P1Harmony - Harmony: Zero In album review
completely unsolicited but i just need to rant about how good it is. that is all. also new era let’s go!!!!!
Doom Du Doom (+MV):
First watch: love it, it’s so much fun, definitely a fun summer vibe but also the same social commentary that’s become the norm for p1h. The video is sick, I have to look at details, also the concept is so fun with the olympic games. I do have to ask though - where are my kid Soul’s lines??? Music wise, the build-ups are gorgeous and I’m obsessed with that baseline in the chorus. Also heavy metal guy is my bias lmao
Second watch: the guitar hook is everything omfg. Then acoustic guitar repeating it, fun! BASELINE, BASELINE, BASELINE. Catch me singing this all summer long (and my whole existence too).
Jiung’s ‘torch’ being burning bouquet of flowers? Immaculate.
Piwon and rooftop choreo = match made in heaven
Y’all, forest harmony episode idea: doing a mini olympics with all the fake sports from the video
Jiung watching that building explode is my new aesthetic
That fact that Soul’s winning the rooftop biking thing haha
The symbolic burning of the flags too, omg I love a little anarchy <3 also the detail of the new flags having their names on them
Black Hole:
Very hip hop track, the production is insane. build-up/ pre-chorus, love it. Oh jeez when the chorus hits!!! Jiung’s adlibs (or is it Soul)? Funky af. The noise music elements are so different from what we’ve heard before but it’s awesome. P1h acapella like harmonies are superior omfg, literally vocal legends.
showcase note: holy moly Soul has lines!!!! idk how i didn’t hear it, also the choreo is incredible
Yes man:
Video game song? Reminds me a little of ‘game boi’ by Seventeen for a sec. love the instrumental in the verses omg. The way Jiung owns this song and also my heart hahahaa. Intak’s gentle rap tone but also angelic Jongseobie. Heart eyes for this song ahhhh. Also Intak singing singing yessss. Seobie’s “i’ll be your missing piece” brb crying. Two part bridge my beloved, also the hardest we go in this song when the rappers take the first part, then back to fluffy marshmallow land.
Swagger:
The baseline ashfiudshhdshd. Little brass in the chorus, makes the song very classy, love. P1h understanding the assignment as always; the idea that like beauty, swagger comes from within. BASELINE BASELINE BASELINE. The piano before the second chorus, gimme more pls. Too busy enjoying to process anything haha. The song zig zags its way into your heart <3 (also stephy very swaggy asflsddshd)
Mirror Mirror:
Oh shit the processed brass(?) hook. Piwon vocal legends y’all, I’m stunned. This song sits at the same table as Scared - aggressively telling us to love ourselves and be ourselves. LOOKING FRESH LOOKING DEADLY WE GOT EM ALL IN A FRENSY - I’m about to combust a;sfhsduhush (also they’re correct). That bridge took me out, I’m not here, mentally I’m inside the music software creating this masterpiece. This is the song that p1eces will be getting turnt to for a decade, i’m calling it now.
Different song for me:
Peacemaker’s cousin? Piwon ballad style songs are for the soul. I was wrong - this ain’t near a ballad - it’s so much better. It’s that formulaically beautiful uplifting chord progression. Literally so absorbed in the song I forgot I was writing something yeeet. This is going on the piwon list of songs you can cry to at 3am.
showcase note: they called it a ‘medium pop ballad’ and yes that explains it
conclusion:
I have to get it off my chest before I launch into praise; where are Soul’s 1) lines, 2) eyebrows? (jk about 2 but seriously fish cake get it together). I feel like we were progressively getting more of Soul’s voice on the albums but this time I’m like??? ok, now for the good stuff.
JFC THE PRODUCTION ON THIS ALBUM IS AMAZING IT’S NEW AND DIFFERENT BUT SO SO P1HARMONY AT THE SAME TIME. Don’t mind me, I’m obsessed with the way all the components of the songs fit together.
The members are just idk they’re just getting better and better and i’m really proud of them. I’ve said it before, i’ll say it again: PIWON GOD TIER DISCOGRAPHY.
