Ah, that man with the simple and infectious smile. It's quite suitable that he sing that song which is the fifth track on this album. Entitled, Three Musketeers, it features the rapping of MC Mong and Ho Inchang. Such a funky tune, it truly lights up your day. And talking of fun and funky songs, the ninth track called (translit.) Loving Summer has Andy rapping. Again a very suitable person to do the rap. The song is simply so cute. The chorus is very simple and pure fun.
And as i said earlier, the eighth track has Eric Mun's rap but didn't know that also features the song-writing skills of M. In a recent interview together, it was revealed that Dongwan started writing songs first but Minwoo followed suit, influenced by this action. However, he did it so well, Dongwan laughingly admits, that Dongwan stopped. Such a back-handed compliment, exactly what you'll expect of Dongwan who's always trying to lighten up the mood. His tribute to M's skills, saying that it has been said it has a distinct style, that M has started a whole new genre. So, My Love composed by M with rap by Eric, sung by Dongwan. Still at times i wonder if he wrote it tailor-made or not - because Dongwan sings it a little higher than his other songs (like a perpetual falsetto). Maybe just my imagination.
'Can't love u' is a duet with Byul, whose husky voice nicely juxtaposes with Dongwan's clear tones. Another duet, 'The one left behind' this is the 10th track, has fellow Shinhwa member and ballad singer, Shin Hye-sung's contribution to this album. Reminds me of the remark i made earlier about Dongwan under the shadow of Hyesung. Their voices complement each other a little too well, until if you weren't listening carefully, you would think same person. Which was the reason why i missed it the first. But this is the kind of ballad Hyesung is known for.
The first track is in actual fact an extra new track which Dongwan penned. It is lighthearted which explains why lil'one Eri liked it more than the first single Handkerchief (here it is the fourth track). 'It's my Fault' somehow sounds very, very familiar. Exactly like those songs you'll hear included on a soundtrack of any drama, played when the protagonist leaves the love of his live etc etc. And the seventh track, roughly translates like Love, Poor is a ballad which has Mando-pop tones.
The delightful sixth track is Scream, a cover of song written by Takuro of Glay and Shun of Exile. It features rappers D.Bace and DJ Tukutz of Epik High. Nice, very nice. He likes J-rock, i think. He sang X-Japan's Tears and La'cryma Christi's Cry Sour Grape (but was very strained with the Toshi's song, X-Japan is kinda metal so that kind of screaming is very hard act to follow).
Finally, current favourite remains the Three Musketeers for it brings a smile to my face everytime i hear it.
Kim Dong Wan-sshi, good job.
