놀이공원 (Amusement Park)
Privacy
Cry For Love
I have the Starry Night version and I absolutely love the photo book, I love that the pages change depending on the concept, with the darker pictures being on matt pages and the brighter pictures being on glossy pages, it really makes all the pictures stand out.
The layout of the album isn't something special or different as I have a few albums with either the same or similar layouts, but it doesn't take away from the concept.
The album itself allows us to hear a side to Baekhyun that we've not really heard from his solo albums.
I love the melody for Love Scene, the melody blends stunningly with Baekhyun's voice. I think this is a stunning song to start the album with and really sets the tone for the rest of the album
Love Scene
If I have to pick a favourite title track from Baekhyun, it has to be Bambi, when I first heard this track, if it wasn't for Baekhyun's distinctive vocals I would have thought it was a new song from Kai, because of how sultry it sounded. His vocals on this track are breath taking and it really showcases how amazing his voice is.
Bambi
While the melody for All I Got sounds pretty basic and simple, Bakehyun's vocals take it to a whole new level. While not necessarily my favourite track in terms of the melody, I could listen to this track all day, just for his vocals alone. This is one of those songs that can takes you on a journey, so sit back, close your eyes and enjoy the ride.
All I Got
As soon as 놀이공원 (Amusement Park) starts, I always feel my body take over and end up with my eyes closed, swaying with the music allowing the melody and vocals to wash over me. it gives me vibes of a lullaby, it's so soothing.
놀이공원 (Amusement Park)
I can't help but feel that Privacy is the perfect Sunday morning track, the melody is so relaxing and is perfect to chill out to in the morning. The lyrics are perfect too, I think we can all relate that we all want that something that we can keep private that allows us to stray away from what people know of you.
Privacy
I absolutely adore the melody for Cry For Love, I feel that this track screams Baekhyun and I think it's definitely one of my favourite tracks on this album. This track takes me back in time and makes me feel like I'm discovering Baekhyun and EXO all over again. I don't think I'll ever be left feeling underwhelmed from Baekhyun's voice, it's definitely one of my favourite voices in the K-pop world.
Cry For Love
The best way I can describe this album is that it's easy-listening, whenever you're wanting to sit back, relax and enjoy music, this is the album for it. His voice is really one for the senses, and he never fails to blow me away with how strong and beautiful his voice is and I still find it hard to believe that I've heard it live in person.
It's not while recently listening to this album that I've realised how much I'm missing hearing his voice and I can't wait for him to return from his military service.
