Rose is an fascinating show of time journey. NCT’s Taeyong remains to be on hiatus as he fulfils his army service. This music was first unveiled in 2021 and the video premiered throughout an occasion final yr. Now, it’s lastly made its method on-line in time for Korea’s Rose Day. I don’t suppose we are able to name it a “single” per se, nevertheless it’s a pleasant little deal with for followers ready for his return.
A collaboration between Taeyong and Crimson Velvet’s Seulgi virtually begs to be coated on this weblog, however this type of music has by no means been for me. The instrumental combines ethereal coffeehouse softness with the occasional plonky percussion. The melodies waft round in an virtually freeform method, crafting a vibe somewhat than a sharply structured pop observe. On the plus facet, each artists sound nice (Seulgi particularly), however there’s no scarcity of nice singers to get pleasure from on this world. I’m extra within the music itself, which in all probability isn’t the fitting mindset to efficiently get pleasure from music like this. I hope Rose finds its followers, as a result of I understand how lengthy army hiatuses can really feel if you love an artist.
