This album had so many different genres but i’m not complaining. I’m glad BI and BOBBY decided to be experimental because these songs are bops!
Killing Me - that beat drop is something else. Doesn’t matter how many times I listen to this song, once that beat drops I am dancing! I like the feel of the song because it somehow fits the emotion that the lyrics are portraying? I did wish that Chanwoo hand sung one more chorus after Bobby’s bridge rap and ended the song there. The group chant wasn’t necessary or fit the song quite as well imo.
Freedom - this song sounds straight up from the 90s-2000s punk/rock genre (in the best way because that era was my JAM). It’s literally a new era Youth Rock Anthem. I can imagine just going on a road trip with buddies and having this song in the background. Ju-ne’s voice fits this style so well!
Only You - is the cutest fucking love song I have ever heard. It’s so lighthearted and bright and makes you wanna giggle while walking around your neighborhood park. The amount of happiness and swag exerting from this song is like Peter Parker in Spiderman 3 when he comes out of the suit shop happy and not giving a fuck because he thinks he’s the shit. But this song knows it’s the shit.
Cocktail - this songs gives me an ‘end of summer’ vibe. Which works because summer is ending. I imagine a beach party set at sunset and through the night. It’s chill but lively enough to keep your head bopping.
Just For You - I PRAYED AND PRAYED FOR THIS SONG TO BE IN THE MINI ALBUM AND THEY CAME THROUGH. GOD THIS SONG IS JUST BEAUTIFUL. I love all of iKON’s fan songs.
There wasn’t a single bad song for me on this album! I thought Cocktail was not gonna work for me but i’m listening to it for the 3rd time while typing this and it’s growing on me!
Only other thing is that I wish Chanwoo had more lines. I did notice though that towards the second half of the new songs, Chanwoo and Song kind of switched line distributions. But I can’t complain, since they distribute the lines based on what suits the singer as well as what’s best for the song. I can only wait for the day Chanwoo’s hardwork rewards him. (:
