AGAIN DISCLAIMER – *NO ROOKIE TAKES PLEASE, WANT TO START A MUSICAL DISCUSSION*
BUT OF COURSE, POSITIVE THOUGHTS AND MORE SIMILAR MUSIC SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME.
So, starting of, Mark Lee’s 1999 (to me) has been the most musically structured song in the industry till now (from what I have listened of course). Been a fan of kpop since 2012 so HAD listened to almost every type of music / concept atp lol.
From the first listen, till now, I never get tired of this song and it’s artistry. There has been very few songs in the industry that has THIS MUCH musical and especially theatre driven sound with some very beautiful homages to different ages of sound in music over the years.
There has been few ones (as I mentioned earlier) which somewhat had few sections like that, where music feels much more technical but still artistic like some older songs of Shinee (don’t recall the exact names of the songs).
With how the musicality is going when it comes to the Kpop industry, its good and bad at the same time from what I feel.
Good ye coz everything is easy listening now so no suprising elements in the songs, just one streamlined song (also short).
Bad coz the essence of that music which used to be, is slowly losing its ground in Kpop. The thing that separated Kpop from other music industries (for me of course) was the distinct musicality and the structure.
Which honestly I can understand since companies want to earn more streams and be like western market.
But the thing that kept me as a fan of the industry was the sound and sadly we are losing that.
Let me know what are ya’ll thoughts.
