Would U Be My
I have the A version of the album, I've known of Golden Child since their debut but it's not been till the last year/year and half that I've been interested in listening to their title tracks, especially since Genie kept coming onto my Daily Mix 1 quite a lot. Then back on the 30thof August, I got to see them live at the MIK Festival in London and it made me even more interested in both their music and the group itself. So when I came across this album in the shop I had to have it in my collection.
I love the photo book for this version, it looks like a fashion magazine, the setting for the pictures, makes the pictures even more stunning. I also can't get over how big the album actually is too.
The album itself is really good, I love that each track is difference, while still keeping to the concept that they wanted to show through this album.
I love the Wish intro for the album, you know just from the intro that it's going to be cheerful and upbeat and I think it leads perfectly into the next track.
I have to say Genie is one of my favourite Golden Child songs, I've been obsessed with this song since I first heard it and I was gutted when they didn't perform it at MIK. I love the melody, the vocals and the raps. The chorus is so catchy and I love how upbeat the whole song is, whenever it comes on it never fails to get me singing along.
Genie
너 (Eyes On You) gives me early noughties vibes, it kind of reminds me of the songs that got played in the clubs when I was younger out partying. I absolutely love this song, it makes me regret not checking out this album earlier. The chorus is so catchy.
너 (Eyes On You)
I get such autumn feels from 너만 보인다 (I See U), I love that the tempo comes down slightly but still sounds such a bright and cheerful track.
너만 보인다 (I See U)
While I love upbeat tracks, I love when they slow it down too, which is why I love 들어봐 줄래 (Listen), while I've known Golden Child for a while, it wasn't till actually seeing them live that I realised how vocally talented all the members are, and this track shows that.
들어봐 줄래 (Listen)
The tempo is brought back up with 넌 모를 거야 (YTMOB(You Turn Me On Baby)), the melody really makes me feel it's a song they would sing at the end of their concert. While I can't say it's a favourite track from the album it definitely stands out and continues with the concept of the album. The raps and vocals though, as to be expected are on point.
넌 모를 거야 (YTMOB(You Turn Me On Baby))
Would U Be My is the perfect track to end the album with, it's slow and sweet and shows off their vocals perfectly. This is one of those songs that I would love to see them sing live. This is definitely one of my favourite tracks on this album.
Would U Be My
I think Wish is a perfect album to buy as my first Golden Child album and I definitely think I'll be buying their other albums too.
Seeing them perform live really helped me in wanting to listen to them more even with the 2 members I know being absent, with Daeyeol doing his military service and Tag taking a hiatus from overseas schedules.
I've really loved their recent comeback and album and it's on my stand out albums list.
I can't wait to see what they have in store for us next and I can't wait to properly check out all their past releases, as you may have guessed I'm already familiar with their title tracks.
