I want to see this because it's the song I like from the album! Performing a strong English version would have been a good look, but JYPE hasn't upgraded to that level for most on the roster yet.

Baekho (NU'EST) - Need It

Last Song Listened To

Quote from haj1ma

Isn't this genre called retro from the 80s I love this shit man, always gets me hooked.

They call it retro, but I think the sound reference for this particular Day6 song is somewhere in the 70's - 80's.

There is a band or two, or three, the track reminds me of but the names are not coming to me at the moment.

Good for them! Track for track, it's one of the most consistent albums I've heard on the male side of K-Pop; so far, that's just Day6 and SHINee.

They do sound good (as expected)! I'm not feeling the single though. I realize an English version of this particular title wouldn't be a strong move even though Day6 has been consistently effective with their English lyrics.

"Everyday We Fight", "One", and "So Let's Love" all check out! "One" is pretty lit from the start! Honestly, I could listen from Track #4 straight through Track #7. Not feeling the synths in "Only" and "Above The Clouds" though.

I think the electric guitar droned on for too long in "So Let's Love". I couldn't cozy up as closely to the song with sustained feels because of it. It sounded great intro-ing the song and when the beat stops after the chorus, but started to detract after certain singing parts began. The riff that played in the left audio channel during the chorus would have hit the spot if it were a little more prominent.

Something about the mininalism of the song during the verse feels so intimate and beautiful. Such a rarity for a guy group or band to pull off. Overall, it's still a good song too. Good job to the guys! 5/7 tracks is above the average!

A part 2? Sqweet! Goofing off more I see! I don't know why I thought Wonpy had on high-top retro Nikes. He def. scored points with the New Balances. I think the length of Jae-Day and YK's hair in the front is flattering; it works well for them! Wonpy's "worshipful eyes" shot almost cracked me! I had to cover my mouth so I wouldn't laugh!

The Denimalz getting a feature was cute! Jae-Day is giving off elven vibes in these scenes, but more vampire ones in the solo teaser; interesting! Very satisfying "Making of"! I think it would be cool if someday Day6 can get some kind of sponsorship from Targe' (Target); their trademarks are practically overlays of one another!

Nothing is impossible. Their team really needs to upgrade the group's English lyrics for the next mini-album portover. I'm not impressed. It would have been a savvier look in connection with their Maybelline adverts if the lyrics were more current.

That's cute! When I saw this screen cap, I got a flash of the Beetles' "Yellow Submarine" in my mind:

The MV does look appealing. I'm not 100% sold on the title song compared to 3 other mini-album cuts. Still a win if these songs check out, especially the closer.

I don't even listen to the original version because this one is so on point. I was listening through my Red Velvet catalog while doing some daily stuff and it hit me...if this song were in English, it would have been played on the radio!! It at least sounds like it!

There is a radio format called "Quiet Storm" that is historically one of the longest running programs still on WHUR 96.3 in Washington, DC. I was forced to listen to this station while riding around DC with someone who didn't like driving at night alone. That is how I learned about a lot of older songs. Here's a list of some Quiet Storm songs I found for anyone who likes to dig down and explore music.

That's one of the things that make Red Velvet such a special group and a "glitch in the matrix". They are connected to a deep legacy of American music through their music production. I didn't even realize it, I just knew it sounded good.

Speaking of Quiet Storm, here's a nice synchronicity. Vox did a mini-doc on it! It's a deeper dive into the rich history Red Velvet is connected to in a part of their music.

If SM wants to level up their international savvy and be more interculturally compentent, they should consider finding the right way to tribute and show appreciation for the people and music that is a part of their empire and groups' DNA:

Truly vocally talented musicians. Wonpy gave me slight chills during the acapella snip of Even of Day's "Where The Sea Sleeps". The two-part harmony with YK in the studio version (lyric, "Stay with me") still gives me chills. Songs like this and "I'm Serious" are built for a good acapella-only performance.

"Love Song" with The Blank Shop sounds like a classic!! If Day6 ever got the chance to jam with Carlos Santana, that would be dope!

Citizen Queen - No Ego 🔥

Last Western Song Listened To

The vocals make "So Let's Love" (Track #7) really POP! It sounds like a jewel!

I think "Only" (Track 4) and "Above The Clouds" (Track 5) would sound even better without the synths. "One" (Track 6) is still sounding like the dopest on the album! I still can't block out the visual of a discoball dropping out of the ceiling when I hear "Healer" (Track 3).

I think it is a good song that could feel great with some tweaks.

An endearing cute and amusing way I've heard someone say 'B2ST' is bee-toost.

....This song started blasting in my mind when I read the thread title:

• Dark Horse
• Roar
• Legendary Lovers
• California Gurls
• Wide Awake

Honorable Mention: Chained To The Rhythm

Nah. The industry needs more groups and soloists who will push the status quo of the music to being and sounding better.
