[Review] TXT – THE STAR CHAPTER: SANCTUARY

The boys of TOMORROW X TOGETHER (aka. TXT) are back with a new chapter: THE STAR CHAPTER: SANCTUARY. We’re beyond thrilled to explore the music in their 7th mini-album, which promises four compelling concepts—’KNIGHT,’ ‘SAVIOR,’ ‘LOVER,’ and ‘ANGEL.’ Each concept seems to capture different facets of TXT’s artistry, so let’s dive into the journey they’ve crafted!

THE STAR CHAPTER: SANCTUARY

Opening with soft acoustic guitar and dreamy vocals, “Heaven” transports us into a serene world. It soon shifts into a refreshing pop single with delicate undertones and immaculate vocal layering. The harmonies and falsettos elevate the track, setting a beautifully ethereal tone for the album.

As the title track, “Over The Moon” captures attention with its nostalgic, rock-infused sound. The blend of retro vibes and bold instrumentals is fresh, a new sound that showcases TXT’s range. The accompanying music video is a visual delight, pairing intricate choreography with a cinematic storyline that fans will undoubtedly analyze and weave into the TXT universe.

This single is smooth yet edgy, blending trendy production with early 2000s nostalgia. “Danger” hooks listeners with its crisp ad-libs and infectious panning effects in the chorus, making it a standout track that’s both stylish and effortless.

With strong falsettos and a reggaeton-inspired beat, “Resist (Not Gonna Run Away)” layers TXT’s vocals over an intricate instrumental, creating a song that feels both refreshing and musically rich. The looping beat and textured production make it a captivating addition to the album.

R&B takes center stage in “Forty One Winks,” introducing a TXT we haven’t heard before. This groovy, retro-inspired track is playful and shows off their vocal prowess and undeniable charm. It’s an unexpected, but thoroughly delightful turn.

The album closes with “Higher Than Heaven,” a sweet, soft rock ballad that highlights TXT’s bright, lovable energy. With its intricate guitar work and dynamic vocals, this song feels like a comforting finale, leaving listeners with a warm glow.

Tomorrow X Together once again outdid themselves with an incredible non-skip mini album that not only diversifies their sound but also shows their growth as artists. Dive into this release here.
