NMIXX Blue Valentine album – Papillon Phoenix

Oct 13, 2025

Did you guys like this 1st full album by NMIXX? I think it’s good but I was hoping for something more like Papillon, or like BOOM, Passionfruit, XOXO, Know About Me, Ocean, et cetera.

Like NMIXX’s Blue Valentine album is still one of the better releases of 2025 overall, but my hype levels or expectations were sky-high, lol. So I’m kinda wishing their next release will have more bangers that I can replay/repeat/loop/etc. for over 1000 times, like Papillon/XOXO/etc.

My favorite Blue Valentine tracks are: Phoenix, Reality Hurts, Game Face, PODIUM, ADORE U, Shape of Love.

Fellow NSWERs, I wish they had a different title track for this album as it’s their first full album and some people will have different expectations with that type of release. And like the music video felt somehow low budget compared to say Know About Me or even SPINNIN’ ON IT, so ya, I really want their next single/album/etc. to have better production/investment/etc. for the visual portion, since as always, they already have great vocals and instrumentals by default.
