[@sssourwav]

Levanter includes past choreo and set peices, like the dance scene in the tunnel is the tunnel from My Pace and that field with the reflective stage is the Hellevator field. They really went all out with the emotions for this song, and as far as I know this has become a top favorite for alot of people, this song just hits different to everything else they've done before and it's really a sad ending because I've loved the entire Clé series but now it's over Edit: As other people have added, there's choreos from Side Effects and Mirror and there's also sets like the crossroads from Double Knot and the Elevator from the Yellow Wood Trailer, I think someone also said the road in Hellevator is here as well

The “rapping-singing” at the same time that that you said Changbin and Hyunjin were doing is called melodic rap just in case you didn’t know. It’s self explanatory that they’re rapping and adding a melody to it basically.

thats an interesting perspective because I thought that most stays loved it at the first listen, (well I did at least! and I wasn't really down with Astronaut, or Double Knot to be honest lol. I prefer their more vocal oriented songs like Young Wings and I am WHO)

This song is such a tear jerker. I absolutely love it. I kinda like that their wasn't a lot of rapping in the song. It wouldn't have sounded bad with it, but the fact they went the route they did is super effective. Chan, Han, and Seungmin really brought the vocals this time. Han has the potential to be one of the best vocalists in the industry. Chan's falsetto OMG, so many things I just love and admire about him in general. The choreography has a lot of callbacks to their previous songs. The Felix and Hyunjin part was a callback to Side Effects, they used some mirror like imagery as a callback to Mirror. I'm sure I could find a ton more the more I watch it. The MV is a work of art!

This is the 1st time ever on Kpop industry there is a boyband who make WHOLE music by them self.

Yeah ofc other producers also joined with 3racha on their album but it is definitely true skz found their style of music quite fast even they debuted on 2018 because they hv produced their music and they really know what theyre doing right now and what they should do in the future also.
