Musicians React & Review: PURPLE KISS 'Zombie'!

[@ReacttotheK]

Our interview with Purple Kiss is finally up!!! Hope you have fun watching it, Plory~ kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3LUea15jLWbp7s

[@moonjewel_1weus]

Hello, Thank you for reacting to Purple Kiss :) Funfact: Onewe's bassist Cya (the guy who made a cameo in the end) participated in doing bridge of this song. Speaking of Onewe, may I recommend doing a reaction video of the songs from Onewe's new album "Planet Nine: Alter Ego". They even released 3 Music Videos of different songs from the album: Rain To Be (Title Track) Mainly composed by Kanghyun (their guitarist). The song is inspired by the members themselves. Whenever Onewe has a schedule of filming. it would rain. Hence, the Korean title “The Boy Who Brings Rain”. It's one of Onewe’s songs with the fastest beat. Veronica - The song is mainly about reminiscing the feeling of first love and was said to be completed in 5 days by the members. It has a refreshing vibe compared to the title track and was composed by CyA inspired by his first crush in preschool. AuRoRa - This song has been performed by Onewe long before its release and was among the most anticipated songs by the fans. It’s also among Onewe’s strongest songs vocally. Composed by Kanghyun, the song has a dreamy atmosphere that attempts to capture the vibes of an actual aurora

[@TinchoRz]

I've been listening to zombie a ton, this is probably one of my favorite songs of the year so far, the bass line is great, the instrumental is solid and groovy and the topline is so much fun! the vocal direction and performance matched perfectly, you can tell they had fun recording it, and all those silly adlibs are just brilliant haha, a bop overall! the whole album is great tbh! pleasently surprised with Purple Kiss!

[@keroll2u974]

Omg me too!!!

[@signingoffbye]

[@baan6737]

YEZZZZ!!

[@user-pn9db6qs7l]

Yes please 🥰🙏

[@joi803]

Oh yes please!!

[@vocalyn]

Yesss pleasee

[@aisyahaziz8489]

Absolutely true! This comment need to be shout louder.

[@Avi.joyyy12]

Zombie is really catchy!!! The pre chorus is absolutely gold, it sounds so magical!!! Also, good luck on the interview, especially since you have to wake up at 2am.

[@jblev736]

I wasn't expecting Umu to do this since these duo reactions had slowed down because of her wrist issue and then covid. Buy I am soooo happy that we get to see this! My favorite part in any purple kiss song is Yuki's fire flow. Reminds me a lot of pH-1 where their flows just fit with any song and genre. It feels melodic in a way Edit: Ohhh nice! We will get an interview and the piano kpop guessing game!! I'm excited

[@bungangero23]

Kevin: the 1-5-9 Me, who doesn't know a lick of music theory: oh yes the 1-5-9 it's interesting It's great to listen to these kinds of reactions which breakdown the songs and not just a "reaction".

[@JF0807]

Twinkle has become my top listened song to of all time in such a small time. From the vocals, to the rap section, the use of the synth pattern AND type, and to go into that SUPER fun tropical house drop was JUST my cup of tea. Shoutout to Cast Pearls Before Swine as well because that is also another BANGER to listen to with high quality audio.

[@serendestiny7574]

same omg, Twinkle is THAT song for me right now

[@ayydinata]

Twinkle and So Why. But their B sides are great

[@camiloh2443]

Yay I'm so happy that you guys checked this out! What I love about this song is that all the production choices like the screams, the cheering, the random onomatopoeias , the ad libs all work in harmony to create just the funnest listening experience. Also shoutout to Yuki for rapping her heart out, her writing throughout the album is phenomenal. Can't wait for the interview!!

[@YeoMiniYoshi]

6:49 when kevin sang it sounded like oneus's a song written easily. am i the only one who noticed? 👀

[@ReacttotheK]

🤭🤫😉

[@YeoMiniYoshi]

@@ReacttotheK 😄 so that's what's censored haha

[@YeoMiniYoshi]

@@ReacttotheK should i delete? :O

[@KiKaraage]

Yea I was like DAMN ASWE and Zombie chorus chords sounds kinda close???? 😂

[@ReacttotheK]

Nahhh, there's like 10+ other people in the comment section who got it too XDD excited for you guys to hear Kevin's classical piano version of it! :)

[@salmaaljabor3563]

I can't wait for the interview! Love your analysis and review. So far, I've really liked the music of Purple Kiss. I also think Zombie sounds something like Brown Eyed Girls would kinda have. My favorite tracks from the Hide & Seek EP are 2am, So WhY & ZzZz.

