I'm not an expert but I can tell the mixing and mastering of these song is absolutely insane, the tone and the note...... even people said “Riot created league of legends to promote their music.”
@@Pelusa190 Yes He said Seraphine is the new champion. But he also said she is the new member of K/DA. So that is why Haverd Foxling wrote this comment.
The drop at 11:40 is even harder, that beat switches to just pure "brutalism" - is that even a sub-genre of beats ? It's normaly a term in architecture, but it fits so perfectly.
During The Baddest when Akali says she's the GOAT, they should've used a football/soccerball instead of a basketball. Would've been a great reference towards her All-Star skin.
@@YuenQestir Also the Goat is usually a reference to the best basketball player out there. I think Michael Jordan was the one that was called the GOAT and then kind of became a thing and people started calling other athletes the goat etc.
The production value of the entirety of K/DA: the music, the animation in the MVs. Everything is just so INSANELY AMAZING IT’S RIDICULOUS AND THROUGH THE ROOF. Everything is so damn clean the QUALITY UGHHH
I can't really understand why you'd say MORE is bad.... It's just more mature. Obviously if you like fast paced music then that's a thing but MORE seems more in control. Which makes sense because they're in a throne room. After all there was a 2 years break so the members grew up.
There is one dance move they do in this video that falls really flat. It's like the motion capture didn't quite capture it so they tried to hand animate it. The rest of the video, when that move would be repeated, they cut it. It just feels dead compared to the rest of the dancing. The dancing and motion in Popstars is significantly smoother. They also use a camera trick in Popstars that gives it a very subtle different feel. The camera is locked off and only pulls back. It just has a very different feel.
I love seeing producers and professionals react to this because it is just insane. Ridiculous amounts of work and talent went into every part of this. One thing no one talks about... the camera. Do you know how hard it is to replicate camera moves that look like an actual person is holding them? Because you have no rig, no body to see. Yet this camera routinely overshoots and corrects. There are zoom focus issues like a real cam op would have. It wobbles like someone crouched down and is rocking back and forth. Camera movement is crazy good on this. They created LED screens in animation for the backdrop... not just a video element in the animation, but LED screens in animation playing a video element. They really wanted this to look like it was really made. The part when the new character comes into the group.. a vocal coach reacting pointed out the change from staccato singing to legato singing. She sings very legato which fills in where the music has pulled way back. Smoother, ethereal as you put it. Then right as she approaches the light she changes back to staccato as the music builds back up to the drop. Seriously, I don't think I have ever seen any other group with this much production value.
Same! The producers and the video editors like Jordan Orme ... it's so great to just hear something and know it's next level and then have experts break it down and explain to you in detail why you're right! :D
Truly Their level of production is almost criminal. it crazy to listen to stuff riot puts out and then other music. and you cant help feel just how empty the music sounds in comparison.
Tbh the first time I heard pop/stars I expected it to have producers that are already known in kpop because western pop is just... Yea empty. I was literally shocked when I found out that it was all riot
i know this is late but kai sa's verse "i don't fit in the mold i'm a rebel" is a representation of her gameplay mechanic which is different than the "mold"
The Baddest has a really cool mix of genres. You get the hard dubstep/edm beats but the way she sings over it is reminiscent almost of country. And then a totally different sounding bridge with an almost 80s twinkle synth. The contrasts they constantly throw at you so smoothly really make their music.
14:21 I'm pretty sure that's Jeon So-yeon a.k.a. Soyeon from (G)I-DLE and I became a fan of her because of that part th-cam.com/video/UOxkGD8qRB4/w-d-xo.html in the K/DA - POP/STARS video. She has this snotty, bratty tone in her voice and I really like that. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeon_So-yeon
the small attention to detail that I love is when Evelynn drags her clawed fingers over the marble bust, in "More", and the scar marks actually follow the tips as she flexes and curls her hand over the shoulder.
14:08 is the part you kinda missed when you said "what is this" at the end of the song. it was actually used in the song. I didnt notice it until second run.
I love the way he reacts to the things he likes, I would SO sit here and watch you geek out about all the things they did right or wrong, for hours on end. I watch someone else who does something similar called T B Skyen, and I need more like him PLEASE.
This is also the fourth time they used a fictional group's song release to promote a Skin line. First was Pentakill, then was K/DA Pop-Stars, then True Damage's GIANTS, and finally the All Out EP for the second K/DA skin line.
