We can’t really blame Woozi and the boys for taking this direction that time those heavily “drop the beat”-reliant songs were all the rage in 2017. Basically, the choreography sold me to the song, which otherwise I had dismissed as just another Chainsmokers sound-alike. That Hoshi had to study contemporary dance to choreograph this masterpiece is mind-boggling. From Jun introducing his members sitting on a couch, some book from Wonwoo being passed around, The8 air typing in the aforementioned couch, to Seungkwan delivering a 4-note, 8-second explosion, the live stages were an absolute treat.Īs for the mysterious book, it was last seen with Woozi at the second repetition of the chorus, who passed it to its seeming owner, Wonwoo.Īs mentioned earlier, I was not a fan of this song when I first heard it. Of course, the 13 did not disappoint come music show promotions, as the choreography showed the group in their quirky and entertaining best. Pretty U is one of those songs that maximized Carat’s anticipation for the group’s live stages because the music video did not feature any choreography and only showed the group goofing around in the video’s entirety. The other members either get ignored (poor Jeonghan even had to spin her around in a shopping cart) or get stared at as almost all of them burst into confetti, including Mingyu. A curiosity in the music video: The featured girl moves closer to only one member – Mingyu, on the swing. That’s okay, because Wonwoo wasn’t able to join the promotions anyway due to acute gastric problems. This song unfortunately did not win any number 1’s in music shows. Boo’s stratospheric high notes, this song is a sure mood improver guaranteed to perk you up when you’re in a sluggish mood. From Vernon’s multilingual countdown at the start to Mr. “Very Nice” is a high-energy track and therefore is textbook SEVENTEEN. The open-endedness of the song is quintessential Woozi, which means it is quintessentially heartbreaking. With lines (translated) such as “What do I do? Without you, my heart has no home” and “You’ll struggle just as much, so what can we do?”, you can’t help but wonder if the repeated assurances of “Cause I’m your home home home home” in the chorus answers the uncertainties in the verses. But after listening to the entire song, one couldn’t help but notice an overwhelming helplessness in the verses. This is in no particular order, because trimming them down to six has already broken me and I do not wish to further shatter my Carat heart into a million pieces by ranking my chosen six.ĪT the start, the title track of the band‘s sixth mini-album, “You Make My Dawn” may sound like this warm and cozy song about declaring that you are home to the person you’re singing the song to, vice versa. The temptation to do a list of 17 songs is strong, but I don’t intend to be overwhelmed, so six it is. So, for their 6th anniversary this year, here are six essential SEVENTEEN title tracks. I was converted in 3 minutes, 26 seconds later (Disclosure: It helped that the first line was sung by my bias breaker Wonwoo.) Those overhead shots of the group dancing in what looked like the middle of a desert silenced me. A personal example: This writer easily dismissed Don’t Wanna Cry as one of those typical songs that heavily rely on the beat drop. Obviously, it also doesn’t help that the accompanying music videos of the title tracks are also works of art. But then, it’s also a bit challenging when you are handed out one banger after another, so much so that Carats are often in a dilemma as to whether they should stay loyal to the group’s last release or move on to the latest track. Not bad at all for a 6-year old group.īut whatever the reason is for their substantial musical output, we Carats are surely spoiled for choices, especially when it comes to picking out favorites. Finally, the group has released really solid songs originally in Japanese, which adds to their already-established catalog. It may be because of their unique configuration of vocal, hip-hop, and performance units within the larger group that has provided them with more opportunities to release more songs, or it may be because the group is essentially a self-producing unit – most, if not all of their songs have been composed and produced by the members themselves. It has been six years since Pledis Entertainment debuted the group SEVENTEEN, but their discography can rival groups that have been in the business longer.
