JYP ENTERTAINMENT’s very own
rock group DAY6 have made their
comeback! You know what that means…
Though Junhyeok
left the group, DAY6 is still going strong and along with releasing their
second mini album, they now have access to partake in music shows! Can this get
any better for them?
On the 30th
of March, DAY6 dropped their second mini album, which is titled “Daydream.” The
mini album features a total of six songs which are First Time, Blood, 놓아 놓아 놓아 (Letting Go), Sing Me, 바래(Hope) and Hunt. Many
of these songs were written and/or composed by the talented boys of the group.
The album kicks off with a
bang! “First Time” has drums galore at the opening of the track, calling out to
everyone to listen to them. The chorus is loud and it sadly gets in the way of
what the singer is singing. The songs talks about taking the initiative and
leaving a relationship. The group harmonises beautifully as they sing “I got to
say Goodbye”. This song is loud and has layers of beat that made their singing
a difficulty to follow through.
Time to light the dance floor on fire!
“Blood” is an electro pop
dance number that starts off slow and mysteriously and then bursts into
fireworks as it reaches the chorus. The song is miles apart from the previous
track. “Blood” doesn’t take this too fast nor slow but just the right pace and
the chorus is bound to make you shake along to its rhythm! Have to appreciate
the boys for coming up with such lyrics - “You gonna see blood girl”
When “Letting Go” started I
thought I was in church.
The title track “Letting Go”
is said to have been penned down by members Young K and Wonpil, who just so
happened to have also participated in composing the track. The song sings about
letting go of one’s loved ones in the hopes that they find happiness in another
soul. A sad but very realistic approach, the song has lyrics that are simple to
understand and the boys sing the song with such finesse. The song is a typical
heart break song but nothing about the song makes it feel generic.
The music video for “Letting
Go” doesn’t have a story line or a plot but that is because the song takes care
of it all. What the music video does have is some pretty clean well editing,
graphically appealing shots that subtly show how the relationship has
shattered.
The music video does
incorporate a good amount of CG but it doesn’t look awkward. In fact, it only
adds more depth to the song.
“Sing Me” starts of like a
beautiful breeze gently fanning you down and then carries you off with it. The
song is powerful and keeps getting stronger with every beat. “Sing Me” asks for
the past lover to never forget the singer for the singer is always in constant
thought of the girl. The boys sing about waiting for the girl as long as it
takes and it melts your heart.
The song has one of the most
intriguingly beautiful beat and musical arrangement. The song is a must listen
to as it incorporated electro pop and rock ballad all into one strong
concoction.
“Hope” is a strong rock
anthem track that touches the lines of your generic rock anthem feels in terms
of the rhythm, and beats. The song is still a joy a listen to as the young boys
determined spirit and personality shines through in the song. The song is
simple yet charismatic and not to mention that the small guitar solo really
adds the oomph to the song.
Turn up the atmosphere to
steamy with this last song of the mini album “Hunt” is romantic, loud and
doesn’t care who is listening. Hahhahah I mean that in a good way. The song
revisits music styles of yesteryear rock – refer to Elvis- and the sudden pause
in the song creates tension and chills while you listen to it. The winning
moment of this song is when they all sing “Oooh aahhh”, by the time the song
comes to an end, you will be singing “Oooh Aahhh” with them.
To call “Day Dreaming” a
power packed album would be an understatement. The songs are all strong and run
on their own little path. No two songs feel the same. The members of DAY6 have
really outdone themselves and the fact that this is just their second album
only makes you wonder what more they have in store for us next time. An album
worth owning!
