What's this, a Music Monday again? Yeah, I know, it's been awhile. But finally,
finally I'm clearing my summer trio with this track from NCT 127!
Song:
WalkArtist:
NCT 127Release: July 2024
Genre: Kpop, hiphop
cw: aggressive flashing, camera motion, Mark and Doyoung in glasses
I'm purposefully using a performance version rather than the music video, but if you want to watch that surreal affair, it's
here with warnings for flashing lights and Taeil's stupid face (though it also includes an
adorable Taeyong baby picture, so, you know, use your own judgement) -- since Taeil was still on no-dancing medical restrictions at the time, performance versions don't include him and his lines are visually covered variously by Jungwoo, Doyoung, and Yuta. And if you have no idea why I'm casting salty aspersions on Taeil, uh, we can talk in the comments.
( actual review under the cut )WALK, the 6th album from which this is the promo track, is available on all major streaming services and wherever you do your Kpop buying. While Jaehyun has since started his mandatory military service (and Doyoung is expected to start his soon), 127 has been doing fanmeetings and live shows with US dates coming up at the end of this month and on into March.
Want to see Music Monday deep dives more often? Sponsor a song selection! For the low, low price of one (1) KoFi, I'll write up the song of your choice. ANY song of your choice. Yes, even that one that's been played to death. Yes, your obscure faves too. With sponsors, I can stop skipping weeks and falling further and further behind in the releases! Sponsor a current CB for the next open Music Monday slot or sponsor a throwback for a Thursday feature!
But seriously, if you've been enjoying my selections and analyses, we (me and the foster kittens) would love a KoFi in thanks.
