This accomplished boomer is makin' me change my mind about Butter, Seven and Cupid.

Quote from BlackpinkHouse

I've posted about this guy before, he is literally ME when ranting about modern music. Of course he is 10000x more talented and smarter than me, his music knowledge and instrument playing are off the charts, guy's a genius. Y'all MUST browse some of his vids when you can.

The funny thing is he echoes what i've said repeatedly about local pop music vs Kpop. He's no fanboy of any Kpop lol but he figured out the same thing i did - that Kpop actually still tries to make a REAL SONG, and not just a 2 minute sample or vamp that gets released as a "song" by local acts. He's very kind about it but it's clear he has the same complaints about modern pop as i do.

But check out what he says about Butter, Seven, and Cupid. He calls them real songs, with excellent production values, and even expresses moments of joy and real interest when listening to them. Now if these songs can impress a boomer even older than me, then maybe it's time for me to revisit them.

Interesting!

I like how he's playing along so quickly :)

Thanks for posting

Or maybe, those songs just ain't for you?

I personally think all 3 are bops, but ya know, sometimes not everything hits for everybody.

Taste. They're all bops ( including Cupid).

Considering what else was in the top 10 when he listened to Cupid, it would have come like Manna from Heaven. The highest praise was "it's an actual song" after listening to one trick reggaeton and afro-latin songs filling up the top 10.

I've been watching Rick Beato's videos for a while. He does some really good rock history stuff (if that's your jam).

So he'll do one of those every few months, and if Kpop song is high in the charts, guess you'll get his reaction.

i watched one of the videos, and this was the fisrst time i was actually exposed to the explicit version of seven and like i thought it was just a cute song about love, not a dirty song about xxxxxxx and im sort of in shock at this jk , im actually scandalized not in a bad way or anything i cant get mad at jk cause he is so cute but like that is sorta filthy

Oh I watch this dude videos’. He already did one for seven. Lemme check it out

All great songs!

This is just a side note, but I love how "Seven" is actually an R&B song. There's a whole upbeat side to R&B that people don't often think of, but "Seven" is absolutely an example of one.

It's kind of like how song of Red Velvet's faster, fun songs are still R&B.

Hi bestie! Quick question. When will AKP revert back to the "can't ever see blocked users ever" mantra??

Asking for myself

So you know what break me off means

Oh as he should. Seven is such a good song. But because it’s he all catchy and easy to listen to people take it for granted and assume the song is average

The production quality on seven especially when you stream on Apple Music, it’s something else. It’s a very well produced pop song that deserves all the accolades

with all due respect

different strokes for different old folks???

if you like a song just like it and enjoy it - you don't need to seek validation from anybody else to enjoy said song

and vice versa if you don't like a song there's no need to go above and beyond trying to somehow force yourself to enjoy it
