i love it so much! its kind of a fresh sound but still has that more mature vibe that their titles normally do. it could easily be a txt song which to me is a good thing. i do prefer their normal more dynamic style for them over this but this is a nice change. and im happy they had bx singing instead of properly rapping it suits the vibe so much better.
stairway to heaven — it's nice but i don't know how often i would replay it. bx's rap doesnt really fit in they should have had him mostly sing like they did for cinema however i support more baejin ballads i still listen to his solo song all the time. he doesnt have the best range but hes similar to taehyung from bts in that theres something about his voice that sounds very sentimental and carries emotion well. the ending is nice they should have shortened the song a little and it would have more replay value.
round 2 — it's okay it will probably join like it that way as one of the only cix songs i dont listen to that much. i like the last third of it a lot when it changes up at @2:10 but the chorus is a bit flat.
young — it's so good! love the instruments used at the beginning instead of the usual synth-y sounds. i will overlook the really basic lyrics at the chorus like we are young we're having fun breaking the rules is childish even for a group their age lol. i feel like the song goes a lot of different places but it works together.
everything — love this one too. it's nothing groundbreaking or experimental but its super easy to listen to.
overall it's not their best ep for me but i think highly of their discography in general so that's not an insult. it's a bit more chill than i normally listen to but its still really solid.
Ok, the album is great as expected. Stairway to Heaven is really nice but I don't think I'll be playing it a lot. Round 2, Young and Everything on the other hand 🔥🔥🔥
bx (byounggon) - born 1998 - main rapper and leader
seunghun - born 1999 - main vocalist - best smile in kpop - most willing to do embarassing things for fans
jinyoung - born 2000 - vocals and main dancer - currently has pink hair in the mv - known as a visual since being in wannaone but is actually very talented - overall performance king - helps choreograph some of their dances
yonghee - born 2000 - vocals - hes the one with the curly blonde hair in the mv - generally the quietest
hyunsuk - born 2001 - vocalist and rapper - 6' 1''
music wise cinema is a bit of a departure from their normal style at least when it comes to titles. if you liked it you might want to start with some of their bsides so i've grouped their discography into vibes rather than chronologically
fresher sounding cinema, rebel, the one, imagine, maybe i noisier numb, move my body, blackout. these arent as noisy like it that way, rewind, change me chic-er movie star, jungle, what you wanted, bystander, switch it up
vids i remember off the top of my head that showcase their personality well that arent like an hour long:
I'm a terrible stan, I barely follow their activities or them at all lol But their music is great and I can recommend a bit of it if you want to listen to something else from them.
They debuted in 2019, and they are mostly known because Bae Jinyoung is in the group. He was in PD101 and made it into Wanna One. He's, obviously, the center. Seunghun and BX were YG trainees and participated in the mess that was Mix Nine. They are main vocalist and main rapper respectively. The other two members (Hyunsuk and Yonghee) I don't know much about unfortunately.
Their debut, Movie Star (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FV74Nbu0i0), was a really catchy and nice song. Their last comback (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eqJAKDL2zQ&ab_channel=CIXOfficial) was my favourite from last year.
I recommend checking out: -Bystander (https://youtu.be/T9VSDDjQCp0) -Imagine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8j25MIybYo) -Revival (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkbwhXFrmsc&ab_channel=CIXOfficial)(One of their japanese singles) -Rebel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGICHc5xf-4&ab_channel=CIX-Topic) -What You Wanted (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8RM3HZoEHg) (I love, love, the chorus) -My new world (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlYAk9M8q7I) (The title from their japanese album) -Like it that way (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKsmR27S0hk) -Switch It Up (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBaOJABBTuE&ab_channel=CIX-Topic) -Change Me (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeNOXebz-HQ&ab_channel=CIX-Topic)
It's also worth checking out their new mini (https://open.spotify.com/album/6uQFA464X4qBT7QOEmZlBm?si=q7dux2f8QZqObS7ap103ew)! On first listen I really like the las 3 tracks.
Did I just recommend 80% of their discography? Maybe. Hope it helps a bit!
I think my initial watch of the MV was me being confused of the whiplash from Jungle to this, but listening to it on Spotify has made me appreciate all the sounds in the song and I really like it!
The album is quite good too- the first song (aka the ballad) was a surprise since they don't normally do them, but the last 3 songs are something to play when you're winding down, just chilling. Everything (the track) is my favorite song off the album with Cinema as a close second.
