TXT’s new (full) album weighs in at eight tracks and a paltry twenty-one minutes. This brevity isn’t distinctive to TXT and I don’t imply to name them out particularly, nevertheless it’s consultant of selections the Ok-pop business is at the moment making. A lot effort appears to enter the whole lot surrounding the music, even because the precise songs develop shorter and fewer developed. On this case, that effort consists of music movies for every of the members’ solo tracks. In line with the truncated nature of the album, I’ll be writing mini critiques for every music because the movies are launched.
Regardless of a lot of TXT’s title tracks carrying a extra upbeat power, additionally they have a deep properly of slower, extra pensive materials. This sound is sometimes hanging and really efficient (Nap Of A Star and Ghosting stay all-time highlights) however may tip into dreary dullness. Hen Of Evening falls nearer to the latter. Taehyun’s vocal suits this sound so properly and the dreamy texture is efficient, however the music doesn’t actually go wherever. Reasonably than an plain spotlight, we’re left with a fragile tone poem that feels extra like connective tissue on a usually hesitant album.
