Jung Kook is such a chameleon… his voice is plainly beautiful, but also somehow so distinct and versatile at the same time??
In Hate You he literally sounds like a Shawn Mendes-Jung Kook hybrid and in Yes or No I can HEAR Ed in his voice?! Maybe partly cause Shawn and Ed are both such distinctive song writers too, same with his Michael Hobi Jackson (he gives me so many j-hope feels in that vid 🥺🥹) vibes in Standing Next to You… and then who even is he in Somebody? A whole new R&B persona.
I’m sure some of this is due to production and auto-tuning, but I truly just think he is one of the true vocal talents of pop right now. You just know people are lining up to work with him, and I love that for him.
Keep those chords nice and healthy while you serve baby, people will be waiting eagerly for you and them to return 😊
Can’t wait to see where his career goes 💖 feelin’ like a proud sis right now.
P.S. even 3D has grown on me 😫 when he whispers champagne confetti…OOF
Closer To You - It sounds cool. I like that breathy-deep voice thing Jungkook does.
Seven - here and here. I made more posts, which you can all find if you search my blog for seven or jungkook, but these two feel like the main ones.
Standing Next To You - I actually really like the chorus on this one. I don't really get the deep "standing next to you" part (google said that's the post-chorus??) but it doesn't sound bad.
Yes Or No - It sounds so damn good. That's the one Ed Sheeran worked on, right? That guy definitely know how to make an earworm. (Seriously, I occasionally hum Thinking Out Loud and I don't think I ever listened to the whole song of my own volition. Also Bad Habits.)
Please Don't Change - It's nice. I could do without the repeated "I love you" part though.
Hate You - I don't usually say this, but knowing Shawn Mendes worked on the song, I can kind of hear him on it. Definitely not a favorite though, I'm generally not a fan of people singing about hating their exes for no reason. What a healthy way to deal with sadness.
Somebody - The second verse has a good rhythm. I don't hate it, but it doesn't stand out.
Too Sad To Dance - You know what, I do enjoy a happy sounding sad song. And I can imagine myself sitting on the bus after a long day, resting as I listen to this. It sounds soft.
Shot Glass of Tears - Again, a very soft and relaxing sound, but the lyrics are too obviously sad to make it a "relaxing on the bus home" type of a song.
Over all, as you can probably tell, this isn't my favorite release of Chapter 2, by far.
I don't hate mainstream pop relationship songs, but I rarely get obsessed with one the way I usually do with Bangtan's songs.
Honestly, I was just expecting something different when the Weverse announcement said the album is " inspired by the golden moments of Jung Kook, the golden maknae of BTS and a solo artist." I was ready for something more introspective than what is essentially a break-up album.
I also don't undestand why both versions of Seven are on there. Is it because the clean version is the official one but the explicit version is more popular?
I don't hate it. If any of the songs came up on the radio, I wouldn't change the stations. But I'll have to give it a few more chances to see if I would go out of my way to listen to it.
And of course, to end on a positive note, the visuals are nice.
EDIT: Apparently Jungkook said in an interview that the lyrics shouldn't be read as autobiographical, which I already suspected, but then... what the hell was that "inspired by the golden moments" bit about then?

JungKook "Guadagna l'Oro" al Primo Colpo
__ Una recensione del suo nuovo album, GOLDEN __
__ di SEO SEONG-DEOK | 14. 11. 2023
Twitter | Orig. KOR
Con il rilascio di “Seven" (feat. Latto), quest'estate, Jung Kook ha dato il via alle promozioni del suo album di debutto solista, GOLDEN, in quello che potremmo descrivere come il suo arco (creativo) d'oro. Col senno di poi, appare chiaro che “Seven” era già un indizio delle idee e valori che stanno dietro la creazione di GOLDEN. La versione esplicita non fa solo uso di un linguaggio forte, ma vede anche riferimenti sessuali legati all'amore che può nascere tra due persone. Nel contesto pop, è ormai storia vecchia, ma per qualche motivo il K-pop sembra aver sempre evitato questo territorio, finché questa canzone non è esplosa nella scena musicale coreana. Ed il fatto che Jung Kook sia sempre stato – e forse dovremmo dire, sempre sarà – il più giovane del gruppo non è l'unico motivo per cui questa traccia è giunta così inaspettata. Molti media coreani sembrano far finta che il verso “I’ll be f**king you right” non esista. E il fatto che la canzone sia completamente in inglese probabilmente aiuta. È lo stesso Jung Kook ad aver affrontato questo enorme tabù con un semplice, “Quanti anni ho?”
youtube
“Sono contento si percepisca un senso di maturità”, ha detto Jung Kook nella sua recente intervista con GQ. “Ma non è stata una cosa intenzionale. Più un risultato naturale, direi.” E questo significa sostanzialmente che non si è mai preoccupato intenzionalmente di scrivere altri brani espliciti o scervellato più di tanto riguardo le tematiche da trattare. Le tracce di GOLDEN seguono il percorso emotivo coinvolto in una relazione sentimentale: le prime scintille d'amore in “Closer to You” (feat. Major Lazer) e “Yes or No”, la sicurezza sconfinata di “3D” (feat. Jack Harlow) e “Standing Next to You”, la disperazione più nera in “Hate You” ed il dolore derivato dalla rottura in “Too Sad to Dance” e “Shot Glass of Tears”.
Jung Kook non ha scritto né prodotto alcuna canzone in quest'album, optando piuttosto per rivolgersi ad autori e produttori fidati. Mentre il primo è un caso piuttosto raro, se guardiamo quali sono i trend del momento nell'ambito della produzione musicale in studio, quest'ultimo – il rivolgersi ad autori e produttori esterni – è la norma.
“Standing Next to You” è una traccia eccezionale prodotta da Andrew Watt - autore anche di “Seven” - e Cirkut. Shawn Mendes è tra i co-autori di “Hate You”. Ed Sheeran ha partecipato alla stesura di “Yes or No”, per cui ha suonato anche alcune parti alla chitarra. Jung Kook trae ispirazione dai suoi gusti musicali per selezionare delle belle tracce e poter successivamente dare prova delle sue incredibili abilità canore su questi brani pop. Ma mentre la traccia UK garage“Seven” e “3D”, che è in stile anni 2000, ci hanno mostrato cos'è la musica rètro per questi artisti più giovani, “Standing Next to You” oltrepassa sfrecciando Usher, fino ad arrivare - ben più indietro - a Michael Jackson, prendendo in prestito il suo sound funk/disco. L'album non si limita a giocare sulla linea pop, ma si rifà anche alla musica dance. “Closer to You”, prodotta in collaborazione con Major Lazer, presenta elementi di reggaeton, e “Please Don’t Change” featuring DJ Snake, è una sorta di ode a come il DJ ha saputo portare persino Justin Bieber alla ribalta.

