Daydream
I actually came across the boys during their Giddy Up era back in 2018, if I remember correctly they were promoting at the same time as some other groups I follow so I saw them during their promotions and I really liked the song, but it wasn't till I started watching Simply K-pop that Kevin and Jacob are the MC's for, that I decided to check out their next comeback which was for Bloom Bloom. Then came D.D.D, I really liked the song so I decided on a whim that when I came across it in my local HMV store that I was buying it. I have the Day version and I would love the Dreamlike version because the colour of it is so pretty, I also felt lucky that when I opened it, I had Jacob's photo zine and Kevin's postcard as they were (and still are) the only members I know. While I wasn't expecting the album to be so large compared to others I've bought in the past, I absolutely love the size of it and I love the photo book, I will be honest and say I was a little confused when I was looking online and seeing what the album came with, noticing I hadn't come across the stickers or photo card, they were in fact hidden away with the Cd in it's little envelope.
The album itself was a nice surprise, so much so that it's a contender to be on my K-pop Top 10 Albums for this year.
I have to say my favourite track from the album is Water, as soon as the song started I knew the song and the album was going to be good. I absolutely love the chorus and felt rather proud of myself that by just watching him on Simply K-pop, I could recognise Jacob's voice. I love the melody of the song and after a couple of listens I was singing away with the chorus.
Water
I think D.D.D, straight away makes you think of the summer months, and as soon as it starts you know it's going to be a song that gets you moving. I will also say that out of all the title tracks from THE BOYZ, that D.D.D is my favourite. I love the music, I love how their voices sound, I love the little section that clearly would have a little dance break and I love how catchy the chorus is.
D.D.D
I feel like this will be how I start all of these but, I absolutely love Complete Me, I love that it's such a mellow song, and I have to say my favourite part of the song is the chorus. I think out of all the songs on this album, I would want to hear this one live the most, you just know the choreography for this one would be elegant and it's also a song that I think shows of their voices more.
Complete Me
I love that Summer Time, is quite mellow in it's verses but picks up when it hits the chorus. I love their voices throughout the song and I absolutely love the melody in the chorus, it's also really catchy so you can't help but sing along.
Summer Time
I would say that 위로 (Going High), is one of the slowest track on the album, it's a track that shows that each member of THE BOYZ has a stunning voice and that every single one of them is talented.
위로 (Going High)
Lastly we have another slower song with Daydream, I think at times when groups have a large number of members, they tend to keep to more upbeat tracks to show off their energy and in sync moves. I love this song, I love the melody and I love how they sing this song. It reminds me of another song I've heard in the past but I just can't put my finger on it.
Daydream
Just from listening to this album, I definitely want to hear the rest of their albums and I definitely think I will be becoming a member of The B in the future.
I love how this album blends well together and keeps with similar sounds for each track, personally for me the album is dreamlike. As soon as the last song finishes, I hit the play button again and start it all over again.
Are you part of The B?
Do you have a copy of the album?
Do you have a favourite track from the album?
