Jay Park showing up the MV in a private plane & girls as decorations on the side like the biggest cliché ever, c'mon now

I wonder if that was all Jay's idea and Jaebeom just went along with it.

When Lucas hears Jay Park's lyrics, he'll be so tempted to audition for that sugar baby position!

Maybe Fame would have been a better candidate for the title track.. although it's a bit short 🤔

[dantethetaco.livejournal.com]

Why are they singing like... that? It felt like a competition of weak vocals. Jay B can sing better than this...

[1100003.livejournal.com]

lol those were my thoughts too, this seems like a stylistic choice which why

[hoursnow.livejournal.com]

This is really boring, I can't believe this got an MV? Go girl give us nothing

[camouflagecat.livejournal.com]

Yeah the MV really is boring. I don't like this chill aesthetic he's going for lol.

The bit where both Jay's were together look so awkward it didn't feel like they knew what to do with each other and weirdly Jay B isn't in the shots where there are girls... It's just Jay and Jay alone on the private plane...

I feel like if this was Jinyoung and JayB it would be more of a pisstake of the clichés, but this one is straight up cliche.

i've never followed jay park so i have no idea what goes on, but wasn't he going to retire?

this song definitely didn't need an mv (or jay park) but i don't mind it though! it's so mellow that i can see myself listening to it before bed to relax lol

i remember a few months ago saying that i was most curious about jayb's solo album, almost can't believe it's really here now! his taste in music matches mine very well and i rather like the content of this album too! my faves after a first listen are am pm, in to you and count on me, i think. he made some good choices with the female collaborators, their voices sound beautiful.

idk much about him but i think jay park is more of a hit or miss. i love his part in yugyeom's love the way but here, he adds absolutely nothing to the song. idk, maybe it's something about having just joined h1ghr so he feels obligated to agree to some... choices (like he did with switch it up) but i feel like this song didn't even need a feature, much less a feature by jay park.

but still, i'm really liking this album! personally, i think switch it up remains the weakest track on it. i'm definitely gonna add some of these songs to my playlist though!

I'm confused cause literally every song is good except for the 2 songs (i.e. Switch up and btw) that got the mv treatment lol. AM PM and Fame are especially good.

I like his voice and he's easy on the eyes.

But my dudes, Jay Park???

[em-cavey.livejournal.com]

It wasn’t bad until Jay Park started falsettoing about how he can spend racks on me, lord I nearly threw my phone. If you mentally erase that part, it’s okay but a little boring

The aesthetics though

[camouflagecat.livejournal.com]

I'm so confused over what the MV is doing, it's just kinda... there. Jaebeom can be quite charismatic in certain situations but I feel like none of that comes thru in this kind of video.

[em-cavey.livejournal.com]

There’s a lot of half-hearted fuckboy-lite energy but there’s also like dreamy floating houses??? It’s doing a lot and yet somehow nothing at all lol.

BUT I just finished the whole album and every other song is so much better than the title. I think AM PM and In To You (eye twitch) are my favorites, the features work really well. The sound is very much def/Jaebeom but a pretty good version.

[chaotic-n.livejournal.com]

AM PM and In to You are the best tracks. BTW would be better without the auto tune and Jay Park

[myungung.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad the title track is bad, because I wouldn't want to listen to Jay Park willingly. as everyone said, AM PM and Fame are the standouts to me. Pity Fame isn't longer and AM PM is too chill for a title track. but Jay B definitely had better tracks before.

[modestgoddess79.livejournal.com]

I like it

[reader17.livejournal.com]

I was nice and relaxing, very chill. I have always thought this and I could be wrong but when I first heard him sing in Bounce I always thought he had more of a rock voice. I would love to hear a good rock song from him!
