#its one of my fave taemin title tracks

[colorisbyshe]

Monthly Music 08/24 Hehehe

Albums/Multi Song Section:

Taemin released a mini album. Honestly, listen to all of it, even the more ballad-y fare but honestly... Sexy In the Air is a track EVERYONE should give a shot. It's what it says on the tin--sexy. Highlights: Horizon, if you like Kavinsky but want a kpop, energy-infused twist, try this out! (ITS A REACH BUT!!). Crush has some MJ-esque delivery that is very enthralling. Deju Vu is for the people who want to feel songs vibrate in their bones and in their [redacted]

Tinashe released her follow-up to the (superior) BB/Angel! My faves are No Simulation, Thirsty, When I Get You Alone, + No Broke Boys. Chill, alt R&B. Ethereal, sensual. Tinashe and Taemin should collab or at least do choreo to each other's songs tbh. NBB is a modern reimagining of No Scrubs

Foster the People is baack. BIASED REVIEW because I'm a longterm fan. See You in the Afterlife (oddly cunty??), Feed Me (cuntier except some of the instrumental could've been produced on Gene Belcher's random sound keyboard), Paradise State of Mind (Tame Impala knock off, mayhaps), & Glitchzig (discordant, extraterrestrial).

Fromis_9, a kpop group, has had a mini release. Here's a mini review: Supersonic & Beat the Heat have a throwback appeal. Simple, joyful pop with a non-obtrusive vocal power behind it. Talent wins <3

JPEGMAFIA released a new album and it's... beyond explanation? Alt hip hop with an amazing infusion of rock, gospel, dance elements. Dark, funny, slick as hell. Highlights: i scream this in the mirror before i interact with anyone, sin miedo (my fave, I think), don't rely on other men, vulgar display of power, Exmilitary (great use of samples), JPEGULTRA! (denzel!!!!!!!!! HORNS!!!!!!!!1), either on or off the drugs (one of my faves, absolutely), & loop it and leave it. If you're like "that's a lot of songs," okay well the entire album is good. 9.9/10 album

Recent Releases:

"Feel The Way" Peggy Gou. Just a solid dance track.

Ibibio Sound Machine's Black Notes is groovy and vocally ascendant.

"Leave" Low Hanging Fruits is Krock that feels straight out like... mid 2000s alt-pop rock. Just lively and lovely.

My blog title was taken from a Chase & Status song, so of course I need to shout out their collab with Stormzy, "Backbone." Just goes hard, is grimy as hell, and goes WUB WUB.

Want something that goes harder? Petit Brabancon, Japanese metal supergroup, is back and "Gankou" is... growling and intense and also just kinda fun.

Not here for music that might be a bit scary? "Edge of Saturday Night" The Blessed Madonna, Kylie Minogue is some eurodance to take the edge off.

If you like that track, try "Urallineed" by Jazzi Bobbi for some vaguely dancy indie pop. Love her voice.

This could've gone on the album review but honestly... Monkey Majik's new album is kinda Maroon 5-y and doesn't deserve a full shout out but give HYLMN a listen if you want to hear a fun, misremembered rip off of Blur's Song 2. Also, I guess the song Imposter.

"Check" by Flo is like... the kpop tracks inspired by Tinashe but... not kpop. Does that make sense? American, Fifth Harmony-esque song that feels like a kpop GG ripping off American Tinashe. A perfect feedback loop. Delectable.

"Out of Touch" Four Year Strong. Throwback, pop punk sound with a modern flourish.

"Nissan Altima" Doechii. As a Nissan driver, I had to rec this lmao. Great song, great flow, GET YA TITS SUCKED

"Tokyo" Sable Hills. Screamo :3 The guitar fucks

Older tracks: Keep Away by Carly Rae Jepsen (song to sway to), Bloom by Macico (the Japanese sound Harry styles tried to rip off), Thanks for Your Time by Gotye (dour and sensual) and Miss Fatty by Million Stylez (music to shake your ass to)

Posting this early because I know more music (Chungha, Bree Runway) is coming and uhhhh this post is already too full

[romanticnoir]

My opinions on Taemin’s Guilty that no one asked for but I will give anyway.

Very very long post ahead

Taemin came and saved kpop I loved it. His album was truly amazing. I mean no one does it like him.

Every album he’s ever done has been carefully created by him and you can tell he puts his whole heart into each of them. I am extremely proud of him and everything he does. He really loves his art and it feels authentic to himself.

