i think black swan by bts would be interesting to hear your thoughts. the song has two versions. one is the "normal" version, which is on the album and has an MV with the boys and the second one, which was the initial release video is a different version, which is the "art film" danced by a dance company. the second one is more string heavy. both versions give off different vibes

[@skylararellanez]

i would recommend for full albums either love yourself: tear or their newest album map of the soul: 7. i never got into kpop until recently but the thing i think is super cool about bts is how many genres, unit songs, and solo work in each album, it allows them as musicians to shine on their own or collaborate w just a few select members

[@catschneider8237]

WINGS is a great album too, a bit shorter but with as much, or even more, diversity in the styles/sounds.

It kinda feels good to see someone reacting on their music, voice, not just their faces. Not that it is bad. It is just by this, they can know it not only because they're handsome, but because they really are amazing artists, as individuals and as a group, especially if the reactor doesn't focus on only one person in the group but all of them. I feel very proud of BTS. They've come so far yet they're still that lovely K-pop group I first saw them as. Amazing, a family, sweet and strong people and group. I purple those guy seriously.

if you react to “map of the soul: 7” i would recommend that you do “map of the soul: persona” first since it has the same first 5 songs of mots:7 + 2 more. mots:7 has 20 tracks in total so having heard those already would make your video shorter and you would get to hear two more amazing songs :) (i explained it as well as i could so sorry if i made any mistakes, english isn’t my first language!!)

oh yes please ,do more BTS, u will be amazed by their music. Like BTS said themselves ,they dont belong to any genre their genre is BTS and u will get that when u listen to their albums(which they have thematic approach and u need to listen to them with the order) .They have massive catalogue of songs from hiphop to house edm,beautiful ballads,new soul etc etc.. They "mix" the sound very well, they take part in the process of creating the songs from producing and songwriting and to not mention the dancing part :) Btw people will argue if BTS belong to the "kpop" genre, they NOT! when u hear kpop u instantly think about bubblegum pop songs, well mostly not and especially about BTS(i can say the last 5 years kpop changed its sound but still some concept remain the same) BTS is just beyond kpop cuz within kpop u feel limited. but anyways,you seem very knowledgeable about music production and you explain it good aswell so that we can understand it,thank you and we ,Armys, BTS's fans we will appreciate to continue reacting to their songs :)

[@teobejbebejbe25]

Actually I would say now they make more international music.. Music for more people(because they have A LOT of fans in Europe). So,that for me is progress,and pleasing every fan on worldwide(😂💜),while still being themselves,enjoying every second of every song... I see a lot of Korean fans being jealous,it's just pointless.

[@littlelou050]

People didn't like it because this was where they properly exploded and gained massive amounts of attention from the west. That's why all the comments of this song being too western or generic came from. This song isn't western sounding at all, I couldn't imagine an American or British artist doing this sound. It's a bright, edm/pop sound. It's very much like the rest of kpop
