Oh, I cannot wait until you hear Never Gonna Dance Again Act 1 - woo!!! A masterpiece.
Yes, looking forward to JongHyun's music reaction, Thank you
Omg you're reacting to the orchestral version of Jonghyun's song, I'm thrilled ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Taemin has such a superb dancing gift. I really wish him the best. Now this might be off topic, but could you please react to dreamcatcher live cover of bigbang bang bang bang, it's really good.
how do you vote on which songs
Taemin harmonizing with himself is just pure gold to my ears
Yeah i live for it!
I came here just for this 😍
Yeah me too
I love how Kevin said Taemin seems so dominant but sings from a submissive side. That perfectly summarized the whole suspect x innocent concept that Taemin wants to communicate across. In conclusion, I'm one proud Shawol!
Yes, me too. I mean the visual aesthetic of the MV, the choreography, his voice really complemented the lyrics and sound of the song. All elements combined to create the cinematic atmosphere Taemin wanted.
I loved that too because it really crystallized the thought in my mind that every aspect of this song is reflecting the theme. His vocals especially before the third chorus really ARE submissive and so soft, revealing his innocent side and the struggle between rejecting and embracing his suspect side. There is the “destroy me more”/“run away from me” moment and the duality of what he says also showing that conflict, and then the dominance in his voice really comes out during the last chorus, overpowering the softer backing vocals of the usual chorus melody.
😫 This song is literally a masterpiece, I could talk about it and the MV for hours. I’ve been watching it constantly since day 1 of its release and even though they are right that the song itself is “simple” there is something about it I find incredibly complex and interesting. I could listen to it for hours without ever getting bored! ❤️
perfectly summed up in a sentence
"he is dominant singing from a submissive side" BLESS THIS. no one articulated this thouth better
I was blown away when he said that. Like, taking into account what the song is telling, it makes sense!! I'm just too blown away by how intentional it all is in all levels, Taemin is a genius!!
Agreed!! Showed he was deeply focused and paying attention to the words and a MV so well!!!!
Thought?
"It doesn't sound like a kpop song"
But it DOES sound like a Taemin song and that's incredible, Taemin is ART
and this isn't even us fans hyping it up. It's literally a masterpiece.
True
Tae-Pop man
@@EnderWigginKML !!!
Yeah we called his music T-pop(Taemin pop) because his music is not like typical kpop song
it’s a real shame this comeback isn’t getting the hype it deserves. obviously the song is good, but the choreo too...he really outdid himself, and that’s saying a lot for taemin!
the choreography hit me like a train the hand wave downwards thingy he does is so satisfying to watch
But it is! Taemin's Criminal won a double crown for digital performance and his album topped many #1 lists worldwide! :)
When I saw the video I was amazed, but when I read the lyrics, damn😧my heart. I love Taemin's styles in his videos. 😊
sm didnt promote him well... im upset with sm..
Not to mention he's been working on it since literally before this year started (it was supposed to come out around March but it got delayed many times). His SuperM mate's are doing more promotion than SM actually, and fans in Korea rented a bus to promote the song too
lee taemin is art, there’s no one like him.
nctzens supporting Taemin is what I like to see ;))))
He actually came out on his Vlogs and specifically said he wants to make TPop now. Taemin Pop.
He has a lot of self confidence lmao
He also said I love me too when amber from f(x) said I love you to someone lol
I can't believe that this is the Taemin that we used to adore before. Criminal made me realized that he really really has grown up as a top tier artist in the industry. His name, Taemin has already becoming a genre. He is always setting the bar so high for these Kpop stuff like music, dance, production, and even the back up dancers. Black Rose is awesome and I like it, too. Actually all of his songs in this Never Gonna Dance Again album, they are gold.
I was just talking about this with my brother, and he's more of a casual listener than a fan but he said "Taemin doesn't sound like kpop, he sounds like Taemin. Even if it wasn't him singing I would think this song sounds completely like him" and I think that's so on point. Nobody's doing it like Taemin, he has a genre of his own
He has literally said that before, that he is not K-pop but "Taemin pop".
right?? i know this comment is from years ago but can’t believe this is the taemin who was a coconut that ate crayons and had never seen broccoli
Kevin: "it's so edgy", "I love everything"
COME TO THIS FANDOM, KEVIN hahaha
Taemin is on a leage of his own, no one will ever come close
I believe the 80s influence was intentional, if you look at his Instagram teasers plus the choreo, there's a lot of references to Micheal Jackson.
