[Review] 82MAJOR – SILENCE SYNDROME

82MAJOR is back with their third mini-album ‘SILENCE SYNDROME’, a project that showcases a more mature and distinctive sound. This release marks a new era for the group, where they break away from expectations and explore powerful themes through genre-blending tracks. Let’s dive into this bold EP!

SILENCE SYNDROME

The title track ‘TAKEOVER’ kicks off the EP with a genre-blending banger rooted in hip-hop. The track’s arrangement is on another level—featuring a killer flow, smooth transitions, and a satisfyingly powerful build-up to a chorus that hits hard with its catchy hook.

The music video elevates this track even further with its cinematic storytelling. Visually stunning and conceptually refreshing, the MV explores the theme of breaking free from societal norms—a perfect match for the energy of the song.

Next up is ‘Heroes’, a standout track thanks to its unexpected use of traditional Korean instrumentals blended into a modern arrangement. This mix adds a unique texture and emotional depth, resulting in a groovy and smooth progression that totally surprised us—in the best way.

We keep the alt-hip-hop energy going with ‘Passport’, a track that throws it back to old-school hip-hop vibes. The flow is immaculate, the energy contagious, and the whole track feels like a tribute to classic rap with a modern twist. Pure hype from start to finish..

The EP closes on a softer note with ‘Promise You’, revealing the more sentimental side of 82MAJOR. This pop single features warm band instrumentals and heartfelt vocals that round out the album with a tender and emotional vibe.

82MAJOR’s ‘SILENCE SYNDROME’ is a powerful and cohesive release that pushes their artistry forward. The concept, visuals, and genre variety reflect a group that’s not afraid to take creative risks—and it pays off. Don’t miss this one!