[@Digggyyyyy]

I'm fully in love with this song. So catchy, the vocals are fantastic, and Yuki's rap was the best I've heard in a mainstream k-pop song in a very long time. The song's so good it's gotten me into Purple Kiss and I've learnt the members' names. Here's hoping they continue making such amazing pop music!

[@velvety3459]

I can't even BEGIN to tell you how seeing this show up made my heart skip a beat!! So excited for the interview :D

[@serendestiny7574]

I see what you did there 😋

[@danilaralalara]

this song is so good i wasn’t sold with their debut but zombie just made me really interested in what they will do in the future

[@allenwalker8615]

I'm so glad you guys reacted to this :D While I really enjoyed Ponzona, this feels a lot more fitting for them as a group. They found a good sound here though I recognize they're probally gonna jump around like Mamamoo. I do hope they keep some dark tones whatever they try. They really fit darker concepts even if they are on the more silly/cute side like Zombie. My favorite bsides are ZzZz and 2AM. So far. It changes a lot.

[@danha3107]

Yeah in the end it’s up to what they want to do, but I LOVED the ponzona concept and I hope they come back to it at some point

[@reveriesance]

An interview with _the_ Purple Kiss????? Umu, you've come a looong, long way. I'm so happy for you!! 🥺

[@ED-jy1de]

Superb song.. Was waiting for your reaction.. And especially now the interview ( i mentioned about the interview in a previous song comment). Glad you picked up the amazing production on this song, many reactors missed this entirely. And Kevin picked out the balanced start production, not too much of anything, guitar, percussion, bass or voice... Purple Kiss for me is the most exciting new Girl Group currently in kpop. They've hit the target on all fronts.

[@ELmayberry]

wasn't expecting this. love Zombie. it's a bop also not a fan of fruitcake but what an interesting analogy.

[@peisijing]

aaaa im so happy youre reacting to them because i was OBSESSED with their debut album lmaooo they have a completely different concept this comeback so it really shows how versatile they are when most new groups stick to the same concept only. cant wait for the interview though! (and also excited for deja vu & queendom album reactions AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)

[@becalmhyejin]

I loved this as their first comeback! It's also so cool CyA (Onewe) helped with the lyrics and also made a surprise cameo at the end!

[@Den-wb4bz]

Cast Pearls Before Swine is such a good song in their album too! God I love this group so much. Thank you for your reaction.

[@confusedsomnimoo903]

dude! so excited for your interview with them! love you guys and this group, exciting times

[@MatthewGaither]

Like Kevin said Zombie is a grower. It didn't immediately jump out at me when I first listened to the album but the more I listened to it the more satisfying it was. It's just a really well-made song with top notch production. It's super fun and Yuki's rap parts along with the bridge are my favorites.

[@Superion74]

Thanks for reacting to Purple Kiss' Zombie! It's such a bop and a great song, and I hope more people will listen & fall in love with it.

[@breakforthechorus6230]

Thanks for reacting to my newest ult group Umu and Kevin! Ya'll are such an iconic duo, I love seeing your reactions together. Kevin and his incredible ear again. This entire album is gold and definitely worth checking out. The musicality in their album content has not disappointed me yet. Purple Kiss on the Bloody Top. 🔥

[@celestisima]

I really really love this song. I'm addicted. The bass, the production, the vocals, the raps (the DUET RAP!! please)... Thanks for this reaction. Looking forward for the interview!!

[@Ninesky1]

I would love to name my favorite song off the EP but they're all legit SO good, it's tough to pick one... but if I was forced to choose I'd probably say So Why. Can't wait for the interview tho the girls are all incredibly sweet, loud and funny, hope you enjoyed talking to them, that's a dream coming true, for me at least! 😅

[@static-san]

This song is one my favourites from 2021. That it's a bop is amazing but the production values are astonishingly high and are a great match for the clear talents of the girls.

[@stephendoe7594]

I freakin' love this channel! Y'all the best! This song has grown on me so much, not that I wasn't into it to begin with. It's a comeback from one of the four horsemen after all, even if it wasn't exactly what I was expecting. I'm a sucker for songs with a funky vibe though, so not sure how valid my opinion actually is. Also, "Purple Kiss on bloody top" is one of the most metal things I've ever heard.

[@theknightolympia]

So WhY still my favorite so far in this album, maybe its super biased, cuz recently i really love a song with active basslines, thats why i love this song too hahaha

[@chaewonsglasses]

I freaked out when I saw this pop up! I love this group so much too!

