Idk but why does it look like music producers have something on their ear that other people don’t 😭 it’s so cool that you could hear all of those small details just by listening to it once im soooo impressed like fr!!
"Almost too much information" - we always experience this with many SM songs, especially from aespa and NCT. These songs are constantly feeding us bits and pieces we can't wrap our heads around the first time we listen to them - aurally and visually! That's why these songs are often 'growers' for me: every time I listen to them again, I decode more and more information and am more satisfied than before. It's addicting and makes you beg for more! Thank you for your insight, as always! ^^
I suspect they created that intentionally. More views, more exposure, more hype, all means more sales. The song itself is really cool, though I personally still prefer Next Level.
Yes with short attention spans sometimes adding a lot of information helps you listen over and over again which increases the bottom line with more streams
7:00 yes I’m glad someone noticed!! i love those mysterious harmonies in the pre chorus, u can hear it more clearly at those savage backing vocals instrumentals version on yt!
12:24 I love that in that part of the bridge where ningning (the one who sings the high note saying “I know ur sacrifices” in the bridge) there’s these magical/twinkling sounds in the background. It didn’t have that in the first half of the bridge, but it did in the second. I mostly noticed it when I was listening to the beautiful instrumentals of savage!
@@thebillboard500club I hope u can react to TXT’s “can’t you see me?” music video! The song’s production is top notch and the vibe it gives out is insane. It’s definitely one of the most unique kpop songs to exist. it’ll be interesting to a reaction from a professional’s pov
finally a reactor who was confused by the outro too. when i first heard the song that outro put me off so much too HAHA my literal reaction was "is it out of key?!" but then i was still getting attacked by the vocals, it felt like i was cornered by my bullies and i couldnt run away.
definitely not just you! i feel like anyone who has any sort of background with music was taken aback by that last chorus, because i, a vocal major, was listening to it with my instrumentalist friend and we were like “what. is. going. on. here.” after a couple of listens it grows on you though 😅
was looking for this comment! that last chorus fried my brain. I was super intrigued by what happened and even did my theory stuff but in the end I just decided to accept that part and you're right, it did grew on me hahaha
*Yoo Young-jin has produced so many songs for SM groups. He is a South Korean singer, songwriter, record producer and vocal trainer under SM Entertainment.*
Thanks for breaking down and hearing things the normal listener wouldn't know to look out for. I was wondering in the future if you can review their mini album. To me it may be interesting enough out of the norm as it goes all different directions that may peak your interest!
SM is probably the only entertainment agency that produces songs that have multiple songs in it (Next Level) (Savage) (I Got A Boy) and make it work. Its crazy. Theyre like mad music scientists that are so experimental with music.
11:20 thats interesting take cause they change the lyrics to zuzuzu (쯔쯔쯔쯔) to make it more catchier but originally its like jujuju (즈즈즈즈). thank you for this reaction and review! i hope you will react and review their b-sides too its interesting and crazy too! especially yeppi yeppi and i'll make you cry, its mind blowing!
I would highly recommend you to listen to their album especially their track on it, I'll make you cry and yeppi yeppi because these two are hella insane!😭
The first time I listened to this song I was not expecting the super industrial sound we got from the very beginning, but even before the end of the prechorus I was already like "ooh, I like this!" and I am NOT a huge fan of American Hip Hop and Rap, nor am I in the age range you mentioned XD I am in my lower 30s, almost mid 30s, so I grew up in the time period when the Backstreet Boys and NSYNC were popular. This song really does have so many layers that to get everything you really do need to listen to it more than once to get everything. I don't know what it is about the melody in the bridge, but for some reason every time I listen to this song I almost get choked up with emotion, especially the "I know your sacrifices" line; gets me every time. I think it's partly because I know the lore behind all their songs pretty well after watching all the extra videos on their channel and uploaded on the SMTOWN channel explaining how all of SM's groups and solo artists are connected in what they called early this year the SMCU, or SM Culture Universe, that I am so invested in the song...
Thank you so much I've been waiting for this !!! 🥰 I hope you could write and produce more songs for Aespa. I'm really looking forward to it! I always learn a lot from you. 💚
Omg you created Next Level? Man, this song took Korea by storm and I’m not surprised if it’s awarded Song of the year by Korean music awards. Congrats on the success of Next Level!!