Also funny how I might consider this to be his best comeback in terms of song, mv, styling, and choreo. and it just so happens that Taemin had the most creative control in regards to all of those things this comeback. I really wish SM would invest more in promoting the album, it's easily the best album to come out this year.
P.S. I missed Kevin
YES to everything you said.. It proves that he's turning in the kind of artist that he always wanted, no matter if it's still not "popular".. I love the Press It album and closely followed by Want, but he outdid himself with Act 1 and I CAN'T WAIT for Act 2! ❤️
When I first heard the song, I immediately felt the way Kevin felt. Criminal absolutely 100% transcends. As someone who doesn't grasp music and musical concepts as well as you guys, I immediately knew what Umu was talking about when she was referring to how Taemin's music is very atmospheric, and uses this aspect of itself to elevate into a genre all of his own.
I didn't think NCT 127's Superhuman could be surpassed for me as the greatest KPop song of all time, but Criminal is slowly but surely creeping incredibly close.
Matt Vesliño me me me. Superhuman for me is still the greatest Kpop song to me, but Taemin isn’t even Kpop anymore. And this. This is PEAK taemin Tpop.
Taemin is just an amazing artist. He doesn't even have one bad song.
On top of it all, his musicianship is just out of this world. His sound is so unique the moment you hear his song you can immediately say it's Taemin's.
finally the authentic review from musically educated people without being distracted by his hair or eye patch.
yeah taemin always puts music first, the rest just follows up to fit the concept.
he has very sophicated taste in music and wide variety of influences in his work.
thx for the thoughtful in depth review.
much appreciated.
p.s. it'd be interesting to hear your thoughts on his other song "stone heart".
here's the link of his off-sick concert version.
ruclips.net/video/vhCIzE7Z_ME/видео.html
Oh YES!! one of my faves from him!!!!
I also think Stoneheart is an amazing song. I wish it was more popular. It just grabs me and I can’t get away from it.
Stone heart is so amazing and the LYRICS 😭 is poetry and music all put together so good.
*STONE HEART IS THE MOST PRECIOUS THINGS EVER* literally Taemin always pours his heart and soul into all the album, every single song is just ugh *art*, not only him but other kpop artist too, they have beautiful tracks in an album but people mostly will just know the main song which has MV.
*tbh I was so distracted by his hair and eyepatch at the first time watching it because he is gorgeous sjksjkjs* BUT the song itself is speechlessly well done omg
저 남자분이 이렇게 극찬하는 거 처음봄 ...내가다 뿌듯... 감사합니다ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
“it doesn’t sound like a kpop song” exactly! taemin is the genre👏 this is taeminpop👏 no one does it like him fr
Most of the times we are so immersed discussing and hyping on Taemin's dance that we forget to acknowledge how beautiful of a singer he is.
And the crazy thing is that Taemin worked on this while promoting with SuperM! It's like he's put his soul into this comeback, he actually said it himself that he was greatly involved in the making of it!
The track is just so well produced, and the details make it really interesting, especially that final new melody line in the last chorus. Criminal, Black Rose, and Strangers are my favourites off the album. I'm so excited for your review and talk with Adrian!
I really wanted you all to react to this because honestly yes, it hasn’t been getting much promotion and Taemin himself has been quite troubled about it, so I was hoping you all could help him get even the slightest bit more recognition for his work. He’s been working extra hard on this too, being involved in multiple aspects of creative decision making, as he’s talked about in his recent behinds and commentary. And he really really cares about the dark story in this song, and the WHOLE package, getting portrayed in the way he wants it to be. So thank you Kevin and Umu for acknowledging all the things about this that he worked so hard to get across. It kinda feels like the whole industry knows how good this is and is rooting for Taemin - we just need more of the general public to acknowledge it too!
judy 쥬리 lovely, lovely comment, and I completely agree. He is getting SUCH amazing feedback from everyone who hears and sees his work, and that’s so heartwarming. I’ve just been feeling so sad for him that SM isn’t promoting this like the masterpiece that it is, but it makes me feel better to hear him bd recognized for his incredible art.
i actually cried hearing all their compliments,,, taemin deserves only the best because he is the best
I was waiting for this so much!!! Tae worked soo much into each production part of CRIMINAL that the fact you were saying "it is perfect" makes me so proud and happy as you liked it. Also, your excitement with his signing makes me so excited as he was aiming for that: we know he's a great dancer but him hitting those high notes it's soooo dramatic and exciting and ...😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I think this is the most classy and modern 80's inspired atmospheric track-I seriously agree, whoever did the mixing was on another level. The way his melody line gets dragged on and on, really suits the lyrics and concept of the song. Someone explain why this isn't blowing up.
