BAEKHUN Mujin Service & Album reaction (Patreon)

Instinctively I knew I wasn't going to be moved by either of these videos but also a part of me wanted to see for myself INCASE I'd miss out since usually Baek does end up giving me SOMETHING I enjoy, but this wasn't the case here.

The mujin service went how I expected it to, I know his voice and his tricks pretty well and I also noticed things I've always noticed about his technique, like his pulling/throat tension which he uses stylistically, often. He also had some nice clean moments with the covers but overall it went how I thought it would.

Now for his album. This felt quite forgettable and repetitive and predictable. Rehashing a recently released The Boyz song as well as Candy felt like a missed opportunity. I don't think the producers he's working with from 100 bring out the best in him at all. This is not an album that sounds artistically free/daring but very complacent and easy listening. If that's what he wants, great but if he's still feeling a little lost maybe a longer break would be necessary so he finds out what he really wants to say.

Some people were saying on twitter that he surpassed Un Village and i'm confused how they got to that conclusion? lol some of the later songs may grow on me if i revisit them at a later time cos by the time i got to them my patience had worn thin.
