Our boy Taemin is back with his latest mini-album ‘ETERNAL’. We are beyond stoked about this comeback because Taemin always delivers some incredible music. Let’s dive in!
ETERNAL
We start off with the track ‘GOAT’. This EDM influenced hip hop track is a vibe and a half and has some killer beats. The jazzy piano added towards the bridge was sick and added a completely new dimension to this track. Honestly what an opening!
‘Sexy in the air’ is the first of two title tracks. What a killer track! The guitars and the beat are insane and the addition of the autotuned breath/moan makes for an intense listening experience. I’m going to obsess over this track, I just know it.
‘Horizon’ is the second title track. We’re getting a bit of a music whiplash as this is 100% synth pop. It’s super fun and fits Taemin’s vocals to a T. The dark bass creates extra depth and the slight beat change creates a fun dynamic. This is dope.
Next up is ‘The Unknown Sea’. I loved this part of the song description: “it’s a song that musically expresses the emotions of a butterfly when it first meets the sea.” That is literally the most beautiful and thought out concept. It’s a mid-tempo ballad with interesting vocal layering and stunning piano/guitar mix.
‘Crush’ brings us some electro pop with a healthy dose of funk and retro. This is one of those tracks where you won’t be able to sit still. I enjoyed the progression throughout the song and the chorus is simply to die for. What an earworm.
‘Deja Vu’ brings us some cosmic pop with a dreamy instrumentation. Taemin really rocks his vocals and the tracks brings an impressive layering.
The closing track is ‘Say Less’. We’re getting some more electro pop with synths and heavy kicks. It’s a fun listen.
Overall ‘ETERNITY’ by Taemin is a really solid mini that checks all the boxes. I can’t wait to have this on repeat!