He has restored my love for Korean music that was missing for at least half of this year.

Guilty is the perfect title track he did so well with everything the aesthetic of the video the DANCE????! out of this world I am just so impressed by everything he does. I am not just saying this because he’s one of my ults but because he truly is a talented person who’s passion for his art is just so visible to us who don’t even know him personally. This song is genius I love it the lyrics the beat the dance everything is just perfect.

THE RIZZNESS IM AFRAID THESE TIKTOK GIRLIES JUST DONT FUCKING GET IT UGHHHH I swear to god this song is soooooo good and the dance is so hot like I understand using this word unironically might be silly BUT IT STILL WORKS BECAUSE ITS FUCKING LEE TAEMIN. The audacity to laugh at TAEMIN when your faves be singing shit that makes no sense or proudly saying that songs were written by them and it still be making no sense… and I mean the fact that we know why the hate train was started for Taemin and BY WHO. But I’m not here to talk about untalented ppl who can only go around because they have a pretty face.

She Loves Me She Loves Me Not it’s so good. One of my fave songs in the album the lyrics are my favorite thing I am obsessed with this song. I think it’s not a style we normally hear taemin do and he just pulled it so well.

Not over you is MY FAVORITE SONG. I know everyone have their own interpretations. It’s fine I’ll take it the literal way it sounds and it’s a heartbroken person. I’m a simple minded person who can’t get into deep theories my brain just doesn’t work that way. I love sad songs angsty media is what I live for. I just love the sorrowful sound of this song.

I think placing Night Away after Not Over You is just so perfect because not only is the beat STILL has a deep sad feeling but with a hint of light that even without reading the lyrics you can feel that things might be getting better for that broken heart you can start seeing that light at the end of the tunnel.

And then with Blue it really feels like things will finally be better and good and like he will finally find happiness.

The album starts in a almost angry tone to sad to and an ending with finding peace I absolutely love this album he truly did so great

I truly don’t think there are other idols like Taemin he’s so talented at everything he do. He’s so loved by everyone and it’s like it’s so obviously clear why. He’s really a role model to the newer generations of idols.

Today being the last day for Guilty promo I wanted to talk about the album. I am so proud of Taemin and I truly hope that he can continue to do what he loves more.

[sanstropfremir]

akwjjs i come to your blog after watching kingdom everytime and i love reading what you have to say because you're smart. as a fan of the boyz, i just want to see them with a garden concept, pretty flowers in their hair and yellow/pink/orange outfits while singing bloom bloom. also i got curious about the gates of hell(? it might be something different but you mentioned it on the skz review) thing taemin did. if you could point me out to whatever that was i'd be very very happy cause i really want to check it out lmao

omg anon!!!!! you flatterer!!!! thank you!!!

i did mention the gates of hell! it’s a sculpture by rodin based off of dante’s inferno. his most famous sculptures, the kiss and the thinker, actually originated from the gates of hell, as he worked on and off on it for almost 40 years. taemin uses it specifically in the music video for want, at 3:02! i’ve actually gone off a little bit about want before here when someone asked me about the purposeful awkwardness of taemin’s choreography, but now i get a chance to talk about the visuals!!

as a sculpture the gates of hell is an incredible piece of art. there’s something like 180 figures and it’s SIX metres tall. it’s a physically impressive work and taemin is correct in (really only mildly) exaggerating its scale when it appears out of the darkness at the end of the video. taemin has spent this whole song singing about how he can tempt you to anything and then the literal gates of hell materialize??? that by itself is enough, but there’s a few more fun facts to consider:

rodin specfically thought about the quote “abandon every hope, who enter here” from the inferno when conceptualizing the experience of looking at his sculpture.

although not true to any one scene in the inferno, the sculpture features references to many of the characters that dante encounters on his journey. one noteable set is that of francesca and paolo, two lovers he meets in the second circle (lust), who are trapped in an eternal whirlwind, chasing after each other but out of control, helpless to the forces of the winds. this is based off a true story of one of dante’s contemporaries, francesca de rimini, who had an affair with her husband’s younger brother for a decade.

taemin’s christian name is francesco.

sure are a lot of wind effects in the mv, eh?

tbh there’s SO much more, i haven’t even touched on the various face coverings and the magnifying glasses and the stages and the SNAKES but i’m gonna leave it here for now. anon please know i love you for sending this in and if you want me to spout more about taemin i happily will!!!

