reviewing may’s comebacks (in june, because i have shit to do)

There were a lot of comebacks this month. I guess it's summer now? No idea, there's no summer in my country. The girl groups have started coming back in full force but are not impressing. The boy groups seemed to mostly go the groovy route and now I need an adjective other than 'groovy' to describe songs.

Not The End, Highlight

I'm so glad it's not a ballad. It's not bad.

You are so beautiful, SGO

Everyday I'm grateful for the retro trend and this is a great representation.

Gray Area, Hi Cutie

At some sections I like this song (the verses and the chorus) and at others I dislike it (the trap breakdown, the middle of the chorus). I complained about MAJORS' company having no money previously but Hi Cutie's company is bankrupt. Poor nugus.

Dreamcatcher and GWSN have far superior 'Red Suns' but this song is okay and I'm happy the girls look so happy to have some work (and hopefully some money) at last.

Today, CITI

A nice midtempo song. And no, I did not hear it first from a drama OST.

Make Up Your Mind, AILEE

Sounds like a Beyonce-type song.

MALO, SHAX

Apparently this is a drama OST (Imitation, to be specific. It's based on a webtoon). Basic boy group song but it sounds like it's from the 2010s or something, and that's a compliment.

Hot Sauce, NCT Dream

Initially: Um...at least Renjun looks good? Honestly I don't know what to say about this song. NCT is a group I stan so this will definitely grow on me but...is this really not an advertisement for hot sauce? Also the set resembles the set for SHINee's Atlantis in my opinion. Now: The shouting is annoying and unnecessary. Love Chenle's voice in this; it provides a nice contrast to Haechan and Renjun. Someone said the chanting should've been left to the rappers and I fully agree. Don't know about Jisung and Jaemin but Jeno and Mark would be a good fit with a chant. In my opinion the dance break isn't really needed but is it NCT without a dance break? Also, wtf are they wearing around their necks? Someone should inform the SM stylists that less is really more.

DUN DUN DANCE, OH MY GIRL

It's light and pleasant but if this song was a meal it would be a tiny appetizer that tastes good but doesn't satiate you.

WHATEVER, KEEMBO

I didn't think I'd like it at first but this is groovy and makes me want to dance while doing my chores.

Always, VAV

Song for the fans but if you need a VAV song to listen to I recommend Gorgeous.

Hurt, Baekhyun & Seomoontak

Hasn't Baekhyun been shipped off to the army yet? Anyway, love how dramatic this is.

Waiting for Victor, 015B ft. Dawon

Another great retro song! Also the singer is cute and her hair is cute as well. She reminds me of Chuu a little.

Uncertainty Principle, 015B ft. Dawon

I prefer their other song, but this one is retro as well and it's great.

척하면 척, 강혜연 (Kang Hyeyeon)

Trot that's kind of subdued but still danceable.

Badly, SURA

Loved it from the first second.

BLACK MIRROR, ONEUS

Then: Is it good enough to make up for No Diggity? I don't know about that, but this song is groovy and I'm somewhat okay with it. Doesn't have much replay value for me though. Now: Eh, it's basic groovy boy group song but I won't skip if it comes on.

Breathe Again, BLITZERS

Another boy group with a somewhat questionable name. This song is pretty good as a debut and it's somewhat memorable. I wonder if my rating increeased because of the guitars? District 9 was the same for me, but right now it doesn't interest me. I think this song will stay for a good while on my playlist though. I like the anthemic vocals in the chorus and this song needed more of that.

EASY, WJSN THE BLACK

The girls looked good but the storyline kept getting interrupted by shots of the girls. Yes, we know they're all visuals but I'd be more interested if there was actual action and plot. The song is good objectively but doesn't really interest me. Who knows? Maybe a few more listens will change my mind.

Outerspace (ft. Loco), Kang Daniel

Groovy and better than his last two releases.

Giant, Yuqi

So nice to hear Yuqi's voice on its own. The song was fine until the chorus crushed all my love for it.

Glass of Tears, HONG JA

Appropriately dramatic for a song named 'glass of tears'. It's good and if you like trot you'll like this one.

Taste of Life, Yang Ji Eun

What do you call this? Folk trot? Whatever it's called, it's good.

