(Ribbon) (Inst.)
하이라이트 (Highlight) is the first track in the album and the song does justice to its name. The song is a definite highlight in terms of its beats and the drops and the the power-packed vocals B2ST provides. It is really addicting to hear them just say "Highlight". The song is beautiful to listen to and is a great start to their album.
Up next we have one of the title number in this album "리본" (Ribbon) which is a beautiful ballad track about falling apart in a relationship. The song compares breaking up to the act of undoing a ribbon, you can thank the genius JunHyung for that! The song has such an effortlessness about itself that it is sure to pull you into it when you listen to it. The song is beautiful and even beautiful is the highnotes in it and the music video that accompanied this. This here is the complete package. Ribbon is an instant favourite of mine.
"Butterfly" is another title, well I dont really know if I should call it a title or a pre-title/ teaser track for the album. But whatever was the promotional name for it doesnt matter. The song is another heart melting number of love and adoration. The vocals shine through in this number and the harmonies in this are pure gold. The music video that accompanined this track shows the men in some of the most visually appealing backdrops I have ever seen.
"연습 중" (I do not know the official English title for this) starts off with this swagger like beats, the rhythm is subdued and that really gives this song a laid back feel. The lyrics are sweet to listen to and this song really is so pretty and creates a great relief element from listening to two rocking tracks.
"When I..." to me is kinda like the Japanese single "sadstory" that they release a long while ago. "When I" is swaying number that sings about reminiscence of the past relationships in such a powerful, moving way. This song is sure to blow your mind away both with its beats and it lyrics. Another instant favourite in this album. I love dramatic songs like this
"궁금해" is a soft ballad track that has minimum musical accompaniment a good time into the track. I call this track soft because of it fluidity and how easy it is on the ears. You can literally fall to sleep with this track, it is that mellow and delicate to listen to. I love how B2ST arrange their songs, placing contradictory track next to one another.
"Found you" (준형 Solo) is a funky beat that builds up the tempo and the beat right from the start. The song has a slight touch of old school element in it. This solo number has some sweet English words in it which ass to the sweetness of the track. Such a cute track, worth a listen.
Duets always have special place in my heart and especially duets done within a group have such an aura about them. "Baby it`s you" (두준&기광 Duet) is one such number. The song has a Video game like sound in the beginning and the beat and its rhythm are so well paced. This typical pop number is so addictive to listen to, that I recommend you listen to it.
"나와" (요섭 Solo) is a ballad infused pop number. Yoseob, need I say more? His voice is pure chocolate when it need to be and suddenly becomes intoxicating vodka in a blink. That is the best way I can describe his voice. I love how he makes a reference to his own single in this song, got me screaming like a crazy woman.
"I`ll give you my all" (동운 Solo) is another slowly but mesemrising solo track. A confessional loves song that tickles your senses. I love this song and there is nothing more I can add to this.
"잘 자요" is the final track in the album. The song is so mellow and so soothing to listen to. I feel like I am floating when I listen to this track. Seriously, it is so relaxing listening to this track because their soft vocals on top of that delicately attention bringing piano accompaniment is a delight to the ears. A beautiful track, a melodious number.