Breath of Love: Last Piece Overview

I FINALLY GOT MY GOT7 ALBUM!! I am beyond excited especially since I only bought one and got the Mark version (my ult bias 😍😍)!!! So yeah overall I’m very happy with the album although there are a few things that bother me or I’m just not happy with at all... and when I say this I mean the physical album because the music on this album is just incredible (I’ll give my opinions about that too here in a sec)

So first here is a little video I made showing the Mark photo book (it was a bitch trying to reduce the file size and upload this gosh I hate tumblr restrictions) but ANYWHO LOOK AT HOW BEAUTIFUL THIS MAN IS!!! (and also the song is Pillows by eaJ x Keshi because that songs is amazing and tell me it does not go well looking at this gorgeous human)

And here is some of the other stuff:

These adorable photo cards:

The poster (could not get a good pic cuz I’m a crappy photographer but you get the idea):

All of this:

Complaints:

There aren’t a ton of complaints I have with this album. Overall the photos are really great and the content is nice (was concerned with the member versions I wouldn’t get much of the other members but was very surprised with the bigger photo cards of all the members). One of the major problems I had was that some of the photos are cut off!! Especially with this one:

I can’t even see JB without pulling the book apart and ruining the spine... like if I were to tear this apart and hang it on my wall it would be ok but I do not want to do that! Idk it could have been planned better to where it wasn’t this extreme...

Another thing is there’s so much white space! Like some yes it is nice not to have clutter or anything but it just seems like half the book is blank... like looking at the song pages it had barely anything on there... like I guess I could put English versions of the lyrics in that space (I saw someone on Twitter had that idea) but I don’t know.. was just a little too much blank space for me...

Also the CD itself is just... there... in its own flimsy plastic package it’s ridiculous like it would be nice if they found a way to include it somehow (like my Day6 album is a book with the CD on the inside back cover, or even the Taemin album that has its own slip that slides into the album as a whole..) I get that people probably aren’t gonna use the CD (I mean I may download it or have it in my car) but come on... look at this:

And another thing which you can’t really see (and omg I have the keychain upside down my bad) is that my keychain is super foggy and scratched up... like it was a cute idea and I really like it but opening it to find it looked worn wasn’t great...

Anyway... onto the MUSIC! Here’s some of my thoughts on each of the songs:

Breath:

So happy and easy to listen to. Was hoping for more Lullaby or Just Right vibes with this comeback and this felt so much like that. And the whistling? Omg that made the song! Youngjae did such a great job. And blonde Jackson?! OMG (Not that they did not all look incredible)

Last Piece:

With this being JB's song no doubt it's amazing even before you hear it. The choreo is also really cool! My fave part may be Mark saying "so where you at" lol that verse was great...and honestly same but Jinyoung's part after wow them high notes he has in this album I’m loving it! I like the solo dances the transitions are really cool and ties it to the Breath video (Along with some of the lyrics). Regardless though great song!

Born Ready:

I love how this was supposed to be a solo song for Mark but he thought it would be better as a group project and I agree (even though the Mark stan in me is crying but love how he is still the focus of the song). Anyway, this is such a feel good song definitely gives me motivation listening to it.

Special:

Jackson really knows what he's doing... I mean would have to to be the first Chinese soloist to make it big in the US charts!!! (still so proud of him) Also love how so much of this is in English... as an international fan its a struggle. But yeah this song is amazing and fun, easily one of my favorites.

Wave:

I truly love this song... Jinyoung did such a great job...and Mark starting the song really was perfect (hopefully unbiased opinion). But this song is so sad and the lyrics so beautiful...this may be my favorite song on the album but its so hard to choose.

Waiting for You:

Bam did such a great job with this too... all of his music is great but was surprised he wrote something really deep and slowed down (like not a party song). Just shows you how many parts there are of him we don't know much about (even though we all know he is such a softie despite being sarcastic af). But this song is so nice to listen to...from the vocals to the instrumentals...amazing...

Thank you, sorry:

Yugyeom has a very distinctive style...it's not hard to point out his music. But that style really works for him! It's always nice and slow, relaxing, but still something you can dance to. It's really interesting hearing the members embrace this style...and they nailed it.

1+1:

I like how this song really ties into the title tracks with some of the lyrics... "puzzle piece, our love that fits perfectly".  It's also just so nice to listen to, they did a great job with this one.

I Mean It:

THE HARMONIES at the beginning!! OMG!! I absolutely love this song...it's so fun and creative and super sweet... such a perfect love song that feels new and not like something done a million times.