Un album spesso è accompagnato da diverse aspettative: ambizione artistica, composizione organica, auto-rappresentazione. Tuttavia, un album è, innanzi tutto, un portfolio dei lavori dell'artista in relazione ad un dato momento e luogo. Il valore di un album si basa sull'impatto e le impressioni che sa lasciarsi dietro. Nel caso di GOLDEN, abbiamo la rinascita a vera e propria pop star di un membro di una boy band di impareggiabile successo. Dato che la storia tende a ripetersi, possiamo dire di aver già assistito a molti casi in cui il membro più giovane di un gruppo ottiene un enorme successo anche come solista. Robbie Williams, Justin Timberlake e Harry Styles sono tutti esempi di questo fenomeno, dopotutto. E forse non è una casualità. Forse dipende proprio dal fatto che coloro che iniziano la propria carriera musicale nell'adolescenza, hanno il privilegio di lavorare in un gruppo fin dalla più tenera età e diventare star del pop di grandissimo impatto e popolarità, anche grazie alle tante risorse messe a loro disposizione da quest'opportunità.
Però nessuno si sarebbe aspettato di vedere questa 'teoria del più giovane' trasposta anche nel K-pop. Probabilmente è anche merito del successo globale dei BTS se Jung Kook ha potuto collaborare con menti creative internazionali di altissima levatura, cantare esclusivamente in inglese di fronte al mondo intero e, infine, diventare una pop star in grado di dare il meglio di sé in generi musicali di suo gradimento, senza il rischio di incorrere in blocchi creativi.
Interpellato a riguardo, Jung Kook ha così definito il successo: “Non credo il successo debba essere qualcosa che siano altri a determinare. Semplicemente, quando si è soddisfattə di sé, felici, quando si affrontano difficoltà, ci si arrabbia – credo il “successo” sia sempre intrinsecamente legato a tutti quei momenti”. GOLDEN non è solo una storia di successo, dunque, ma anche uno sguardo sulla soddisfazione, la felicità, le difficoltà e la frustrazione che l'hanno accompagnato, nonché quelle a venire. E visto il costante ripetersi della storia, è una scommessa difficile a perdersi.

I wish you went behind my back
And told me lies and stuff like that
I wish you kissed someone I know
And did the unforgivable
Maybe hatin' you's the only way it doesn't hurt
So I'm gonna hate you
I'm gonna hate you
Paint you like the villain that you never were
I'm gonna blame you
For things that you don't do
Hating you's the only way it doesn't hurt
We weren't perfect, but we came close
Until I put all of our pain under the microscope
And I still can't face it
I'm still in love, for what it's worth
Maybe hatin' you's the only way it doesn't hurt
So I'm gonna hate you
I'm gonna hate you
Paint you like the villain that you never were
I'm gonna blame you
For things that you don't do
Hatin' you's the only way it doesn't hurt
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
It's not the truth
It's not the cure
But hatin' you's the only way it doesn't hurt.

Preferirei tu mi avessi pugnalato alle spalle
Che mi avessi mentito o altro
Preferirei avessi baciato qualcuno che conosco
O fatto cose imperdonabili
Forse odiarti è l'unico modo per non soffrire
Quindi ho deciso che ti odio
Ti odio
Ti farò passare per la/il cattivə che non sei mai statə
Ti darò la colpa
Per cose che non hai fatto
Odiarti è l'unico modo per non soffrire
Non eravamo perfettə ma ci andavamo vicinə
Finché non ho ben pensato di andare a fossilizzarmi
su tutte le nostre difficoltà
E ancora non riesco ad ammetterlo
Ti amo ancora, per quel che vale
Forse odiarti è l'unico modo per non soffrire
Quindi ho deciso che ti odio
Ti odio
Ti farò passare per la/il cattivə che non sei mai statə
Ti darò la colpa
Per cose che non hai fatto
Odiarti è l'unico modo per non soffrire