What else it's his company fault for not promoting this comeback, this single and album must be more successful if SM put an effort to actually promotes him
@Harmon McCraw wow is it real?
@Harmon McCraw wow really?! Have a link to the interview?
I'm addicted to the song, help :(
And the choreography too 🥺
When Umu and Kevin is impressed.. Now that's another level of musicality for Taemin and the composers/producers
See how musicians and producers can't even add anything to the song, it's that perfect. Kulture even gave it a 10.1 points, and he never does that
I want taemin to watch this, this is the kind of support he needs
Grandpa Rick agreed!! I hope someone sends it to him. He’s been so sad. We see you, Taemin!!! And you shine so brightly!!
Best release of 2020! He slayed us all. This is Tpop!!
I look forward to your listening to the whole album - it's a masterpiece!!! Taemin definitely goes beyond Kpop aesthetics, he has an incredibly sophisticated, western sound, which I loved from the very first moment I started listening to his music. Sensational artist, sensational album, there is no one on his level of artistry. He had a huge influence on the production of this album - both in sound and visual aspects and he said it's literally like his child! Thank you for your reaction and waiting for more Taemin!!!
I'm sooooo glad you guys enjoyed Criminal as much as I did...It just felt PERFECT from the first listen, so very Taemin. It just grabbed me and held me in its atmosphere. I loved a lot of 2020 releases this but has gotta be on top.
I hope Taemin watch this reaction, he should know how people really apreciate his hard work on music, vocal, dance and everything.
Let's stream Criminal !!!
It's funny you mention "The Weekend", I mentioned this about "Criminal" on another channel reaction. I stated that this song will be a slow burn instead of a white-hot flame, with many layers to this song and the album for that matter."Blinding light", that song has been out for about a year, and only now do you hear it everywhere,(by the way I love that song~). I consider Taemin to be an "Artists' Artist". I even mentioned on his company's site, that this album should be considered for a Grammy nod. I don't say that of many Albums, but Taemin has really made an exceptional piece of work. It's his turning point in his career and I am so glad I am here to witness it. I can only imagine what Act II is like and his next decade will sound like. I am just so happy for him. My ears are happy too~ 6V6
OMG, Taemin nominated for Grammy is my dream! He so deserves it with this album!!! Hopefully one day...
I usually never put songs on repeat but I listened to this like 10x in a row. His style is just so satisfying.
The editing in this video was so cute 💕
7:07 Kevin describing Taemin's sex noises has me W H E E Z I N G
I never thought of that but as soon as Kevin mentioned it I was YES that is exactly right.
kevin said criminal 11/10 so thats it from now on its t-pop
태민은 신이다 😌
탬멘
I absolutely LOVE the vocal placement/timbre Taemin chose for the chorus, and I think it’s part of what makes the mixing and the balance so perfect. It’s softer, in his head voice, and is almost (breathy?). It allows the instrumental to come through, it re-frames your focus, and it allows the third chorus to be that much more impactful when he begins harmonizing with himself and using his stronger mixed voice. It also is very different from the typical chorus which is usually where a singer uses a fuller tone. Ugh this is easily my favourite kpop song of the year it’s literally perfect. Plus the choreo is so beautiful, artful, and shows us why he’s the best dancer in the industry. LOVE
Thanks for the reaction- interesting as always - and I love this song so much. I have to add tho, what Kevin says about it being more American/western - I'd argue that it's European (euro electrohouse). Obviously heavily influenced by 80's synth pop (generally American and British) but looking at that genre in a contemporary setting it's pretty specific to Europe, I think? For example "Diamond Veins" by French 79, "Blast Off" By GESAFFELSTEIN and "Odd Look" by Kavinsky (or practically any daft punk track) I think it's mixed pretty similarly to Diamond Veins but what makes Criminal outstanding tho (except for the fact that it's THE freaking ACE Lee Taemin) are how his smooth vocals stand out boldly in the track, the seamless mixing/mastering and that the song is mixed to be a pop track; super smooth and therefore more digestible. IMO a perfect track both instrumentally and obv vocally (shinee vocals/vocal mixing is always on point)! The adlibs sound absolutely impeccable and I could go on forever so imma stop here for now
I love this comment for introducing me to more artists producing music with a similar sound! I’ve always been into electronic music, so I really appreciate you sharing your insights!
