Love you guys... please upload part two as soon as possible.

[@rozi.m]

Fun thing about Tension, it was supposed to be the title track for the Good night album but then it was changed to the Good night we all know. So I think that's why it remindes all of us to their earlier sound.

[@jblev736]

Ohh, interesting. I didn't realize that. Did they talk about it in a vlive?

[@bbdn771]

"BLACK OR WHITE" WRITTEN BY SIYEON, JIU AND DAMI. "JAZZ BAR " WRITTEN BY YOOHYEON, SIYEON. JIU AND DAMI. AND ON JAZZ BAR MOST OF THE HARMONIES AND BACK VOCALS MADE BY YOOHYEON. THEY ARE SUPER TALENTED AND UNIQUE!

[@BenjiMac.]

There's a live version of jazz bar and it's so good.

[@あえ-e4e]

Where can I get information about back vocals? I am sure that Yoohyeon participated at chorus on 새벽 (according to recent vlive) but I've never heard that she participated at chorus on Jazz Bar

[@BenjiMac.]

@@あえ-e4e watch the live version, you'll see her do it

[@VII0777]

The lyrics were written by the girls. The songs were still written by LEEZ and Ollounder.

[@LaughForMeGirl]

あえ Usually Siyeon is credited for the backing vocals in the photobook of the album at the end, with the lyrics of the songs. I imagine if Yoohyeon participated in 새벽 she would be credited in the photobook.

As interesting as Umu's calm analysis of songs can be I have to admit seeing her try to perform that task while unsuccessfully holding back from totally geeking out is hilariously fun.

[@ReptilianTeaDrinker]

It's my favourite thing, honestly. I can't help but laugh sometimes whenever she does that. xD Her Scream reaction had me in a laughing fit. I knew she would die on Dami's parts especially.

[@mrjackpots1326]

If that's calm then excited must be truly deafening.

[@nerasomnia]

Speaking honestly: this album might actually be one of the best albums in kpop because no song is bad or mediocre. They’re all either SUPER likable or ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. I would rate every song from A- to S+. LEEZ and Ollounder are music geniuses I can see becoming super popular choices among companies. Also what do you think the genre for Red Sun is? I know there’s some trap influence, but I can’t figure out what else is in it.

[@tushargrover2010]

Do these girls produce or compose their music ?

[@softleo729]

fun fact: Tension was supposed to be the title of their first comeback, but Goodnight was picked instead so they rearranged and rewrote the lyrics of Tension for this album

[@Yino_lemmon]

That's why!! Tension really give me similar vibes with Goodnight, and some cords too.

[@Ethan-gz1ul]

I think the Michael Jackson reference is from his song “Beat It”

[@AznIntegra521]

Ethan 이단 ur right, i went back to listen to beat it and the guitar bit from black and white and beat it sounds the same. Definitely a tribute to the king of pop.

The MJ influence is sprinkled throughout. Black or White, Scream and Black or White’s riff is Beat It. Can’t wait for the back half of the album, my favorite song of the album is on it. On the first half, it’s definitely Tension followed by Black or White.

[@tuesdayissapp3749]

Wow really?

[@loonathehelpline1015]

I heard somewhere that Jazz bar wasn't inspired so much by actual jazz, but rather the lofi hip jop jazz style music that is quite popular on streaming sites and in cafes, it's generally these very smooth melodic tunes with quite easy to follow hip hop beats, that makes them great for background music or just music to chill to.

[@DML897]

Umu I am disappoint, no fangirling at Dami's absolute MURDERING of that bridge in Jazz Bar?!

[@kio4896]

She probably didn't even know it was Dami cuz I sure wouldn't have if I hadn't seen the rooftop love performance.

[@cyanite15]

I had no idea it was Dami either, I just assumed she was doing it cuz it sounded nothing like the other members. Dami has so much talent.

[@neruneru9713]

No one can tell when Dami slays a vocal part until they see her slay the vocal part.

