I messed up ... 😭
🕑 Added 2024-10-10 16:00:16 +0000 UTCHey there, so ... I owe you a big apology because I fucked up big time with this video!
Yesterday, as I was filming another reaction video, my SD card got full, and it required me to delete some older footage, right? Well, yeah, I deleted the original video recording of this without any back up 🫠 I still have the audio source but without the video, I don't think it has much value.
I'm truly sorry for making such a mistake, I should have been more careful and double-checked.
In case you are interested, tough I could still share with you part of the audio, if you'd like to hear my initial thoughts.
Or here's a quick summary of my opinion of each song and how I reacted to them:
Key 'Pleasure Shop': I initially thought this would be like 'Candy shop' by 50ent for whatever reason 😂 Glad I was proven wrong really quickly! Really enjoyed the MV, super creative and artistic, very Key after all. The song is also nice to listen to. I mentioned the ongoing trend of songs having a more 'club' like feeling/energy, which I personally really like. And because of that, I think I got reminded of Yves' song 'LOOP' and 'Impossible' by RIIZE. I would definitely put these 3 songs in the same playlist.
I also briefly talked about the packaging of this album (the one which looks like a cocktail glass), it's so not convenient to store, but it is so so so cool and unique, definitely recognizable nsnsnsns I absolutely love the idea and the design of it! And I also touched on the fact that Key had to 'fight' SM to have the proper founds to create this comeback, he shouldn't have to, but that is incredibly badass of him!
Overall, pleasant comeback, but not my favorite.
Kang Daniel 'Electric shock': I can't be the only one who automatically sings 'Electric shock' by f(x) when hearing these two words 😂 I know they don't own that title obviously, but that was a cultural reset moment for me nssnsnsn
Anyhow, this was surprisingly a lot more chill than I had expected for a song with such a title. It has a nice rhythm and I said that it was giving me 'Paranoia' vibes, but a more mindful and demure version of it (if that even makes sense). I found him to be absolutely adorable with his fluffy hair and glasses! Out of curiosity, I checked his album preview and thought that 'Losing my mind' sounded closer to what I had in mind when I first read the title. I also said I suspected this would probably be my favorite song on the album, and yes, it is 🫢
So in conclusion, I somewhat wished this comeback had more of a punch considering this also his first comeback after stepping down of being his own CEO (I believe, don't quote me on that) but it was still a nice song to listen to nonetheless.
Yeonjun 'GGUM': what can I say about this ?! 😂 This was definitely something nsnsnsn The first watch was interesting for sure: the high-pitched voice, the switch in rhythm, the camera going crazy, his spitting in the camera ?! The dance?! HIM?! Yeah, I went through many emotions watching this, I got dizzy, confused, hyped, confused again, and eventually speechless! Not gonna lie, this was weird ... but it got weirdly addicting? Like it sticks... a lot... like gum! I said I wanted to see Jessi and him do a challenge video together since both have a song called gum, but after seeing the choreo ... That was a crazy split he did in the middle of the chorus btw! Who would even consider recreating this choreo 😭
During the second watch, I finally got to notice that the lyrics are quite personal to him and his own journey and considering he also participated in the lyrics, that makes a lot of sense.
Ultimately, the song got stuck in my head, even though I had a relatively 'adverse' reaction to the MV at first. I can't tell you if I like the song, but I for sure do enjoy it now! It's almost the same situation as 'Brought the heat back' from ENHYPEN, actually. Do I like the song? Not sure. Am I addicted to it? Hell yeah!
Hwasa 'NA': So I started by talking about how this entire video was shot in Paris and how Anne Hidalgo (the mayor of Paris) had to personally thanked Hwasa for creating a seemingly excellent tourism spot for her 😂 I feel like, after watching this, people might want to go visit these places and take pictures or even film a dance cover in those exact same spot you know.
Anyway, as soon as the chorus dropped I said 'this is so PSY coded'! Don't you think? The energy is immaculate, seriously! Here again, we have a somewhat 'club' like sound with a tad bit of disco and that to me felt a lot like freedom! Hwasa has been very vocal about her body image, self-love etc. But I think this one was particularly freeing, compared to 'I love my body' for example. I said that this song and MV felt quite feminist, even though the message it contains is genderless, in my opinion. This was a good testament in my eyes of how a woman can be completely herself, proud, happy, content, thriving, love herself entirely, even after being scrutinized and judged and so much more! I said this already about her, but I think she is a role model. It's been so beautiful to see her growth and acceptance of herself. When I finally noticed she hugged herself and gave herself a little peck on the shoulder at the very end, I teared up 😂 That was a really beautiful image and I am looking forward to the day I can feel that way as well!
And that is it! I'm so sorry again you guys for this situation, it is far from ideal and incredibly unprofessional. I hope you can excuse this mishap, and please do let me know if you'd still like to have the audio of this CUOK. If you are interested, I can absolutely make it happen.
Thank you guys for taking the time to read and have a great day everyone, take care 💛