@@nausicaa17 ooh I'm so glad I could help ! I love the genre, and words can't describe how happy I was to see Taem do it so well !! 😭😭
Yup Taemin is Amazing!!! He's Art, a Legend, a King, anything that great is HIM!!
Btw can we talk about umu's childhood friend's introduction at 4:29 ?? That was so cuteee
sees the title; hears the first few minutes; *screams in kevin* (in reference to the 1:40 in snsd reaction)
very happy for a full album reaction (with ADRIAN! YAY) there's some REALLY interesting stuff happening in some songs (imo)
I'm so happy that they love the song as much as I do!! Definitely my favourite song of his! And the choreo and video is AMAZING as well.
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!!
I'm so happy you're reacting to the full album too, it's really good!
I still don't get why this comeback is so underrated, I've had this album on repeat since it came out and I don't get tired of it -3-
Can't wait for the album reaction.
Criminal is a masterpiece !!! The album NEVER GONNA DANCE AGAIN is incredible !!
The Album is a MASTERPIECE! 😭❤️ If you can react to Black Rose if not all the Album. Taemin went all with this Album, there is everything. And totally agree with everything you guys said! The mixting is excellent, his notes are amazing, and the song keeps you in your toes all the time and goes and goes and goes and it builds up at the end till it destroys you 😂 thank you so much for your reaction! Loves the edit so funny 😂❤️
That "destroy me more" destroyed everyone..
Stan Taemin everyone!
I never thought I would ever like a Taemin single more than Move but here we are.
Me tooooo
His comebacks keep getting better and better.😍
True haha after ‘criminal’, I finally put ‘move’ down😂😂😂
Every single i was like that whahahaha
한국어 자막 올려주신 분 어디 계신가요 절 받으세요ㅠㅠㅠ
Taemin is a masterpiece ....
I want Taemin to see this reaction so much TT he deserves to know he did so well with his comeback:’)
Kevin praising the lyrics made me so happy.
Taemin worked closely with lyricists Danke on Criminal.
He asked that they take a more conceptual approach, blurring the lines between criminal and victim, tainted love and the one who did the tainting.
The song portrays a toxic love, but it also portrays a protagonist who participated in his own downfall, by drinking from the poisoned chalice, again and again.
If he was stabbed in the heart, he took part in the stabbing.
In my opinion, the lines "I don’t hate how your words make my feet entangled and dance", and "My hands holding yours that stabbed me, are not clean either", best captures this ambiguity.
Criminal is a masterpiece, and it is Taemin at the peak of his power - sophisticated, sensual, and dark (the choreography was partly inspired by dead bodies).
So happy this was one of the tracks that made me a Taemint, and a Shawol.
The other was Think Of You.
Can't think of a better duo that represents Taem's duality.
Taemin's music has always been my favourite since I because a kpop fan. Move, thirsty, want, famous....they all have such a different vibe. And he gives such wonderful music.
She fell in love so quickly. Taemins power.
im still obsessed with this song😭iconic
Super excited to see Adrian again for the album listen. Taemin is an artist, he's so so good at what he does. I could barely have a proper analysis for the song because it just blows me away everytime I listen so thank you for the fun tidbits and whatnot!
