Oh my gosh, I CANNOT BELIEVE that we get to hear from Adrian about Taemin's music!!! Umu and team, thank you SO much for organizing and delivering this content. As a hard-core Shawol, this is golden!! Thank you!!
Teaming may not be the moost powerful vocalist ever in terms of being loud, but he’s powerful in the way he communicates through his singing.
OMG hearing all of Adrian’s inspirations for Black Rose is pure gold. I don’t know if we would hear about this otherwise without your channel 😂😂 thank you so much for this! The amount of passion you all talk about music with is just so endearing :’)
i just wanna say THANK YOU ADRIAN for writing lots of SHINee and taemin's songs and ofc Black Rose bcs its officially one of my favorite b-sidetracks of all taemin's songs ❤️❤️
I thought Adrian McKennon would only talk about Black Rose but I loved to hear his opinions on the rest of the songs. I just loved this whole album. One of the best in kpop this year.
Wow I surprised when Adrian said he wants to see Taemin performing for “Just me and you”. Because Taemin said this song has performance(lyrical hip hop) and he made a VCR for his concert, which was cancelled due to pandemic back in March. I really hope the situation gets better soon and we can see that finally!!
Black Rose is such a beautiful song
Adrian really really reeeeaaaally admires Taemin, has he said if he ever met him irl?
I think that Taemin still harbors a little bit of insecurity with his vocal abilities. And it makes me so happy that people are pointing out how much he's improved vocally. He's truly worked hard to improve himself.
I am a fan of SM artists, and an Exo-L. It’s just fair to acknowledge that Taemin is the most interesting and outstanding idol.
Kevin, in an interview, Taemin specifically said he changed the structure of some of the music and was the one who changed the key in the last chorus. He said this song was his baby and he did a lot with the music, lyrics, and production to make it his own. I'm glad you liked it so much because it's a testament to Taemin's musicality.
What I appreciate about discussions with songwriters like Adrian McKinnon is that obviously, both those from Umu's side and those from the songwriter's side learn from each other's opinions and analyses. There's always this reputation of classical musicians as being music "elitists"; Umu and the rest of the ReacttotheK people are trying to break that stereotype. And while their analyses of kpop music can have the tendency (which is understandable) to give non-classical musicians a nosebleed (ear bleed?), how they dissect multiple layers of sound and give "names" or "labels" to those points in songs that impact listeners is a really great thing!
When he was talking abt taemins vocals, I totally agree Taemins vocals is so underrated. I know he can do so much more but I like how he wants so surprise us
That's it, I'm officially an Adrian McKinnon stan. I loved hearing him talk about his inspiration for Black Rose and I was surprised but very happy he talked about the whole album.
Thank you so much for this.
It's not that people aren't liking Taemin's music, it's really that SM isn't giving him any promotions which is really hard to watch as a Shawol. What Kevin called sloppy in 2 Kids is what makes the song feel so thick and painful for me. Maybe I need to listen to an instrumental version edit lmao because I'm not getting/feeling what either Umu or Kevin are saying at all.
I love Adrian's view on music, about how singles should stand the test of time. its really smart that SM has this kind of guy with this type of thinking. I also love hes complerely infatuated w taemin and his potential. i only wish he had more input in the video cos we'd love more of his thoughts on the album. Some of the times he was too quiet
Many fans thought that Black Rose is sequel of Mystery Lover....
Thank you Umu, for bring us so much quality content ♥
Thank you guys for this and thank you Adrian so much for making such great songs for Taemin and SHINee. I want to point out 2 Kids was not released between SuperM songs, that was Criminal. Taemin was given almost no promotion nor activities for his album, they had him doing all this SuperM stuff instead of what he usually does for his solo comebacks. It's very unfair. SM just dropped 2 Kids in early august, with literally no promo. We fans found out two days before it was released and we didn't even know it had an MV, so imagine the general public. That's a major factor why 2 Kids isn't as popular as a Taemin song would normally be.