[@monicaagustina5783]

I think, Dami Voice is Amazing

[@dreamworldsinsomnia3710]

As someone who has studied jazz music in guitar classes i do agree jazz bar should have went harder on the genre, but i also think it's a smooth and relaxing song that is easy to listen to. I hope they will do "proper" jazz in the future, but in kpop scene this song and TVXQ's Truth are the jazz-est we have ever went, so it's def unique

[@Sailorofskies]

Dreamworld's InSomnia don't forget iu's red shoes

[@icantgowonwithoutchuu]

thanks guys, this is the best reaction ever and omG Umu is so relatable 😅 seeing her freak out about Dami is literally all Somnias when they first listen to Dystopia ... for me Dami just suddenly becomes my bias every time she breathes in this album :)

[@RoguePanda93]

Umu, idk what is your intentions for the future, but I personally would love to see you as a Kpop writer/composer. I feel like you have such a solid grasp on what Kpop is and should be, as well as a big picture, with the way you already see the performance/choreo that could go along with it and I’ve heard you talk deeply about concepts as well. I think you would be a tremendous addition to the Kpop music making world! Love you!

[@darkstar2874]

I love the whole album but the vibe of Jazz Bar makes it my favourite, I don’t usually prefer “chill” songs to “bop” songs but even before I understood the lyrics I got exactly what it’s about and that “Pretending not to look at them while weighing everything in your head” feeling is relatable as hell.

[@PottsV1]

Umu, Dreamcatcher and a video large enough to be loaded in parts = You know you're in for a treat!

[@elvia_arthur_]

JiU and Siyeon really shine with the jazzy/rnb sounds 🥰🥰🥰

[@IceThypon1]

The intro from Black or White looks a lot like some guitar riffs from a Brazillian musical genre called Mangue Beat. This was not only a genre but a cultural movement from the 90s, which mixed eletrical guitars and some elements from rock with traditional Brazillian genres, more specifically from the Northeast region of Brazil, like Coco, Ciranda, etc. If you guys listen to the album "Da Lama ao Caos" (From Mud to Chaos) by Chico Science and Nação Zumbi, you'll see some similarities with that amazing intro from the song. Here's some links so you guys can check it out: Da Lama ao Caos Album - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmGloKaHoZqAsLc Maracatu Atômico (One of the most famous song from the group) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/p329fomdbdGeo7c PS: My awesome Girlfriend @nathy_bep gave me the idea to show you guys this, she also loves your channel and is a huge music nerd too hasudhsaudhsah.

[@Nisced]

110% agree with your take on Jazz Bar. It's not jazz, other than the short Dami Vocal part, where the drums actually play the standard swing pattern and we got some walking bass action going on. It's more like a low fi pop version, with some jazz piano influences, which is totally fine. I also don't think it wants to be Jazz. It's just a chill song, where the title might be a bit misleading. Nevertheless it's still one of my favorite songs on the album, because it is such a nice quiet change up to the more heavy sounding rest.

[@kittycat2501]

YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIIIIS this album is just amazing

[@yulana990]

Red sun and Black and White are probably one of my favourite bsides of them EVER. Including In the frozen which wasn't in this video, but that one just makes me feel very emotional, whilst Black and White and Red Sun are songs I could probably listen to in most moods~ I came to love Red sun WAY MORE when I checked out the lyrics and realized it was about revenge, it totally suits that magically vibe that reminded me of japanese album songs that have magical vibes many times and can be dark. Red sun gives me creepy strong vibes definitely hypnosis like they meant, Black and white gives me confidence, Scream makes me feel powerful and like a destroyer, all these songs just suck you in, which until now usually only anime/game songs do or like I mentioned japanese album songs with magic themes, love to see this in kpop.

[@wkfjskfj]

Red sun wasn't synced, you were exactly 1 thing ahead of the edited soundtrack (you could hear it at the start and you can tell the reactions are at the wrong part) Also: that part where you said "this is where the jazz comes in" in jazz bar, is actually dami singing hehehe it's my fav part)
