Note: Please keep the discussion to Hybe and it’s music alone and don’t use this as a chance to hate on TXT and other groups. I love their music and It’s not my intention to use this as an excuse to start a hate train on them
Recently a interview talking about the behind-the-scenes of TXT latest album was released and here are a couple of snippets from it:
When it came to keeping TXT’s own identity intact, what mattered most musically?
Slow Rabbit: I think TXT’s biggest strength is melody, and they also have a very distinct way of expressing energy. Even when a track has a lot of energy, the vocals stay nuanced. That contrast feels very TXT to me. We also avoided the heavy, hard-hitting rhythm sounds often used in K-pop to create energy and intensity. Instead, we used lighter sounds and centered the arrangement more around synths. At the same time, we tried new things, like using distorted, rough-edged effects that feel closer to what you might hear in **TikTok music these days.**
But at the same time they also mentioned:

Kim Boram: Still, the most important thing throughout that process was not losing what makes TXT, TXT. During the interviews, one of the members said, “Success that comes from changing our color isn’t really ours.” That showed how much respect both the members and the production team had for the heritage and identity TXT had built over the years. So that became the core direction of the album: to change, but in a way that still felt true to TXT.
Maybe I’m just scared for nothing.
At the end of the day what is most precious to me is the core of TXT’s music and what makes them stand out from every other artist out there. By that I don’t just mean shorter songs, I hope they don’t change it to tailor it to tik tok trends.
The article itself was quite interesting, so I recommend reading it for a better understanding of TXT as a group.