I heard that the zuzuzuzu part was actually added by the boss of their company😂 He heard the song and thought it would be good to add that. Fans can correct me if I’m wrong.
Nope, afaik LSM only suggested to change the choreo for that part. The original choreo had their hands on their chin (watch the camerawork guide) but was eventually changed to the finger wag after LSM’s comment.
I wonder if you're going to react to aespa's senior group called Red Velvet. They're known to be super experimental and for having interesting sound too! Also, the vocals and adlibs will never go wrong with this group! (They are like EXO, female version). If you're going to react to them, I would suggest a few of their unique sounds - Zimzalabim - Rookie - Dumb Dumb - Really Bad Boy
Yes I have. Zimzalabim and Psycho are on my Patreon already if you want to check those out: www.patreon.com/musicindustrycontact . Queendom is here on my UA-cam channel. The others are on my list so hopefully soon Iffah
adam~~ i missed you!! damn your breakdowns are always something else! 2:48 it's the first second of the song and ur already making me notice these sounds for the first time?? i've been listening to it since release.. 😓 okayy lmao *btw those game sounds 9:38 are really interesting and it took me a while to realise that they weren't included in the audio version of the song! at least those that stand out more, like gunshots etc. They do make a big difference in the MV tho!
Did you listen their Black Mamba song? And you should watch Aespa SM Universe Ep.1 (it's short don't worry). Even HOLLYWOOD contacted SM Ent. for this concept and they wanted to make this a movie but SM declined

Practice makes perfect. The more you listen and produce the better your ear gets. Keep going :)
Exactly
you need really good headphones

15:20 Yes you're right! Giselle did the adlib. If you watched Aespa Inkigayo Encore she did the "Give me now" part
Thank you!
I’ve listened to this song hundreds and probably thousands of times now and it’s crazy how you point out things I could have never found on my own 😂
It just takes practice. You will ge there as well :)
Yay I was waiting for this too :) I love it soo much, we finally got more of G's rapping!
🙌 yes!

I'd be happy to

My pleasure 🤩
Been waiting for this video, finally👏🏼

The way his face just changed in the chorus. He looked so happy.

Yes co-wrote and co-produced. Thank you!
Facebook announced Meta.
We are now starting Metaverse.
Virtual world. It will be norm.
Aespa is ahead
So true JP. This is only the beginning too
*Yoo Young-jin was involved in the production of 'Savage'*
AMazing! 😁
It will be interesting if you break down Aespa’s Yeppi Yeppi if possible because that song is wild
They managed to fit like 10 millions genres in that one song and it still sounds coherent and catchy. It’s crazy.
wow! I can't wait to hear it
I really like Next level, and it's still popular in Korea!
Really?
Thank you! It's been really cool to see it's evolution and growth.
I was waiting for this ! thank you

*The song really compliments the video*
Yes, they knew what they were doing with the song and video. Which is not always the case with other artists.

Yes, they did a fantastic job
can you please react to their EP.. they're so amazing
I'm sure I will get to all of them eventually!
*Beats are insane*
Agree!
*The arrangement is on point IMO*
Couldn't agree more!
i think some background (video game) sounds are unique for the music video are not actually present in the actual track.
Good to know, thank you for the info. I will listen to the track and compare.
11.15 When you knew that the tzutzu is lee soo man idea 🤣🤣🤣 he is not the king of kpop industry for no reason 🤷
haha

Ah ok so they were just for the mv? They definitely added to the track :)
Would be great if you could breakdown- Sticker.. Because it's weird catchy and very good very good. It's by NCT
