Obviously this comes down to personal taste, but I think “I Want You” and “Angel Bite” make no sense as title tracks for both groups. When I say the singles are directionless I mean it’s not in line with what the groups have been releasing recently.
I feel like “I Want You” could’ve been released by any boy group and there’s nothing unique about it to say this is an Enhypen song & “Angel Bite” sounds like a Boy ILLIT song. This isn’t to say the groups can’t experiment with their sound and obviously both groups have done a wide range of genres in their catalog but I think this can be done without the song losing the essence of the groups.
Both groups didn’t necessarily need these comebacks this year, Enhypen already had 2 Korean comebacks earlier this year and TXT had a Korean and Japanese comeback this year plus they ended a tour and started a new world tour. It’s not like they’re still rookies or new groups trying to establish a foothold in the market they’ve already solidified their positions in the industry. I think when groups get older their teams should be more selective with what they put out.
With the amount of resources that HYBE has they easily could’ve produced better songs than “I Want You” and “Angel Bite” as the promotional tracks for these albums. I feel like the quality of the songs is lacking compared to what I know they can release. For reference, I think Enhypen’s best songs recently were “Echoes”, “Lost Island”, and “Bad For You” & TXT “Deja Vu”, “Love Language” and “Beautiful Strangers”.
For those who have listened to both songs what do you think?
