승천 (Ascension) (Inst.)
I have the Glory version and I love the colours, the pictures don't do it justice. I love the layout of the album and I especially love the photo book, the pictures are stunning, as always everything is aesthetically pleasing.
The album itself is one of my favourite's from KINGDOM, each track shows a different side to the group, showing yet again how versatile they are.
How stunning is Intro: 宫 (Palace), it makes me think of the Korean historical drama's I've watched. It's such a stunning intro that never fails to take my breath away. The below video is an extended version.
Intro: 宫 (Palace)
승천 (Ascension) is definitely one of my favourite KINGDOM title tracks, the melody is stunning, the chorus is catchy and the vocals and raps are on point. I was in love with track as soon as I heard it. That final section of the song just blew me away too.
승천 (Ascension)
I love the melody for Blinder, this song is so catchy that I was in love from the first listen, I always find myself singing along.
Blinder
Whenever I hear Illusion, I forget it's a KINGDOM song, it also reminds me of something that would be released and played on the radio in the UK. I love everything about this song, they harmonize together so well.
Illusion
Appetite is yet another amazing and catchy track from this album, this is one of the main b-side's I would love to see them perform live. Just from the chorus alone I can't help thinking it's a sultry song, something we've not had from KINGDOM yet. It's a song that never fails to get me singing and dancing along.
Appetite
I love that the final song is 단심가 (Promise), this song is stunning and never fails to make me feel emotional. For me this song is right up there with Night Air as one of my favourite KINGDOM b-side tracks. While I love KINGDOM's upbeat tracks, their ballads are stunning, their vocals and harmonisations is why I love KINGDOM so much.
단심가 (Promise)
KINGDOM have yet again knocked it out of the park with another amazing album, I was gutted when I saw the news that Chiwoo had left the group, it's sad knowing that this is his last album with the group, but I wish him all the best for his future and whatever he may do.
On the 31st of August we were introduced to Hwon who would be joining the group, I've never looked at him as if he was replacing Chiwoo, he's just merely being given the opportunity and chance to debut, and KINGDOM is an amazing group to be give that opportunity with, from what I've seen so far he's talented and he has an amazing voice, and as a Kingmaker, I'll happily accept him and I can't wait to watch him grow as a member.