IM SO HAPPY💖💖 I’ve been waiting for a reaction from you guys, specifically on the album. But in addition to that, we also get a bonus treat from the person who helped create Taemin’s masterpiece?? 😍
The king of kpop himself
~✨LEE TAEMIN✨~
Taemin is really working hard with this comeback. He picked the song, he picked the director for the mv, he also gave a lot credit with the editing in mv and the album. He really proud of this album. But, yeah he's really doesn't care about what people wants, he just go with his way. Out of the box. Thank you for liking it and supporting him 💛
The music video is the best SM MV I've watched in a WHILE
I'm just sad that they're not promoting this and hyping it as they should .... The world needs to listen to the song , watch the MV and hear the whole album , it's too good to be hyped by limited number of people :(
@@roomofmirros i know, that's why we are very upset(Taemin too) with the way SM handling his comeback this time. I'm mad and disappointed to SM but it didin't change anything
OMG THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO TAEMIN CRIMINAL!!! ㅠㅠㅠㅠ taemin really deserves to be discovered by more people ㅠㅠ
Thank you so much for this reaction! I'm totally agree with your review about 'fluidity' in this song, it could be repetitive and the structure is not that 'wild' but it still slaps so hard with its minimalism. I'm so upset tho with the way SM treated Taemin's comeback this time, they were bad but this time they didn't even bother to do a single thing to promote this masterpiece. I just hope his Act 2 album will receive the support it deserves because SM has been calling Taemin their ACE for 6 years now and didn't even do half of half from his hard work. Can't wait for the NGDA: Act 1 album review!
It's fascinating that musicians/people with musical background tend to pick up the same observations regarding this song likd the flawless mixing, the melodic lines, and the 80's-esque vibes (esp the synth). Goes to show how thoughtful these elements are in the song.
It basically means that Taemin's work and musicality is THAT good, knowing he was involved in EVERYTHING in this comeback... He needs to know that his pushing for quality was worth it and will always be, only time will tell he was right all along ❤️👍🏼
i was waiting for the reaction....
This really helped me to wrap my head around this song.
On first listen, this song went straight into the top 10 of my 'Favorite 2020 Songs - Playlist', and I couldn't explain why.
Sometimes, a song just works for you, and even if it is not the most unique or weird song (I tend to like those, lol), it feels so different from everything else. To quote Kevin: "I just felt it".
If I had to pick a favorite part, I would go with the final chorus, too, the whole song seems almost reserved, especially the way Taemin sings, and then the final chorus: Not just a new melody, but together with the original one! It reminded me of EXO's Obsession, and 'Criminal' easily joins my 'Best Final Chorus - Playlist', too.
I am looking forward to your album reaction (I expect drama in the discussion part :) ), and I am excited for some more Adrian McKinnon on the channel!!!
I almost never comment on any videos but I just had to for this video. Umu and Kevin thank you so much for reacting to Taemin’s Criminal T^T. I’ve been a Shinee fan since their debut and they have never disappointed. Taemin has matured SO much and have really found his own style. There’s no doubt that this comeback is pure artistry and and he has transcended beyond being just a kpop idol. It feels so great that you both love the song too!!! As a following of your channel from the beginning the shinee fan in me makes me extra happy.
I just love how you reacts to Kevin's opinions 😂 I feel like his perspective and taste has changed so much I don't know what to expect from him in the recent videos 🤣🤣
I just love what you two bring to the table for these - very excited for the full album listen and that extra with Adrian McKinnon too! Kevin, I was so happy when I heard you call the best kpop songs you've heard in a long time.
Someone put this with Korean subtitles where Taemin can see it!! Go go go, Shawols!! Translate and share! This song and MV is Taemin's pride. Let's do what we can for GP to notice it because this song is above 'alternative genre K-pop' it's mature, it's a hit and a masterpiece and it's Taemin's own vision 100%, his mixing perfected as he wanted it, he's blossoming fully as a creative, independent artist with this! Get the MV everywhere we can think of, translate reactions like this where Taemin himself sees it, let's work together as a fandom, for him! Are you in?
718% i'm in
Thank you 💙💙 looking forward to the album reaction
I'm soooooo super stoked for you guys to check out Taemin's album!!!! I came over here to ask you guys to, and what a happy surprise that you're already working on it XD. There's so much about the sound quality that I love in it, so I'm just really stoked to hear the perspectives of two musically educated people. I'll be here... waiting on the edge of my seat haha.
thanks for the reaction ^^ i like when you said it's feels like american song...yes, this song really woww! Taemin has his own genre called T-Pop = Taemin Pop ^^
About the song has 80s feels, right as before released they describe it's a synth-wave genre song which combines a tense rhythm with a newtro sound.
Taemin’s Black Rose (the stage) please!! It’s so beautiful, elegant, and gothic aesthetic song.
