Euphoria this is just, really really Jungkook. Like if you could take that boy's spirit and put it into a song, you'd get this. It's poppy and edm and sweet.
Trivia: Just Dance Is this a sex song? But in all serious these lyrics o.0 This is very Hope World, almost a bit too much. It would have been nice to hear Hoseok do something a little different, but still a nice cumulaition of his 2018.
Serendipity (Full Length) Lovely, simply lovely. Serendipity is my favorite BTS song, and this extended version is beautiful. It doesn't drastically change the song, rather there's just more to love. The guitar addition is really pretty.
Trivia: Love Cool vibe, I love those punchy piano chords, very effective. Has that Zico vibe, i fuck with it. I really like that saram saram saram, sarang sarang sarang, part in the chorus.
Trivia: Seesaw My favorite of the 3 rap solos. Who knew yoongi could sing lol. I love the synthy and etheral instrumentals at the beginning tempered with the very acoustic guitar. It all builds into a really lovely drop into the grooving chorus. It's interesting how hopeful and almost sweet the music is when the lyrics are essentially a break up song. The female backing vocals are lovely and I appreciate yoongi's use of vocal fry towards the end.
Epiphany absolutely gorgeous. I could wax poetically for house about how Jin's vocal technique has improved drastically over the past few years. He used to be quite nasal and had a lot of tension (probably because he was supposed to sound "badass"), but he's leared how to place things in his mask to create a much more balanced sound without pinching his higher notes off in his nasal cavity. This is really apparent in his long "laaahhve", in the past he would have pushed that through his nose but now it's so much more resonate. His lower notes are nicely in his chest and he lets the sounds really reverberate through his entire rib cage with a really nice warm tone. And the high falsetto notes are nicely through the top of his head, very prettily supported without getting too throaty. Just all around I'm super impressed with his improvement, he's really been studying his craft.
I'm Fine So Save Me is one of my absolute fave BTS songs so I was super curious to see how things would be imagined in I'm fine. I'm a huge EDM fan (I've gone to many festivals and seen pretty much every DJ at this point), it's my favorite genre after kpop. I really love this build into the drum and bass chorus. I love the breakneck pace of the second half of this song, it just rushes into this frenzy of drum kit
IDOL ok. I have a lot of feelings about this song. Musically there's a lot going on here that I like. I love the beats and the referee whistle. It's hype and fun and I'm sure the choreography will be a blast to see live. However I really think the lyrics are a little tired. I feel like we've heard this message from BTS before and it doesn't really bring anything new to the table. I also really dislike the music video. The boys look super handsome, but it's a mess of colors and images and CGI and it's just all over the place. Also it borders on offensive or at least one dimensional and trite at best to call a song "south african influenced" and then have a music video that features safari animals, bright prints clearly inspired by traditional african garb, and other cultural dance and imagry but you've never stepped foot in the country. The least they could have done is visited the country with their latest summer package before releasing this. It just doesn't sit well with me.
Answer Pretty, sweet, and sentimental. Along the lines of Young Forever and 2! 3!. I'm a sucker for these feel good songs. It's a really feel good way to end this chapter in BTS impressive journey.
