B2ST Impresses With Midnight Sun

The B2ST boys are back with their latest album, Midnight Sun, and they sure do impress with their new look and music style!

I haven’t been a fan of B2ST for long as I only started to listen to their music when they released Fiction & Fact last year, but the change in their music to electro-synth pop is interesting and gives a fresh breath of air to K-pop.

The title track, Midnight, is a trendy song that blends electro flares with solid pop melodies. I love the guitar riffs in the opening and closing of this song. Since the song is about longing for a loved one, I can feel the emotions conveyed by the members through the lyrics.

Love the catchy chorus as well! Check out the mini music video for Midnight below!

 

Next up is Beautiful Night, a funky electronica number which makes you wanna dance. The song itself is fun and very B2ST, if you get what I mean.

The boys get the New York swagger on in the music video for Beautiful Night. Do check out their newly revamped looks and the change of scenery!

 

Not Me is special as it combines a traditional Korean instrumental with a jingling, hip-pop beat. The members sing its engaging melodies in that roll-off-the-tongue way they do. Somehow this is my favourite song off the album, with its Spanish-esque tune and sexy vibe.

Written by Junhyung, Not Me chronicles a denial to a lover who thinks she is being cheated on. Junhyung, you didn’t write this for Hara, did you?

Other tracks on this album include When I Miss You, The Day You Rest, and Dream Girl.

While some have shared that B2ST latest album isn’t much of a bang (yes, if you are comparing it to Big Bang’s Alive), I personally feel that they have made quite a good album.

Maybe sometimes a change in musical direction doesn’t really sit well with everyone, but there are some who welcome changes. 

I think that B2ST latest musical style is refreshing in this competitive K-pop scene and I’m hoping that there is more better materials to come from them in the future!

The author is still lovin' the pocket dance from B2ST's Fiction!
