Orange Flower (You Complete Me)
Sweet Venom (English Ver.)
Sweet Venom (Feat. Bella Poarch)(Digital Only)
I have the ENGENE versions of the album and it's rare that I pull my favourite member in the photo cards, so to pull Jake's Engene version twice is lucky for me.
The layout is pretty much the same as their Dark Blood mini album, I love the photo book. I do love an outdoor concept, as their styling and colours always stand out a little more.
The album itself is amazing and my favourite album of theirs so far. It shows a more mature side to them, than we've had so far.
I always love the intro songs on ENHYPEN's albums, and it was no different for Mortal. I love the melody, I love the mixture of Korean, Japanese and English mixed together with their singing.
Mortal
I love Sweet Venom, it's such a catchy and addictive song. I love their vocals in this song, each member has their moment to shine and their vocal tones fit perfectly with this style of song.
Sweet Venom
I love the melody for Still Monster, it's another song that fits their voices really well.
Still Monster
멀어 (Blind) is one of my favourite tracks on this album. I love when they do songs that give off a more mature vibe as it allows their music to grow with them and it allows them to show how much they've changed and improved since appearing on I-Land.
멀어 (Blind)
I absolutely adore Orange Flower (You Complete Me), especially their Korean pronunciation of Orange, as it's actually in English.
Orange Flower
Because I love the Korean version of Sweet Venom, of course I'd also love Sweet Venom (English Ver.). I feel the English version is a little more mature than the Korean.
Sweet Venom (English Ver.)
Even though it's not on the physical I also have to share Sweet Venom (Feat. Bella Poarch), while it's just the English version. Bella's vocals fit perfectly with the melody.
Sweet Venom (Feat. Bella Poarch)
I have to say while I lean more to Bite Me as my favourite title track of theirs in 2023, Orange Blood for me had the better and more addictive b-sides. And to repeat what I said about Dark Blood, Orange Blood is definitely their best album so far.
I can't wait to see how they're going to top this comeback and album, each release takes it to the next level.