[@erikat.3039]

this comeback is very good!! support purple kiss!!

[@doodlesbyalex8765]

Thank you so much for reacting to Purple Kiss!! They have so much potential, and it's wonderful to see them getting more appreciation as time goes by. My favorite song from HIDE & SEEK has to be either ZzZz (they made this song during their trainee days) or Cast Pearls Before Swine (which they all choreographed by the way hehe)!! Looking forward to the interview and the game :)))

[@Cascade777]

3:24 I CAN'T STOP WATCHING THIS REACTION HELP😂😂😂

[@michelstephanygarces9431]

When Kevin was talking about the melody of the song at around 6:46 , I realized that it is similar to Oneus' A Song Written Easily!! Omfg! Also Cya contributed to the lyrics, RBW is on firee

[@serendestiny7574]

my favorite song on the album is for sure Twinkle, it just makes me so happy ! the vocals are so gorgeous on this track

[@amber-sj8ri]

I've been watching this channel for so long, yet I'm still amazed on how you guys have so much knowledge about music! I enjoy this kind of reaction much more than just the regular "reaction"

[@maikee734]

Oh yeeeey! Thank you for reacting to Purple Kiss. Zombie is their first comeback and it's so awesome

[@asant563]

I'm so excited about the interview!!!!! Thank you for reviewing their latest title track!

[@a-alyrics6876]

I would definitely watch the interview.. Please release it soon..

[@sophie427]

Really excited for the interview! This is really one of my favorite come backs this year.

[@why_melli]

the bridge is otherworldly good omg i am just obsessed with this comeback

[@annafirnen4815]

When Kevin played those chords on the piano and said it reminded him of something the first ones literally sounded like BEAST - On Rainy Days & ONEUS - A Song Written easily XD and people already noticed the similarity in those two so I guess we kind of have 3rd one just not so obvious LOL

[@maikee734]

WAIT! 6:44 sounds very much like Oneus' A Song Written Easily. Ooooh

[@najla7901]

YOURE GONNA INTERVIEW PURPLE KISS??????? AAKKKKKK CANT WAIT CRYYYYYY

[@abearicano]

RBW: What concept do you want next that suits our signature purple color? Purple Kiss: Macaroni box across the room™

[@CA-wh3yf]

HAHAHHA the intro was so fun. ¨I´m not a Zombie..Then what are you?¨ lol

[@m.jackson6802]

I am fully convinced the little guitar before the chorus is a Prince "Kiss" reference. It's probably not, but I'm convinced anyway

[@colorinmymoods]

im so glad to finally see this!! im in love with purple kiss!

[@sweeterthansweets5439]

I'm so happy that you react to this. since you react to purplekiss, you should check out ONEWE's songs. THEY'RE ALSO SO GOOD

[@n00bywarrior]

There's something about Umu and Kevin reactions that just make them my favorite. Thanks for doing this one guys, I hope you are both doing well ❤️

[@으니-m7z]

Love how you guys describe how you felt throughout the song and literally just how you explain things as a whole~ So happy that the reaction for ATEEZ is soon to come!!! Thank you always~~ XD

[@hamakey]

6:44 a song written easily by oneus...? (coincidence but the second song on that album is called hide and seek)

[@jjjulia127]

Same thought)))

[@AyemJen]

Loved Zombie! Excited for your interview with them

[@nguyenhatien1787]

The high note is an interesting topic I want to talk about. New kpop songs nowadays don't really have climax anymore, I feel like they lean towards either a more experienced sound and structure of the song or a chill and relaxed vibe which doesn't leave space for climax. "Zombie" has a climax with Goeun's high note and that's one of the reason why I like this song. However, it also didn't go fully explosive like Umu expected it to be, which is one of a must-have feature of older kpop songs, maybe from early 3rd gen and earlier. That change in music style is one interesting thing that I notice recently.

[@joannac728]

cant wait for your reaction on Mamamoo's new album! You're my fave reactors "musicality" wise. This channel really made me learn how to appreciate music properly.

[@pitchy2490]

This song sooooo catchy! I like it from the first listening

[@navilleracoaster5958]

OMG NOW I UNDERSTAND WHO REMINDS ME SWAN SO MUCH!!!! UMU LOOKS QUITE LIKE HER!!!!

[@thetaerdin]

Wow I missed this one. Awesome song

[@kpopmaine]

Another awesome reaction/review! Thank you :) You've probably addressed this before: I was wondering how the visual components influence your analyses, if at all, bc the videos are a LOT of visual stimuli thrown at you at once.