I love Kevin, I love Umu, I love the fact that they loved this song :)
Taemin is always giving us exactly what we need 🥺 I'm in shock every time
My favourite moment would have to be that highest note that he hits in the third chorus...like, the whole countermelody is so tasteful and has a really different contour from a lot of "harmony" lines, crossing over and playing with the main melody, but that note in particular just hits different hah
Thank you both for reacting to it and can't wait for you to hear the whole album!! You guys won't believe your ears. Someone please add Korean subs to this reactions and send them to him T_T he needs to know that professionals and people with good taste love his work, he'd be so happy
2024 and i still coming back for this reaction. 🥰
Omg, I've been waiting for you guys to react to this song, so thank you! Kevin is such a mood in here, everything about Criminal is PERFECT! This is also my favorite comeback of Taemin! Can't wait to see your reactions to the whole album~
i want taemin to watch this i mean he put sm effort for this production for this song for the whole album but in the end inadequate and improper promotion strategy ruined it all :(( ik he would feel sad and disappointed that his song is not hyped and as well known as he would think. He has prep for it for more than a year, filmed the MV since March, then procrastinate the comeback date first cuz he's not satisfied enough, his wrist injury for the second time. He has told us so many times this is his turning point, that he sacrificed sm to fulfil this album. I just feel sad, his comeback stage is due one week later and only lasted for HOLY FCK WEEK :) plz he's so precious, I'm so pissed and loved him even more rn
I was so certain that this comeback would be his time to rise even higher than before :(( guys Taemin needs your help and support for the Act 2 album released in Nov.
@@huong2711_ ofc will do and do not stop supporting criminal and Act 1!
SHINee taemint i will do 🔥
Not that i cried when Kevin said what he said.....
............
😭
Thank you so much for reacting to Taemin's song and for your wonderful insights!
This is the first song from Taemin I’ve listen to and OH MY!! It’s sooo good! I’ve on a Taemin deep dive for the past few days!!
Go on! continue to dig deeper into his discography, his korean and japanese releases are great
SHINee taemint will do!!!
What you guys have discussed - you've basically taken the words out of my mouth! It's western pop but it's not: it's Taemin pop lol but seriously though, I could never place why I loved this track so much. I have loved Taemin's tracks since Move - I love the track and the album Want but I didn't love it as much as I have loveddddd Criminal though. The whole album is a banger - you will absolutely love it! It's such an experience to listen to the entire thing. I can't wait for your review and your interview with the composer! It'll be so exciting to hear him being interviewed from two classical musicians! Thanks :)
okay but the thing that caught my eye was (ITS CALLED BEARBEAR🥺) that little stuffed bear....
I loved this reaction!!!! Taemin has always being this cinematic in his previous works. His concepts and sound are always different from what's trending in kpop.
yessss I've been waiting for this reaction since the mv dropped 😭 taemin is truly so talented, I love how at times his voice blends so much with the bass despite not even being that deep... I don't know how he does half the things he does 😖
I love seeing Kevin so excited about Taemin's "Criminal" the song the performance - Taemin puts so much energy and thought into his music!!
Thank you for reacting! Really well said. Criminal is a masterpiece, I love how you guys appreciate it. The mixing is indeed perfect. Taemin himself was satisfied with this, and he rarely said that he's 100% satisfied.
this still shocks me like seriously! this is the one genre ive been wanting to hear in kpop and its majestic!!! it rlly reminds me alot of modern talking js ^^
Mr. Lee Teamin’s album defines a new genre. Bravo.
Umu and Kevin, Thank you for a great review. Cheers!
Taemin is art...such an incredible person and artist, I’m always mesmerized by him. So proud to be supporting him for more than 10 years, he NEVER disappoints!!
Thank you for such a lovely dual reaction video! I love how it's both informative on and appreciative of Taemin's music and MV. Thank you Umu and Kevin!
❤️❤️😭❤️I mean .....I feel so satisfied .
The amount of time they spent talking about it shows how much they really liked it and had so much to say about the whole song. Thank you for helping is through the details.
Why is there not a love button!! I would smash that 1,000 times! This song is so Taemin. He is really pushing the envelope of musical production coming from Korea. Like Kevin said, this sounds like western style less typical "kpop" . This gets me thinking what music his Taemin listening to be able to create this kind??
criminal is perfect
I'm not even Taemin's fan but ngl Criminal is like the best KPOP song this year (at least for me). I've been listening to his album and I really like his musical style. It's even more enjoyable to watch his stage performances. Taemin is indeed one of the best solo act out there
A real KING.
