LNGSHOT return with a special release that offers a rare glimpse into their artistic journey before debut. ‘Training Day’ is a compilation of solo tracks created during their trainee years, a project that highlights their early potential and individuality. Let’s dive in.
Training Day
‘Good Girls’ by LOUIS opens the release with a track he worked on at just 14 years old. Blending playful R&B with pop elements, the song feels smooth, trendy, and effortlessly vibey. Its light synth textures add a youthful charm that makes it both fun and memorable.
WOOJIN’s ‘Boo Thang’, produced by Cha Cha Malone, continues the smooth momentum. Rooted in R&B, the track introduces a subtle dance influence while showcasing a dynamic balance between singing and rapping. The production feels polished, giving the song a confident and modern edge.
The mood shifts with OHYUL’s ‘Summer Eyes’, which leans into acoustic pop. The delicate instrumentation pairs beautifully with his expressive vocals, creating a warm and emotional atmosphere. The track stands out for its sincerity and offers a refreshing contrast to the earlier songs.
RYUL’s ‘For Us’ takes a surprising turn, incorporating UK hip-hop influences. The beat carries a distinct groove, while his rap delivery is sharp and charismatic, proving his versatility and confidence even during his trainee days.
Closing the project is the title track, ‘Vanilla Days’, which draws from New Jack Swing. The smooth composition, cohesive arrangement, and confident delivery are particularly impressive for a pre-debut track. It feels polished, vibrant, and far from what one might expect from rookies, a standout moment that ties the release together.
‘Training Day’ shows LNGSHOT’s talent and artistic growth. Even before their official debut, the group showed strong musical identity and versatility, making this release both a fascinating look into their beginnings and an exciting preview of what’s to come.
