Update: on hiatus, but I'll occasionally post if I'm able to!

I've got exams coming up in the next few months, and won't post anything super long here very often

As for the projects I have going:

The other playlists I've made for the members of TXT are available on my spotify

The discography reviews will probably not return until I have free time after exams, but I will most likely do small reviews , probably in one or two sentences per track in a comeback if I feel like I can

I apologise for this!

Hey humans! this is gonna be a bit of a fun one. I let all my ideas go into this so i hope you like it! for Yeonjun, I did my best to fill this with songs that clearly work with his style and vocals. This is what i came up with. this is using actual songs in exsistance so i will link a playlist ive made of them below as well!

Concept

a powerful kind of fancy concept that i also tried to illistrate in the cover too.

i coud see it be somthing in which its urban shots with a mix of both longer, more emotive shots but also more closer shots too, Just to let yeonjun work his magic when it comes to modeling and knowing how to present himself to make his precense known.

Reviewing Discographys: Tommorrow by Together / TXT !

yes I used their full name, it sounds so fancy. Anyway, hey! I hope your doing good! to preface this, TXT are one of my Ults and i will be VERY biased, But i hope to provide as neutral of a review as possible, and i can completely understand why some of TXT's Songs are not for some people. I will also use a different format for this one, since i can go more indepth and focus per album (plus their discography is much shorter than Seventeens T^T) but yeah, Let's get started :D

edit : sorry this is really really long T^T

The Dream Chapter : Star

This mini is such a cheery mini album overall. To know they debuted with such a cheery song when it was slowly getting more popular to do less songs like this makes me happy, since it suits their styles so well. In only just these songs you not only get them showing their cheery sides in both Blue Orangeade, Crown and Cat & Dog, But you also get this calmer more vocal-showcasing tracks in Our Summer and Nap of a star. Nap of a star is the kind of song that fits a mood that is hard to explain yet its so comforting when you need it.

With this mini, I also need to talk about the Acoustic version of Our Summer and The English Version of Cat & Dog. The Acoustic Verision of Our summer is the first version of any b-side i had heard from TXT and yet it still leaves such a strong impression on me by giving the song what feels like a much calmer and more comforting feeling than it already had. and what else is there to say about the english version of Cat & dog , since i mean MOA will bark for that song-

The Dream Chapter : Magic

To think their first comback was this masterpeice. I love this album probably more than I should. It gathers such an intresting mix of sounds and also clear messages together. Firstly Run Away. The MV, The Stage outfits, The award show performances, even the little harry potter references all fit together ever so perfectly. Its also my personal favourite title track. The sound of this song is the kind of sound i need more of in kpop.

The B-sides, for me, Follow perfectly in sound and in quality for me. New rules sets the tone for the album initially with its sound and style. Roller coaster then follows through with the electronic sound that our diamond maknae Hueningkai produced. This is then followed by Poppin' Star, My personal favourite B-side by them to date. The summery sound this song presents makes me so happy, the song is the kind of song that I would immediately place into a summer playlist. This then gets followed by can we just leave the monster alive, which has a ound that compliments Poppin' Star so well, and acts as a another happy song and summery song that works so well to preface Magic Island. Magic island being the more ballad sounding track, The sound makes it a song that even some people who dislike ballads may like, due to its still electronic sound that isnt too slow, yet it still ahas the elements you would expect of a ballad. 20cm has the slower sound you expect of a ballad and also acts as a calming factor before the level of energy in the songs changes with Angel or Devil. The way in which the sound changes to be this more upbeat but also indicates the idea the song presents of choices.

The Dream Chapter : Eternity

when this came out i was so shocked. Honestly the change of concept took me by suprise but it works so well fo rthem. Starting with Drama, God the MV for this song makes me so so so sad. This story being somthing that presents the idea of feeling like your the main character in the story / Friend group but you aren't is somthing that isnt usually explored in the realm of kpop Lyricism. Now the title can't you see me. This song is so different to the others they released prior and it is such an intreting way for them to have diversified their sound more. Following from this, Fairy of Shampoo seriously contrasts this and shows how well TXT are when it comes to the elegent kind of sound. Yes its a cover, sure, but it has the same kind of TXT flare that makes it their own, and their breathy vocals work so well for it. This song also allows for a perfect transition to Maze in the mirror. This song is mosty produced by Beomgyu, but also is written by the entirety of txt. This song really expresses the desperate way in which Beomgyu must have been feeling, as he has said prior that it reflect how he personaly felt during his struggles as a trainee, which makes this song ever more heart breaking. This song is then followed by Puma, which has an extreamly different sound to Maze in the mirror, but also present the idea of escaping but also the hesitation and fear that comes with that, and it is reflected in the power of the song and the lyrics also. This is then followed by the really confusing song that is Eternally. As a new moa i found this song so confusing. but the unique sound structure is somthing i can admire, as well as the use of this track for the story of the star seekers .*( i might post on this)

