나만 아는 이야기 (Fairy Tale)
I have the Glitter version of the album and I absolutely love the design and layout.
I love the photobook, they all stand out in each picture, I especially loved the colours used, the white and blue really made each picture pop. I also love that the pages are a glossy type page, make it feel like a high end fashion magazine.
The album itself is really good, there is a good mixture of songs on the album, which shows how The Boyz are a versatile group.
I enjoy listening to LIP GLOSS, but I wouldn't say it's one of my favourite title tracks from The Boyz. I love the melody and the track itself is cute, bright and upbeat.
LIP GLOSS
I absolutely love the melody for Passion Fruit. I love their vocals against the melody too, it's like they're harmonising with it.
Passion Fruit
I love their vocals in Lighthouse. I think it's a really nice and mellow track, I think the melody is really unique and not something I thought I would like.
Lighthouse
줄리의 법칙 (Fantasize) is definitely one of my favourite B-side tracks on this album. I love everything about this song, it's really upbeat and gets you dancing. I get Goosebumps whenever I listen to this song because they performed it at their concert and it was really high energy. So whenever I listen to it, it takes me right back and energises me.
줄리의 법칙 (Fantasize)
Another B-side that I adore from this album is Fire Eyes. This was one of their encore songs at their concert and what a perfect track to close a show with. It got everyone dancing and jumping, it's really a moment I relive everytime I hear this song. I love the melody and their vocals are perfect and harmonize perfectly.
Fire Eyes
I absolutely love and adore the melody for 나만 아는 이야기 (Fairy Tale). Their vocals are the cherry on the cake for this song. Their vocal tones fit perfectly with the melody, which also makes them harmonising sound stunning.
나만 아는 이야기 (Fairy Tale)
This album flows really well and has a good mix of tracks that highlight their voices and how versatile they are with their music. While I wouldn't say it's one of my favourite albums of theirs, I enjoy listening to it.
I'm curious and excited for what The Boyz have in store for us in the future as they've all joined a new company together. It's rare to see groups leave their original company as a whole and sign to a new company together, which I'm glad they did. They're now being managed by ONE HUNDRED.
