I have the 1 version of the album, the layout is pretty simple but I really like it. I love the pictures in the booklet, as well as the styling.
I love this single album, each track is catchy and allows to fully showcase their talents as a group.
From start to finish I'm obsessed with and love 1&Only. I love the melody, and their vocals fit perfectly with it too. For me this is one of those songs that's way too short and it's over before you know it.
1&Only
I love the melody for 1 of LOV. There's something about that I can't quite put my finger on. I also absolutely love their vocals against the melody. This is definitely a song that sticks with you.
1 of LOV
For me BIZNESS is one of those songs that really breaks the gender norms. It uses their deeper vocal tones to give it a more masculine sound. But I love how they have the choreography lean more towards feminine. I love that this closes out the album.
BIZNESS
I've actually known of XLOV since their debut, because Skye was a fan and knew of the members from Boys Planet. While I thought their debut was catchy, I didn't really pay attention to them or really know anything about them, until this release. I was hooked from the music to the choreography to their concept. I think this album perfectly embodies their concept and I can't help but be proud of them doing this type of concept. To me it seems like they're allowing them to truly be themselves on stage.
I can't help but think artists like Taemin and OnlyOneOf walked so that XLOV could run and empower all genders.
I can honestly say I'm a fan an I can't wait to see what they bring us with each comeback.