[@minniemoon1962]

Wowwwww... Can't wait for the interview ❤️❤️❤️

[@soochaery]

OMG i wasn’t expecting this! im so happy to see my girls here💜 zombie is such a good song

[@thesdf599]

Always like watching your reactions and glad you got to react to Purple Kiss. Fav song off the new EP has gotta be "ZzZz" for me. Love that each of the members really gets to show off their vocals in the song and just well put together overall.

[@villainsoup]

Ahh I loved this, Zombie really is such a fun song! I’ve been listening to the entire EP on replay since it came out, but I’d have to say Cast Pearls Before Swine or ZzZz are my favorites.... no song is a skip tho!! I’m in awe that they managed to do that with their first cb album 😧💜

[@martinschafer7404]

I'm so happy to see you reacting to Purple Kiss. Looking forward to your interview. I have a terrible time picking a favorite song off of Hide and Seek. I choose So Why most often (probably influenced by the fact that Chaein wrote and composed it (Yuki wrote her rap of course) but no additional names on either. Twinkle and Cast Pearls Before Swine are the others that I have trouble choosing amount.

[@tehlaser]

4:16 Umu grooving is a mood

[@ania3723]

Thank you for your reaction I love Purple Kiss 💜

[@gabgabgabriele]

kevin had a oneus moment right there 😂

[@NathyIsabella]

"THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING BEFORE BRO!" 🤣🤣🤣

[@marsvoltian]

You pulled Dance Monkey and I was grabbing a lot from Dua Lipa, even in some of the vocal pacing too

[@darkstorm08]

This video shows you how a great song can make so many ppl happy for many different reasons.... The comment section is just everyone verbally smiling in the comment and I'm like.. Awe.... *fire* 🔥

[@danha3107]

ever since Umu pointed out that lack of resolution for the final chorus, I can’t unhear it and I’m now torn on whether I miss it

[@J_jae]

i really like this comeback, its very catchy

[@Ash2theB]

Why did the concept reminds me of Zombie Land Saga and I am here for it.

[@MayDawney]

Yay, Purple Kiss, and yay interview!

[@AnEmbarrassmentofBooks]

Have you ever done a video on what all of you see as the difference between kpop and other pop music? That would be so interesting!

[@miss_jess]

Hell yes I LOVE this song and am a new Purple Kiss fan (Swan is my bias!)

[@gretazlouie]

An RTTK interview w Purky! Can't wait for that!! And I think my fav b-sides are Twinkle and ZzZz. Also, Kanghyun's guitar in Twinkle is just fire!

[@munmoonie0094]

OMG SO THE GAME YOU DID WITH VERIVERY IS COMING WITH PURPLEKISS???!!!! Yeayyyy will wait for that!! Take your time ♡

[@cyabluepard]

hello! can you react to onewe? they're band and brother group of oneus! one of the onewe member made a cameo at the end! i hope you can react to them since you guys know about instruments. i would recommend rain to be , AuRoRa amd veronica! thank you 🙏🏻

[@ronawilliams]

I love the song. My favourites from hide and seek are ZzZz and 2am. They are so chill and I love the strings on 2am

[@boodledemic6430]

I have to say it, but the Neil Breen shirt is amazing Kevin 😂

[@kenjichen91]

Dont deny, cutest maknae 3:25 FIREEEEE

[@Zerin666]

React to their b sides too. The vocals are even better !!

[@hithanks2540]

I​ like​ this​ song​ that​ much

[@clairelumiere4837]

Kevin playing the melody the first time. Me: Wait .... A song written easily by Oneus? Recycle bin world is at it again.

[@ddidoul42]

[@applemusic751]

cast pearls before swine is amazing too

[@Lunédiary-9]

This is just amazing

[@hb6529]

[@JELLYFISH0910]

6:49 my brain when to Oneus a song written easily whistle

[@ayydinata]

I thought you will react to So Why, the bass is really good

[@Koroleva.Olga.]

I love purple kiss so much🙏

[@CrimsonWing67]

Wait... is the chord progression exactly same as A song written easily from Oneus????

[@LIAinpink]

I'm guessing yes?? Cause when he humm that melody I got reminded of ASWE as well😂

[@tynguyen2308]

[@adammitchel1894]

[@ryankhosravi3136]

Hey! Just out of curiosity, is there a reason you haven’t reacted to Stayc yet? I think they’re doing super interesting things musically

[@jjjulia127]

My RBW heart is singing “Zombie-biebiebie-biebiebiebiebiebiebie” now)))
