BamBam’s Sour & Sweet (My thoughts) Album + MV

March 28th came and went, and suffice to say BamBam did deliver. The music video was as dramatic and symbolic as I’d hope it would be, and the visuals were top notch. I believe the music video’s premise was about how BamBam moonlights as a gentlemen/high class thief, but he’s unaware of that because the ‘sour’ side of himself is setting in due to having a dissociative identity disorder (like in the Kdrama Bad & Crazy), or he has an alter ego. So, he’s unaware of when he turns into his dark persona, and he probably runs away from it. As Carl Jung would say, BamBam’s sour side is his “shadow.”

***(The rest maybe TL;DR for some. You’ve been warned!)***

Moving on, I really did enjoy the album. I listened to it all the way through 3+ times, and I came to really like all the songs. But my all time faves were, “Feather”, “Wings”, “Take it Easy”, “Tippy Toe”, and “Ghost”.

“Let’s Dance” did grow on me in the end. But “Sour and Sweet” and “About You” are still having to take some getting used to. I don’t know why the title track isn’t quite a bop for me. But someone said it reminded them of the 80s, so it’ll eventually grow on me. It definitely doesn’t sound like “Slow Mo” or “Ribbon”, so I’m glad his singles don’t have a repetitive (similar) sound/melody. It’s a good thing.

Therefore, I believe the album speaks on different types of love. I believe it speaks on the kind of love my grandparents had. Their love was very old school, everlasting, fated, sour, and sweet. The kind of love 50s singers sing about. A Sunday kind of love.

The album represents how all love is both sour and sweet. It be self-love, familial love, romantic love, platonic love, and so on. It’s about falling in love and out of love with a person, but still staying committed to them.

In the end, I enjoyed the concept, MV, and album. But it didn’t feel like a full album. TBH, it felt like an 8 track album, but the tracks were all 2-minute previews. I’m still holding out for when 40-something year old BamBam releases those compilation albums and deluxe albums with the extended versions of all his tracks (including the instrumentals). Yet, if you like old school rnb with a dreamy twist, and you have a short attention span (or not), this album is for you. I rate it a 9/10. I genuinely did enjoy it.

(Jinyoung - Mom and Jay B - Dad made an appearance at his showcase. 🥰 🥰 🥰 I thought it was a sweet and touching moment. Although, I do wonder why it feels like Jay B hasn’t enlisted. Are they loosening up the restrictions for Kpop entertainers/celebs? Is there something I’m missing?)

The album might turn into a no-skip for me. It was easy listening.
