a ballad. Then, the mood and feeling is totally different. GREEN's arrangement is more aggressive and melancholic while BALLAD's is soft and wistful.

In my opinion though there are not two original songs in her discography that I think sound the same. (I definitely can't think of any at the moment. Hmm..) Lol I could probably write an essay about differences in songs that might seem similiar if someone asked me to though. It's amazing, but maybe it's just me who thinks that. There are only a couple of other artist that I think the same of, and none of them are generally qualified as "pop-artists".

Just my 2 cents!