Wait Kda isn't a Kpop Band. it's composed of 2 korean idols from (G) I-DLE namely Soyeon (akali) our Main rapper, and Miyeon (Ahri) Our main Vocalist and Leader of Kda. And 2 American Singers namely Madison Beer (Evelynn) our lead vocalist and Jaira Burns (Kaisa) our lead dancer, lead vocalist and rapper. And lastly the Collaborating member of Kda seraphine, which is a Chinese, voiced by Lexie Liu. I Hope everyone acknowledges the American Singers too, because it hurts to think that people know they're a Kpop group even if they're not. and two of the members are great but underated American Singers.
At 5:58 I actually did point this out. Sorry if it was not clear. However they are owned by a Korean record label Stone Music Entertainment. This would inherently make them a kpop band. You don’t have to have all Korean members to be considered a kpop band. It’s about the label you are singed to. Thank you for your comment. 🙏
@@serenitymindset I didn't expect for you to actually reply to my comment.🤧🤣 but yessssssss, thanks for the correction. People should love madison beer, Jaira burns and the other american singers in kda. they're underated singers and the goal of Kda is to promote them.😫💗
If you haven't seen their first video (but it sounds like you did, not sure) *POP/STARS* from 2018 you gotta check it out, it's just as Fire, they also performed it live ONCE at the League Of Legends World Championships, they used "Augmented Reality" to have the animated characters perform alongside the real singers, they even had shadows on the stage! K/DA *POP STARS* th-cam.com/video/UOxkGD8qRB4/w-d-xo.html K/DA *POP STARS LIVE LOL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS* th-cam.com/video/p9oDlvOV3qs/w-d-xo.html
i'm so jealous of what you know lol... i'm just an ancient and the last time i remember feeling what i felt when i heard K/DA was when young me first heard The Prodigy. Just absolutely saturated, given so much yet strung out for more, "YES! THIS is what my ears want!!!" lose my mind, dominated and left twitching. I can't imagine how much more insane this must be to take in when you actually understand the production and know what it took to pull this off.
Gorillaz was the first "virtual band". Vocaloid singers (which Hatsune Miku popularized as one of the first major Vocaloid stars; 'she' literally sold out stadiums in Japan) were next. But Riot definitely brought a different element to "fictional"/virtual bands and possibly keyed in on the turning of the zeitgeist. Gorillaz was ahead of its time and does a lot of concept albums. Vocaloids/Hatsune Miku are a novelty that showcases technology. Pentakill, K/DA and True Damage are culminations of decades of development in the virtual music scene, in a way. It's an interesting thought that I never had before.
The Baddest is such an incredible track, easily K/DA's best so far (and that's saying something because Pop/Stars, I'll Show You, Drum go Dum and More are also sick).
The Baddest is come out first before MORE , but you see in lyric of Ahri I am doing .... Insane and quen MV end, the background color is the future of Skin All Out for KDA
It's kinda like the 3rd time i watch this video in 1 month and i would really enjoy to watch your reaction to others riot songs like "take over" or "giants-true damage" Btw keep this videos!!!
Hey...they have official instrumentals, in case you didn't know. You probably know what to listen for, but without lyrics, there's some really subtle sounds adding to the overall mix. Also, the acapella mixdowns people do are pretty good. Pop/Stars had backing vocals singing notes I didn't hear with the full mix going.
Serenity: "riot has a lot of money and they just throw at these producers and videoagrophers and these people are being payed out the wasu and rightfully so..." Riot: "bro that was just pocket change, just wait....we ain't use the wasu yet"
I'm not an expert but I can tell the mixing and mastering of these song is absolutely insane, the tone and the note...... even people said “Riot created league of legends to promote their music.”
If it's true that mean they are genius
Who will think about it
and Arcane
Agreed. These aren’t even appreciated enough by gen pop. The production value is through the roof. Effort level is completely unreal.
Absolutely agree! I also love to see how different places around the world have such different style!
Ha ha and league was made with unreal engine
This is literally why I started playing league when their first single came out. They are marketing geniuses.
Welcome to Elo hell
They really know how to market their game.
oh same with me... and my first skin in the game was Ahri Kda. like, yeah, you won me Riot
music team: 20000 iq, marketing geniuses, good music
balance team: NERF AURELION SOL NOW, HE HAS MORE THAN 40% WINRATE
@@sagiekaharizi and add the same agent in two different games(Zeri and Neon)
Seraphine isnt the new member, she's just collaborating :)
He’s talking about in the game. Seraphine is the newest league of legends champion
YES..SHE'S ONLY COLLABING
@@Pelusa190 Yes He said Seraphine is the new champion. But he also said she is the new member of K/DA. So that is why Haverd Foxling wrote this comment.

