Forward of an eventual BTS reunion as soon as everybody has accomplished their army service, oldest member Jin is again along with his second solo mini album. I not too long ago loved watching him as a part of the forged of Netflix selection collection Kian’s Weird B&B, the place he got here off very nicely and added a unusual humorousness. That persona doesn’t at all times switch to his solo music, even when its rock edge holds potential for creative colour.
New single Don’t Say You Love Me performs issues extraordinarily protected. That doesn’t mechanically have to be a foul factor. In spite of everything, Jin has confirmed adept at delivering a pleasing radio sound. His voice brings character to even probably the most simple pop songs. Nonetheless, there comes a time when you should lace a music like this with one other layer to maintain issues recent. Don’t Say You Love Me might be a solo observe from actually any male artist ever. It’s nearly genre-less in its delicate enchantment. I can’t think about anybody hating this, however it’s additionally onerous to see what would make a listener change into dangerously obsessive about music so “good.”
Don’t Say You Love Me‘s melodies are tried and true as a result of we’ve heard them earlier than. The chord development is predictable in a comforting means and Jin’s mild vocal slides effortlessly excessive. However like an excessive amount of of his work, the music lacks any friction. The music is simply there, taking part in within the background as we admire the gorgeous cinematography. I suppose there’s a time and a spot for this sort of numbing agreeability, however I’ve to imagine Jin is involved in extra daring materials. As a fan, I do know I’m.