LOOK AT ME, ICU

OK.

WE GO, fromis_9

It sounds like the token girl group summer song. I don't dislike it, but nothing about this song stands out to me. Honestly with a mini-album called '9Way Ticket' I expected more, because it reminds me of Nine Muses' Ticket everytime I see it. The b-side 'Airplane Mode' is pretty good though and the other one, 'Promise' is a slow song but I don't really mind it, it's fine as background music.

Next Level, aespa

Umm...what is SM's plan for these girls? How can a rookie group from the big 3 have only 3 songs? And only one is an original? The song is not the best thing ever and SM surely can do better but at least it wasn't as bad as M.A.F.I.A. aespa deserves more than this.

Ring Ring, ROCKET PUNCH

Finally after Bim Bam Bum these girls have a title track I enjoy. You can't go wrong with covering Take On Me, can you? It's no Platonic Love or Sea of Moonlight, and it certainly could have done without the rubbish trap section but it's a bop anyway. Meanwhile, the b-side Ride is great and I hope they promote it. This song would be more enjoyable if their voices weren't so shrill in the chorus. High notes aren't a necessity for good songs.

Advice, Taemin

Not the best of Taemin but it's good. I love the fast tempo of the piano and the way it drives everything. Taemin's performance also elevates this song and I'm grateful he's leaving us with a good song before going on his two-year vacation.

RUB-A-DUM, TRI.BE

They're really going all out with this 'tribe' thing, aren't they? It sounds very Middle Eastern to my ears at times, sometimes it sounds African-ish and the other times it is just typical trap kpop. DOOM DOOM TA was better and more fun. At least they got the catchy catchphrase right. Blackpink in your area who? Tri-bee da loca! The b-side 'LORO' is not much fun either. The only difference is it's Latin-influenced.

Shadow, Dreamcatcher

Typical Dreamcatcher song slowed down by a lot. It's not bad, plus it's nice to hear Dami sing. Also what is it with Korea and zombies? With the MV the song sounds a lot better but the MV distracts me. Shouldn't zombies be mindless? How do they use tools and know martial arts? Or is it just my eyes? And can that tiny gun protect anybody? Are you sure that's not a toy?

The beginning of spring, E'LAST U

Not horrible but not for me either.

Oh MAMA, BLING BLING

One of the few new ggs in a while with unfortunate names. They've clearly upgraded in terms of styling and MV budget, but their song quality is no different.

Let Me Know, PIXY

Sonically it sounds nothing like their dark concept. Actually it does sound like a dark concept, if done by a boy group. It's not bad but it's not good. The industrial-like sounds in the back are interesting but the whole song is not.

Son of Beast, TO1

TOO rebrands as TO1 with this song. It's groovy.

HAPPEN, Heize

For the first time I like a Heize song. The MV is interesting too, the story was cliche but I liked the visuals and aesthetics.

FEVER, ENHYPEN

Rhis song was from the [BORDER: CARNIVAL] mini. I listened to that mini but I remember not really liking any of the b-sides except the outro and the intro, so this is a surprise.

My Flower, Kim Jaehwan

Nice upbeat song with guitars all over it. I like it.

Corazon Perdido, Yesung (Super Junior)

Initially I wasn't going to review this because I didn't even review the title track but the final moments of this song are beautiful and it deserves a mention.

Butter, BTS

The song is smooth as its title. The MV is fine except for that ARMY thing; I cringed so hard.

Bonnie and Clyde, Yuqi

Better than the other one.

Ride, ROCKET PUNCH

This is so great and I'm glad it got its own video, even if it was just a dance video glorified as a 'Special Stage'. Now if only I could stop chuckling whenever I hear "looks rike a lainbow".

Rush Hour, GAHO

Love it, especially the guitar strumming moments and the chorus when the electric guitar comes in.

GEMINI, AB6IX

Love how the vocals don't distract from the great instrumental.

FIRST, EVERGLOW

In a comment section someone said La Di Da was a fluke and I kind of agree. Everglow returns to their usual style (chanty chorus + catchy riff repeated over and over) and this song is in the same vein as Adios. I like the chorus but the rest of the song is hard to recall. Siyeon, Aisha and Yiren are the only ones who actually look good and EU needs more lines and her blonde hair back. Also why does kpop think that moving the camera around a lot creates the illusion of motion? All it does is make me dizzy.

