Forward of an eventual BTS reunion as soon as everybody has accomplished their navy service, oldest member Jin is again along with his second solo mini album. I lately loved watching him as a part of the solid of Netflix selection collection Kian’s Weird B&B, the place he got here off very effectively and added a unusual humorousness. That character doesn’t at all times switch to his solo music, even when its rock edge holds potential for inventive shade.
New single Don’t Say You Love Me performs issues extraordinarily protected. That doesn’t robotically have to be a nasty factor. In any case, Jin has confirmed adept at delivering a pleasing radio sound. His voice brings character to even essentially the most simple pop songs. Nevertheless, there comes a time when you will need to lace a track like this with one other layer to maintain issues contemporary. Don’t Say You Love Me may very well be a solo monitor from actually any male artist ever. It’s nearly genre-less in its mushy enchantment. I can’t think about anybody hating this, but it surely’s additionally arduous to see what would make a listener turn out to be dangerously obsessive about music so “good.”
Don’t Say You Love Me‘s melodies are tried and true as a result of we’ve heard them earlier than. The chord development is predictable in a comforting approach and Jin’s mild vocal slides effortlessly excessive. However like an excessive amount of of his work, the track lacks any friction. The music is simply there, taking part in within the background as we admire the beautiful cinematography. I suppose there’s a time and a spot for this type of numbing agreeability, however I’ve to consider Jin is all for extra daring materials. As a fan, I do know I’m.
