TRACK 1: DANCING ANYWAY
PRODUCER: KLOZER
COMPOSER: KLOZER, erick Serna and Jack Samson
ARRENGER: KLOZER
LYRICIST: Cho YunKyoung
THE LYRICS MEANING: Choosing joy and connection even if that makes you vulnerable because there's is no time to waste into "finding the right moment" to just keep daning anyway
THE VIBE: It's giving earlier 2016 summer day party
CONCLUSION:
Falsetto-han is back yall! The first track set the bar, i love the instrumental, the production really leaned into the "not carring" vibe;
Seughan carried the song in term of "transmitting the feelings into the song", you can feel the "vulerabily" in the 1st part of the song but as it keeps playing there's a transition into that feeling of letting go, which is so well done on both part, the instrumental and Seunghan's
Overall for a start i'll give this song a good 8/10 and i WILL be putting this song in my playlist
TRACK 2: GLOW
PRODUCERS: Stian Nyhammer Olsen and Elias Edman
COMPOSERS: Stian Nyhammer Olsen, Elias Edman, Anne Judith Wik and Henrik Heaven
ARRENGERS: Stien Nyhammer Olsen and Elias Edman
LYRICISTS: Jean Jieun, Jxxdxn, DNRN and Yoon
THE LYRICS MEANING: Redicovering your inner glow through other people, through shared experiences, shining again, emotional highs and overall "You shine brighter when you're not alone"
THE VIBE: Oh i missed that 2016 KPOP vibe, it's like an EXO summer song with an SHINEE summer song mashup
CONCLUSION:
Seughan kinda challenged his singing techning a little here without giving us whiplash and doing a 360°, like he is still in his comfort zone he is just expanding it a little.
I am actually so OBSSESSED with how he delivers the line "Bring the dawn" like no kidding i keep replaying the moment, it scratch a part of my brain i can't explain without sounding crazy tho.
Also the chorus drop ??? CHILLS!!!!! Paired with the "OOOOH" it add so much to the "hyping" part of the vibe, the instumental is SO NASTY, it's fresh, it's uplifting, it's eveything you want in a song called "GLOW" that is released in the start of the summer, The producers did their BIG ONE!
Someone on Twitter said "he is the Troy Sivan of kpop" and i agree, someone on twitter also said "how are you singing "i eat pu**y" lyrics on a "i suck d**k" beat" and THAT CRACKED MY UUUUUP cause it's so true, anyways GLOW DESERVE THAT 10/10
TRACK 3: LIGHT THE FIRE
PRODUCERS: Raz Palm
COMPOSERS: Raz Palm, Henrik Heaven and MACK
ARRENGER: Raz Palm
LYRICISTS: Lee Seuran, Jisoo Park and Won Jaee
THE LYRICS MEANING: Igniting your inner passion and breaking out of limitation, break free from expectations and pursuing what excites you, starting your own spark, refusing to stay confined by what others except from you
THE VIBE: Those 2016 MV with a heartthrob guy feels in love with a girl during a party and he's trying the pursue her
CONCLUSION:
LOVE ME some future disco up-tempo beats, it really gives that freedom/self expression, freshness, and groovy vibe that is just *chef's kiss*
The meaning of the song is so important too, i have to give some brownie points when singers decides to sing about multiple subjects in their projects, also MULTIPLE BROWNIE POINTS TO THE PRODUCERS for that glitch in the song UUUGGGHHH it does scratch that same part of my brain! And don't get me started on that moment were the song "slow down/calms down" then exploed into an emplified 3rd chorus with a "pitch change/instumental soft switch" and then the outro who's just came to add the cherry on top IT'S SO SATSFYING idk how explain it just go listen to the song guys.
I'll give the song a very good 8/10 and a round of applause
TRACK 4: WHISHLIST
PRODUCER: Tim Tan
COMPOSER: Tim Tan
ARRENGER: Tim Tan
LYRICISTS: Jxxdxn and DNRN
THE LYRICS MEANING: Wanting small but meaningful moments with someone you love/care about, "here's what i dream of sharing with you now that i found that light again"
THE VIBE: 2016 summer crush
CONCLUSION:
Seunghan x Afropop genre is a fucking banger.
I love the whole romantic, hopeful soft connection , relaxed dreamy calm love, it really balance the whole mini album also this is the type of songs i thing about when i hear/see/think of "my love language is quality time" the song did a good job of capturing that essence and add this "desprate man" kind of voice plus the rap part, oh Seughan just KNOWS how to talk to us and ill be adding this 9/10 song in my "late night senarios" playlist period.
TRACK 5: LOVIN' ON ME
PRODUCER: CANTO
COMPOSERS: CANTO, JOP, Louise Lindberg and Noerio
ARRENGER: CANTO
LYRICISTS: Jxxdxn, DNRN
THE LYRICS MEANING: Self love, emotional growth, learning how to love treat yourself with care, healing, confidence, independence, it's like choosing yourself after everything you've been through and say "okay i'm finally putting myself as a priority, understanding myself and being okay on my own"
THE VIBE: Being with your friend on a breezy night with a nostalgic feeling
CONCLUTION:
I shed a tear, knowing Seughan's story (the whole riize situation) the song really did hit home.
The production playing between "modern alt rnb" with "pop" with "retro influence" and finally "lofi hip hop/chillwave" for that hint of sadness hazy type of song that give a "bodily" material that you can feel while listening to the song, it start bittersweet then when you arrive at the chorus that feeling fades away and give the space for the fresness to take it's place, if i have to really give a detailed desciption of the vibe id say "being with you friends on a breezy night with that feeling of nastalgia just walking and talking but suddently you just run and run while smiling.
Overall commentary: I will listen the sh!t out this mini album, every song fits so well you literally have :
- Dancing away (vulenrability)
- Glow and Light the fire (joy and passion)
- Wishlist (Connection, romanticism)
- Lovin' on me (inner peace, self acceptance)
All these things that will inevitably make you shine, and make that glow stronger, lighter, brighter.
Emotions are such an influence on our daily life (no sh!t sherlock) and the way you manage them is so important too and it's whatr i love abou this mini albume.
IMO it's a continuation of "WASTE NO TIME" and "HEAVELY BLUE" in term of communicating are each of them portraited so diffrently even if they have a "similar aspects", Seughan's voice adds soooooooooo much in the songs like i can't see any other singer singing these songs except him, he carried this mini album so well i have to applaud, i don't know if he had a say in the song picks but i kinda think he does though cause EVERY SINGLE SONGS are so on point for him whether we're talking about the production, the lyrics or the delivery!
I am so so so so proud of him and so excied about his next projects but in the meantime i WILL BE milking this one.
XOXO