Minisode 1: Blue Hour

well say hello to what is, To me , TXT's Dreampop and Disco house era. Ghosting provides this Dreamy yet somehow ironic sound. It sounds so calm and yet the song's lyrics are literally about being ghosted by someone and missing them. This is then followed by the Discopop king that is Blue Hour. The mix of Disco sounds and Yet TXT's own electronic touches from the disco house genre make it the kind of song id happily bop to in the summer in a field. It gives this feeling of "hey ! lets do this!" to me somehow. This is followed by we lost the summer. This song being about how C0vid has affected the youth is somthing that is so important in the lyrics of the song and also the MV. yet it is also somehow slightly upbeat. This is then followed by the brilliant track that is Wishlist. Yes, I tried to avoid overplaying it due to the hype but i love it. its a style i hope TXT can do more of. Way home also perfectly follows wishlist as the kind of song i coud see being played in a cafe and creating this specific sound that works so well with the to round the mini album out. its this slightly dreamy sound that i love so much from them

The Chaos Chapter: Freeze and The Chaos Chapter: Fight or Escape

this era. I alerady miss it. Badly. Like. The experimental Pop-rock duo of title tracks that are 0X1=Lovesong and LO$ER=LOVER both give a unique concept and an intresting vibe that TXT expreimented with over both eras. Then to start with the B-sides, Firstly Anti-Romantic is Genius. Playing on both eletronic sounds and yet being the balad of the album and going viral on tiktok with 0 influance from hybe or TXT at all is brilliant. Now Magic. Magic is a song i have an odd attachment to due to nostalgia, and the song reflects for my the style of the Producer, Olly Murs. As well as this, It being their first original english track feels fitting for the song, and is such a nice song to vibe to, yet again in the summer. Now Ice cream, well it has a unique style. its calm yet energetic and and intresting too, it feels like a break in the style of the album. What if i was that puma continues the calmer energetic style that feels like it fits in a calmer happy playlist, as well as being a nice call back to puma from the dream chapter eternity. No Rules follows in the style of being a call back to new rules from the dream chapter Magic, and also follows its rebelious nature, also breaking up the flow of the album but in a refrehing way. Moa Diary (Dubadu wari wari) follows No Rules, and, as a fan song, its quite a happy song and it has this sort of endlessly happy feeling that is so nice to hear in a fan song, as well as this, it references their other songs within the choreography. This happiness is then immediately followed by the heavier track that is Dear Sputnik, which was once again produced by Diamond Maknae Hueningkai. Referencing the Sputnik telescope , but also the idea that sputnik also means companion, and the song reflects this also. The song also well showcases their Vocals. If you thought TXT coudn't do a concept darker then PUMA, Look right at Frost. Its a heavier, deeper track that plays well on the member's Low registers, But also works so well to present the somewhat scary souding lyrics, but you never really know how desperate and deep the lyrics are without reading the translations. you will literally be so shocked. The final track is The Emocore remix of OX1=Lovesong, Their is no new lyrics, but just a more emotive and rock sounding intramental that reflects the lyrics.

OSTs, Collaborations and Japanese releases

now onto a quick lightning round of one sentence reveiws for this section because ive written so much already:

Reviewing Discography : Seventeen!

Hey Whoever is reading this :D This is my first discography review, so please bear with me! i am just working out how to format this and how i need to write this, so i hope this works and is a good thinf to read through, if there is anything wrong, let me know!

Title Tracks

oh my god. I cannot praise their titles enough. It’s hard to be able to pull off such varied title tracks to such a success, and Personally I’ve never disliked one of their titles. Their ability to vary their sound and concept and still keep it in this kind of “Seventeen” sound they have developed in their titles . Saying that though, im never actually bored of their title tracks. They know how far to take it when making a song unique but still making it their own.

B-Sides

if you think their titles are good, their B-sides are of the exact same kind of caliber. Very much a sound that is so clearly a part of seventeen’s sound, but also much more experimental, but in doing so you get some real bops out of it like Anyone and Holiday. They are like gems, if you want to stan them i highly recomend just sitting down and playing albums in full when you have the time, because you won’t regret it

Japanese Title Tracks

ok their japanese title tracks are bops. The ballads are calm and CALL CALL CALL, Fallin’ Flower, 24Hr all are such bops and I love them so much like can more kpop artists follow their example by having such an intresting style of song for their japanese debuts and comebacks please!

Solo Tracks

I’ve not had a track ive disliked bfrom their solos yet. I’ve been initially confused sure (mainly with Ruby but that confused me since it was in full english) but they are all bops, i can’t wait for when they have comebacks solo or more members debut solo!

anyway that will wrap it up since i do not have much else to say. I absolutely love so much of Seventeens discography and i hope you liked this, I plan to do more of these so stay on the look out!

have a good morning/day/evening/night wherever you are!
