Vintage vibes and city pop move along this album in ‘Like Us‘, the sweetness and charming singing are the killing points in this song, and we are absolutely loving this style of music and Yesung’s vocals.

Beautiful‘ brings along lovely acoustics in a pop/R&B single that is giving massive rom-com OST energy. The energy a colourfulness of this song is amazing, and gives a a new and fresh twist to this release.