Like It Hot, GWSN

Sometimes I like GWSN title tracks, and sometimes I don't. I don't think much of this song, but their album is great.

Je T'aime, Joy

I love you Joy but this is boring. If it was meant to be a lullaby then SM succeeded.

Burned All Black, Kim Jaehwan

His other song is a ballad which is somewhat pleasant. Well, it was until it slowed down in the first chorus.

Purple, woo!ah!

Still not one song from woo!ah! I like.

GGOMA, Tae Ho (IMFACT) and Choi Ye Geun

Loved Choi Ye Geun's Scarecrow so I was happy to see her again. The song is groovy but the chorus sounds somewhat...empty? Love the scat at the end, should've been longer. This is also a great example of a bright boy group song. See? Upbeat and bright boy group concepts don't have to be childish.

DIAMOND, Sparkling

Another Imitation OST. I honestly doubt that there are actual kpop songs as bad as this.

7days Tension, Weeekly

Ad song. Bright and the chorus is nice.

0X1=LOVESONG (I Know I Love You), TXT feat. Seori

The angsty opening line caught my attention, then the verse after it dropped the energy. It picked up again in the chorus and pre-chorus, thankfully. It's very much pop rock, except there are no guitars in this. Doesn't stop the song from being good though.

Hello, Joy

I love Joy's voice as always but this song doesn't do much for me even though it's upbeat. A few more listens might change my mind.

Call Me, Omega III

Another Imitation OST. Doesn't do much for me, just like all the Imitation MVs. At least let us understand what your drama is about. Instead we get these random shots of what idols are supposed to be like? I don't know much about idol life but it's obvious these girls would be called nugus in real life, and I honestly doubt nugus have such nice living conditions.

No Answer, LA LIMA

Jiyeon from T-Ara is on this one. This and MALO are my favourites from the Imitation OST so far. The song is nice with a sleek catwalk vibe to it but like the rest the MV is boring.

Show Me, Tea Party

Are these the Omega III girls? Not sure but I think so. MV still boring, song doesn't interest me.

Let me go!, The Volunteers

Great rock song, I just wonder why it's all in English (I'm not complaining).

when I was 10-12 yo I thought running around with the top 2-3 buttons of your shirt undone was the hottest and sexiest thing a dude could POSSIBLY do.

and now with kyunghos fit in the studio choom for no more x, that feeling is coming back. my present day self and my pre teen self are vibing rn.

10 years old? When I was 10 I wasn’t even thinking about guys omggg. But yes I agree, just the top couple buttons, super yummy. I like when they do that and then wear a necklace or five and I like um. Yes thank you.

Kyungho is so yummy when I started listening to to1 after I watched the Son of a Beast mv I was having an entire moment for two hours over Kyungho it was crazy and I miss those days.

#asks #to1 #kyungho is so big too like wtf #I used to be like ‘aww he’s a cute bub uwu’#and now I am thirsty for him uwu

TO1 (티오워) comes back stronger with their hard-hitting “Son Of Beast” MV.

By Rosa Gulliver of TINYGMUSIC | 20th May 2021

TO1 has returned after changing their name from TOO (티오오), an acronym for "Ten Oriented Orchestra" to TO1 (티오원) TOgether as 1. They are a 10-member boy group consisting of Jaeyun (재윤), Chihoon (치훈), Donggeon (동건), Chan (찬), Jisu (지수), Minsu (민수), J.You (제이유), Kyungho (경호), Jerome (제롬), and Woonggi (웅기). The group is managed by WAKE ONE ENTERTAINMENT, having switched from Stone Music Entertainment, and n.CH Entertainment. They were formed through the survival show ‘World Klass,’ and officially debuted on 1st April 2020 with their first mini-album, 'Reason for Being:Benevolence.’

youtube

TO1 released their first comeback mini-album ‘RE:BORN’ and a music video for the title track “Son of Beast” produced by Christian Fast, Andreas Öhrn, and Royal Dive.

