I love the layout for this album, and I absolutely love the photo books, they remind me of the high end fashion magazines.
The album itself is amazing, with each track being different from the previous one, it's definitely up there as one of my favourite THE BOYZ albums.
What I love about Shine Shine is that for me it's a new sound for them, which shows that they're willing to try new sounds and vibes in their music, when I first heard the melody I thought it was odd, but the more I listened to it the more I loved how unique it sounds.
Shine Shine
I absolutely love The Stealer, it's definitely up there as one of my favourite THE BOYZ title tracks, I love the melody, the vocals and the raps, everyone for me shines equally. For me this track is one of their more mature sounding tracks.
The Stealer
I love the vibe of Insanity, I love how they sometimes sing with the melody of the track, like at the start of the track, and the chorus is just perfection. I absolutely love how they sing this track.
Insanity
My favourite b-side track from this album has to be Whiplash, I love the melody and I love their vocals. For me this song is right up there with Complete Me as one of my favourite overall THE BOYZ songs. I love the chorus it's just so upbeat, which is what pulled me into loving this song from the first listen.
Whiplash
I love how upbeat Make or Break is, it's one of those songs where you can't help but move along with the beat.
Make or Break
Blazing PhoenixAs I said at the beginning of this blog post, this mini album was released after THE BOYZ won the show Road to Kingdom, which the winning group would then progress to the main competition Kingdom: Legendary War. Checkmate (Stage Ver.) was THE BOYZ's original track for the final, and I cannot hear this track without thinking of their performance and choreography for this track. I love this song and every time I hear it, it reminds me of how far THE BOYZ have come and how they continue to keep rising.
Checkmate (Stage Ver.)
Checkmate (Road to Kingdom Performance)
Today THE BOYZ have made their first comeback since taking part (and coming in 2nd place) on Kingdom: Legendary War, yet again they did amazing during the competition, they blew me away with their Kingdom version of No Air, and yet again with their newest comeback their proving that they ain't here to play.
THE BOYZ have definitely become one of those groups that I look forward to each comeback because each return is better than the last.
