Forward of an eventual BTS reunion as soon as everybody has accomplished their navy service, oldest member Jin is again together with his second solo mini album. I just lately loved watching him as a part of the solid of Netflix selection sequence Kian’s Weird B&B, the place he got here off very properly and added a unusual humorousness. That persona doesn’t at all times switch to his solo music, even when its rock edge holds potential for inventive shade.
New single Don’t Say You Love Me performs issues extraordinarily secure. That doesn’t routinely have to be a foul factor. In any case, Jin has confirmed adept at delivering a nice radio sound. His voice brings character to even probably the most easy pop songs. Nonetheless, there comes a time when you should lace a tune like this with one other layer to maintain issues contemporary. Don’t Say You Love Me may very well be a solo monitor from actually any male artist ever. It’s virtually genre-less in its gentle enchantment. I can’t think about anybody hating this, nevertheless it’s additionally arduous to see what would make a listener develop into dangerously obsessive about music so “good.”
Don’t Say You Love Me‘s melodies are tried and true as a result of we’ve heard them earlier than. The chord development is predictable in a comforting means and Jin’s mild vocal slides effortlessly excessive. However like an excessive amount of of his work, the tune lacks any friction. The music is simply there, taking part in within the background as we admire the beautiful cinematography. I suppose there’s a time and a spot for this type of numbing agreeability, however I’ve to imagine Jin is desirous about extra daring materials. As a fan, I do know I’m.
