Rose is an attention-grabbing show of time journey. NCT’s Taeyong remains to be on hiatus as he fulfils his army service. This tune was first unveiled in 2021 and the video premiered throughout an occasion final 12 months. Now, it’s lastly made its method on-line in time for Korea’s Rose Day. I don’t suppose we will name it a “single” per se, however it’s a pleasant little deal with for followers ready for his return.
A collaboration between Taeyong and Pink Velvet’s Seulgi virtually begs to be lined on this weblog, however this fashion of tune has by no means been for me. The instrumental combines ethereal coffeehouse softness with the occasional plonky percussion. The melodies waft round in an nearly freeform method, crafting a vibe quite than a sharply structured pop observe. On the plus aspect, each artists sound nice (Seulgi particularly), however there’s no scarcity of nice singers to take pleasure in on this world. I’m extra within the tune itself, which in all probability isn’t the suitable mindset to efficiently take pleasure in 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.
