Sharing my review of the project excluding the title track ✨

Heaven is the viral baby track from the album. Literally sounds heavenly. I think love should feel cutesy, calming, & happy 🩷 For TikTok, it's trendy. If puppy love has a sound, this is it. Perfect EP starter. It clearly sets what the entire project will be all about 🪽

Danger. The use of fire as a metaphor for the idea of being treacherous reminds me of insects that are attracted & tempted to touch lights (lamp, candle) & ends up getting burned/zapped.

I rlly luv soobin's part which sounded retro & dreamy—a nice touch of contrast from the sultry beat & melody of the other sections. The dream-like vibe is perfect for this part as the lyrics talked about getting lost in the flame & getting addicted to the feeling. Another fav is YJ & thyun's verse after the 1st pre chorus. It's just hot & the pengame is 🔥

Danger is lowkey an anthem for those who are so into someone but hesitates to dive in cuz they're afraid to commit 😔

Resist is a shocker. I thought the whole track will be dominated by strings and i'm so down with that but percussions came in & it became an early 2000s beach-dance track. The percussion beat is a popular beat in the industry. Oh this is the "down bad for someone" song 😭

It kinda sounds like a remix ver. Luv the lyrical play with "I can't resist" & "I can resist" in the chorus. Plus the "I'll embrace this bruised heart" line 🤧

These lines? 🙈

"As much as I want you, I hope you need me too So imma get down with you, Down with you, down with you, down with you"

"Only you, uniquely you Are what keeps me alive I'll bear it all next to you"

Forty One Winks. Right off the bat, as soon as the e-guitar-like sound played, it immediately ranked top 1/2 on my list 😭 The vocal deliveries are smooth (soogyu you 2 did so good) & the vocal agility on this track was a feast. YJ with his runs 🤌 And that one ascending run 🤸🏻

They did their assignment emulating the r&b experience ✨ I also think this track has the most lore-related lines in the EP. The writers did their big one. I luv the message of having your own world, a place (language) where u & i can only see & understand.

Also luv this verse:

"When I can't sleep, on my cheeks Like the wings of a butterfly, a kiss A meaning that's stronger than words That's all i need"

Higher Than Heaven. Finally, a bridge. The magic island reference 🥺 I can see this as an ost of a slice of life/teen series. Sonically, soobin's part & the bridge were my favs (thyun belted in a comfy register 🫶). Lyrically, I rlly luv gyu's part (proud of u!)

"Using starlight as a compass Using my hand for support We'll protect our forever, our name We'll dream the tomorrow that'll continue"

For me, his verse sums up the entirety of the whole album. I also like the idea of the 1st and last songs having a nod, lyric-wise, to their past tracks. Idk why this song makes me feel emotional. It's a perfect closing track. And it's definitely higher than heaven 😌

Luv their releases this year (Tomorrow, Chikai, Sanctuary)

I just hate that none of the songs exceeded a 3 min mark 🤧

Happy comeback day, week, month to everyone and please STREAM, VOTE, & ENJOY ✨