You cant remove seraphinr, u know the owner of LOL 😀
just pause whenever you want, dont need to be sorry, this is what the video for, REACTIONS!!! btw i really like your video
🙏
lol dude looks real stressed...like riot just shitted on his whole life. was so funny. I love this reaction
It's like, "I learned making music for entire life, I can produce one, but damn Riot... I still had more to learn??"
Why do i have the feeling that you gonna be huge one day 🙃keep it up dudeeee
Thank YOU!!! Thats so kind!!! We are just getting started!
that drop at 11:20 is insane, gets me every damn time.

Lots of people saying Popstars is better than More, but as they say in the lyrics: You want More.
Well pop stars has a special place in our hearts and it will always ....but we should always be ready for more
the thing is "more" is amazing but popstars is so much more iconic and catchy
I can't really understand why you'd say MORE is bad.... It's just more mature. Obviously if you like fast paced music then that's a thing but MORE seems more in control. Which makes sense because they're in a throne room. After all there was a 2 years break so the members grew up.

Just a reminder that, Seraphine is not a member of K/DA, they only did a collab with each other C:
define ”we”
@Little Bread Riot announce it at the beginning, that it was a collab and not a 5th member
Also it’s the reason seraphine is shown in the FT section on the title
I love listening to The Baddest's instrumental! it is so clean!
The Acapella too, I love it. Like the way they use the vocals as instruments sometimes is just insane
This is the first time watching a reaction where I noticed all the girls are wearing heels (Sera is wearing platform heels) besides akali lol
i know this is late but kai sa's verse "i don't fit in the mold i'm a rebel" is a representation of her gameplay mechanic which is different than the "mold"
THAT IS SO COOL! thank you!!!
and she literally has different DNA since she got her second skin
@@sidekicks1403 she's kind of like venom that way
The Baddest has a really cool mix of genres. You get the hard dubstep/edm beats but the way she sings over it is reminiscent almost of country. And then a totally different sounding bridge with an almost 80s twinkle synth. The contrasts they constantly throw at you so smoothly really make their music.
Sooooo good! Alkali go Grrrr!
I fell in love with Akali when Pop/stars came out (lmao still my picture) and expected to play her a lot but I'm a Vayne main🗿
The Baddest is the most underrated song on the album. I wish they had given us an actual video instead of just a lyric video. This song is badass!
I wonder how you'd react to "Is This Bad B****** number" composed, arranged and written by Soyeon (akali) you can try listening to her mini album
I really recommend turning the captioning on for these. The lyrics in Korean are translated, and are great.
11:20 I love the sharp pitchy "clank" noise that comes in here, my favourite part for sure
Try it with lyrics on, there’s some hard Korean lines
Your reaction is literally everything.
So glad you appreciated it as much as the rest of us watching this vid did.
I love how you actually know stuff abt the game
Yeah, with kda almost all the time it is a first time reaction, no matter how many times you watch it xD
14:21 I'm pretty sure that's Jeon So-yeon a.k.a. Soyeon from (G)I-DLE and I became a fan of her because of that part th-cam.com/video/UOxkGD8qRB4/w-d-xo.html in the K/DA - POP/STARS video.

no, the official video oblt got soyeon and miyeon,you are talking abt their cover
the small attention to detail that I love is when Evelynn drags her clawed fingers over the marble bust, in "More", and the scar marks actually follow the tips as she flexes and curls her hand over the shoulder.
Omg you should do Villan Next
Underrated reactor. I love reaction videos that actually react! Keep the pauses going. Love the analysis! 😍
I love watching how excited you get over the production and the visuals. So glad this was recommended to me!

KDA - Pop/Stars is still my favourite or their video, and its live performance was very innovative.
Man...ur reactions are so good. U are the only that truly feel the value of K DA production. Keep it up bro
Just a heads up, Seraphine isn t the new member of K/DA, she is just in collaboration with them for the music video :)
oh that so cool! Thanks for the clarification!
The Baddest is easily my favourite KDA track by farrrrrrr
- How much money will you give us, Riot, to make it good?
- YES!
K/DA Takes the best of live action filming and animation and just mashed them together in the best way possible
-A random fan
I love how the video is created to introduce Seraphine to KDA
Also great vid, the quality is great even though you just started. Keep up the great work man! Cheers for the future
Seraphine is a new character, and she doesnt in Kda, they just co op

"More" is awesome and the video is pure eye candy cranked up to 11.
fun fact she wasnt interrupting the prior singer before her verse it was her the whole time

And soeon, rapper in k/da
YES absolutely! Soyeon is soooo talented! i cant wait!
With his monotone voice Serenity Mindset sounds like he's just so DONE with this (awesome) shit...

Good Reaction dude! keep it up! There are only few of you guys who reacts properly while incorporating knowledge. Thumbs Up!
I really appreciate that! That’s absolutely my goal.
Yep, maybe the next video is KDA Villain's reaction..
You are correct!
He should listen to Drum Go Dum
Why is the volume constantly going loud then quiet?