We Are Young:

This song sounds like a modern version of something they could've made years ago...it's got that old GOT7 feeling with a fresh sound...it's also super adorable and the chorus is so catchy. And Jinyoung's falsetto?? AHHH I have no words...like that was perfection.

I really love this album and it’s really special to me since this is the first kpop album I’ve purchased (used ktown4u had no issues and even came a day earlier than it said)! It gave me so much joy looking through everything while streaming their album... well worth the money spent!!!

I also bought Day6 The Book Of Us: The Demon and Taemin Never Gonna Dance Again: Act 1 so stay tuned if you wanna see those albums as wel!!

And if someone wants a more close up pic just lmk!!!

Thanks for reading of you made it this far! Love doing stuff like this!!

October/November kpop review

GOT7- 7 for 7: My underrated babies. You Are is the best title track since If You Do, they sold more albums first week than any of their previous comebacks, the styling is amazing, the choreography is beautiful and what happens? Their albums go out of stock too quickly, killing their chances of music show wins because their physical sales are too low. JYPE really fucking knows how to mismanage groups with great potential. 

SF9- O Sole Mio: Capitalizing on the Latin flair with the guitar and the choreography and perhaps trying to appeal even more to South America, SF9 really does get better and better with each release. I always look forward to their comebacks and have yet to be disappointed. Still haven’t learned their names but I suspect that will be changing soon. 

Ha:tfelt- I Wander: Another artist JYPE didn’t manage well. Her first solo album was gorgeous so I was looking forward to this release, even though she is under a new agency. YeEun’s vocals are amazing and I think she has really grown as a writer. 

Highlight- Can Be Better: Highlight are really out here living their best lives since leaving Cube and re-branding themselves. Their new stages and songs are so FUN and you can always see how much they enjoy performing. I don’t think this song is better than Plz Don’t Be Sad (in fact, it sounds very similar to it, to the point of almost being indistinguishable) but it’s a catchy little bop nonetheless. 

Taemin- Move: I’m not that into Shinee but this song is amazing??? On repeat on spotify. 

Twice- Likey: I know that Twice gets some heat for being a little one-note, their songs are all cutesy concept, vocals aren’t that strong..... but.... I don’t care. I will say that Sana’s voice is not my fave so opening the song with her, and opening with the chorus was a little jarring. However it was made up for with Momo’s dance break and ChaeDa’s rap. I wanted the rap to go on even longer. One day I will do a ranking of Twice title tracks. 

EXID- DDD: I feel like I say this every time I talk about EXID but Up & Down is the bar against which all subsequent songs will be measured. DDD almost lives up. I think it’s at least as good as Ah Yeah, and better than Hot Pink and LIE combined. Hani’s lavender hair is everything. LE remains a queen. 

Red Velvet- Peek A Boo: Red Velvet has been bringing it ever since Russian Roulette. I loved the rainbow dresses in the video, and Yeri’s short hair. Seulgi is still bae even though Irene and Joy are beautiful as well. The dance moves are really intricate and fun too. 

KARD- You In Me: My coed faves killing the game. This song is soooo much better than Hola Hola. I don’t know if it’s their best song, because Don’t Recall and Rumor are SO good, but you can definitely see their improvement. Jiwoo’s dance still leaves something to be desired, but her vocals were great. JSeph’s rap was also a standout. It probably won’t gain them fans in Korea but the Bmin and JJ couples being highlighted here was a huge plus for me. 

Pentagon- Runaway: Pentagon’s comebacks have been stronger lately. I think Runaway sounds similar to Like This but this song is actually better. This is a rookie group that seems to be finding its stride in the hyper-competitive boygroup market.

•즐겨 (I Like it) by CLC from Free'sm

•여름밤의 꿈 (Midnight Summer Dream) By Mamamoo from their Red Moon album (honestly all of those side tracks are amazing but this one is one of my faves)

•All of Nieah's songs (she's like really underated so I'm counting all of her songs as b-sides, alright) But she has a great voice so make sure you check out Nieah.

•Honestly all of SHINee's members solo tracks are good so just listen to all of them since its a lot and I don't feel like adding each individual song, my bad my guy

Honestly there's so many more songs I can add but I've been working on this for an Hour so here's what I got you my dude. Hope you like some of them! Trust me I have so many more recommendations but that'll take all day so just enjoy these that I could come up with from the top of my head.