“Son of Beast” is a pop dance track with hints of R&B and hip hop. Now that they’ve been “reborn” as a “beast,” TO1 (티오원) expresses their determination to keep challenging themselves and heading out into the world.

youtube

TO1 (티오원) debuted on 1st April 2020 with their debut mini-album, ‘Reason for Being:Benevolence.’ with “Magnolia” as the title track.

On 12th June 2020, TOO announced they would be making a comeback on 15th July with their second mini-album titled ‘Running TOOgether’ with "Count 1, 2" as the title track.

youtube

On 13th January 2021, it was reported that CJ ENM had terminated their contract with n.CH Entertainment seven months after TOO's debut and the agency was ordered to withdraw all management work for the group.

They performed at ‘KCON:TACT 3’ on 28th March 2021 and announced, TOO had changed their name to TO1.

Son of Beast” is a hard-hitting track compared to their previous track “Count 1, 2.” Much of its edge has a funk overtone, energetic and in keeping with other tracks released this year with the bass guitar opening the song. It is an instant classic, the amount of hooks and the sheer level of funkiness this track exudes shows us how music was back then. The song’s hook is repetitive, captivating, and addictive. The composition is exquisite. The synth and pianos are very creative in creating this pop smash hit. The chorus is perfect for the track. The lyrics are infused with TO1’s own story of never backing down from challenges and were co-written by

makeumineworks‘ Kim Eungju, Bae Sunghyun, and 2mm. TO1 members Chihoon and J.You also contributed to the song’s lyrics. “Son of Beast” has more high points than low. It’s a solid rebirth for this promising young group. Glad to see they were allowed to make this comeback.

Their sharp and powerful dancing in the music video showcases their strong performance skills as previously seen on programs “World Klass” (the survival show that created them) and, more recently, “Road To Kingdom.”

youtube

RE:BORN’ is an eight-track mini-album with songs that span various genres and highlights the group’s new chapter with growth and an upgraded image. Member Chan, along with Chihoon and J.You, participated in penning lyrics for almost every song on the album. Additionally, an English version of “Son of Beast” and the TO1 version of TOO’s debut album B-side “Don’t Fear Now” are included on the album.

Surf ‘Surf’는 몽환적인 분위기의 리듬과 파워풀한 퓨쳐 신스 사운드가 조화롭게 어우러진 미디움 템포의 Pop Dance 장르의 곡으로, 거친 파도를 넘어 태양이 떠오르는 수평선까지 가겠다는 의지와 포부를 거칠고 위험한 파도일수록 더 끌리는 ‘서핑’이라는 테마에 비유하여 감각적으로 녹여냈다. 05. Hello Goodbye 'Hello Goodbye’는 따듯한 봄이 연상되는 메인 기타 리프가 인상적인 퓨쳐 하우스 장르의 곡으로 스트럭쳐 마다의 기승전결의 변화가 돋보임은 물론 감성 넘치는 도입부와 개성 넘치는 랩파트 뿐만 아니라 청량하면서도 파워풀한 구성의 후렴의 멜로디가 감수성 넘치는 가사와 어우러져 새롭게 펼쳐질 TO1 (티오원)의 내일을 기대하는 메시지를 담아냈다. 06. 너만 있다면 (With You) '너만 있다면 (With You)'은 따뜻한 기타 리프와 서정적인 멜로디가 조화롭게 돋보이는 미디움 발라드곡으로, ‘길을 잃어 헤매어도 너만 있다면 웃을 수 있어’라는 진심 어린 노랫말과 함께 팬들을 향한 감사와 사랑의 마음과 결속의 의미를 한편의 아름다운 영화의 한 장면을 보는듯한 회화적이고 따뜻한 사운드로 표현한 곡이다. 07. Son of Beast (English Ver.) 타이틀곡 ‘Son of Beast’의 영어번안곡 08. 피어나 (TO1 Ver.) 강렬하고 웅장하게 재탄생 시킨 ‘피어나 (TO1 Ver.)’는 퓨쳐베이스를 기반으로 파워풀한 베이스와 기타 사운드가 어우러진 곡으로, 강렬하고 웅장한 도입부와 함께 드라마틱한 비트의 변주로 TO1 (티오원)의 남성미를 한층 더 강조하며 멤버들의 새로운 매력을 보여주는 곡이다.
