"Feel the same" is the 12th track from VALENTI, BoA's second Japanese album, released in 2003. I’ve always liked it, but relistening for the rate has blown my mind!" I kinda hear it now! I can't tell whether (6,75) had a problem with the vocals or not " Some of these vocals soundin a bit.toothy? nn" What does it mean? Vocal master please help a sister out (7,5) tastefully highlighted the background vocalists " The tight harmonies in the chorus are pretty dope."Īnd (9,5) made an interesting comparison that suddenly makes sense to me " Serving Janet vibes, another stunning song. Much like (5), who could only muster " it’s there." But once again, the vocals, both from BoA and from the background vocalists, are the strong points here and they deserve all the praise.Īs expected, "I Got U" didn't appeal to everyone. However, with this one, it almost feels like I'm listening to a demo. There are instances where this kind of composition works, I mean I'm no stranger to loving more minimalistic music.

barebones? I'd like to imagine the intent was to let her vocals shine while the instrumental takes a backseat, but it sounds like it is lacking in a few layers. To touch back on the point above, I get frustrated to hear BoA belt over a beat this. I'm actually positively surprised it went this far as it got plenty of scores in the 5 - 6,5 range! It pretty much got no negative scores, which means it did at least something, even if it seems like not everyone could make up their mind where to place it on the scale.Įven though the song doesn't really go anywhere, as it more or less stays in the same spot all along, the background vocals do elicit something in me. Mainly driven by a minimalistic beat and some synths and strings that come and go, it's an album track that's quite unique in its instrumentation. I always considered "I Got U" to be an oddity. It was written and composed by Stevie Bensusan and Claudio Cueni, and arranged by Claudio Cueni. "I Got U" is the 3rd track from My Name, BoA's fourth Korean album, released in 2004. With earlier Korean albums you could tell by track 5 if there would be quality control issues, but despite not being a new sound for BoA this song fits nicely in the My Name track listing." However something about this song reminds me of the quality control that came with My Name. It could easily fit among the Atlantis Princess album and reminds me of the vibe of songs like Beat of Angel, The Show Must Go On, and EXPECT from L&H. Well, maybe not (5), who didn't seem to care about it and stayed literal " it’s a (7) liked it but was hesitant about one thing " End kinda abruptly, pretty nice overall though." That wouldn't happen with a slower pace!Īnd as usual, (7) makes some points by placing the song under the context of its parent album and its siblings " This song isn’t brand new territory for BoA, but it’s a fun summery breezy mid tempo with a bit of bounce to it. I have no idea if what I'm imagining makes sense, but my point is we're totally in the presence of a song that would shine through an alternate version as well. Let it rest and then see what comes out of the baking process. Wrap it all up and put it in the oven for a few hours. Extend the outro so there's more time for the drum rolls to be complemented by additional instruments. Rearrange the structure so there's an actual build-up to the chorus or something. Keep the strings but put them more on the forefront. Slow "완전한 날개 (One Wings - Embracing Each Other)" down and repurpose it as an orchestral or eerie trip-hop-y track. I'm not done so bear with me because it have a take©. In this configuration, the whole thing feels busy, like it wasn't allowed to breathe but hey, maximalist pop is my thing too! Samesies for the drum rolls that surround the outro. As I'm not able to not complain, the string section in particular has to be highlighted, but I wonder if it would stand out more on a lower tempo. But when it's on, it simply clicks! Layers of production pop off left and right, making for a cinematic vibe that makes me recall some anime OSTs. the pace maybe? It means I have to be in the right mood to truly appreciate what I'm hearing. When the latter and *checks notes* more revered albums are losing deep cuts, you know things are ramping up! I like this one but I can't lie, there's something about it that can be a bit much for me.

It was written, composed, and arranged by Yoo Young Jin. "완전한 날개 (One Wings - Embracing Each Other)" is the 5th track from My Name, BoA's fourth Korean album, released in 2004.
