This song is pretty golden! I have no clue have took me so long to discover what a gem it really is. Now I don't really follow EXO all that well, I can't tell you the names of each band member, and I admit there are times I mix up one or two of them BUT that doesn't mean I'm deaf to all they have been doing since they first debuted in 2012. Their on fire and only getting hotter as they get more comfortable in the world of K-pop. Now I absolutely hated "Wolf" when it first came out though I love the music video for some odd reason. I thought "Growl" was pretty cool but nothing had grasped me yet until I heard "Black Pearl." When people say that usually the promoted singles aren't the best songs off the albums their right. There's so many hidden gems that aren't promoted and honestly I would have picked "Black Pearl" over "Wolf" to promote instead. The song has a nice darkish vibe to it, I absolutely love it when groups go to the dark side. I was pleasantly surprised that they could pull dark so well therefore they made a believer out of me. So while I'm not quite a fan, I can still appreciate a good song when I hear one. :)
Black Pearl
Growl tipped me off into the world that is EXO, but Black Pearl gave me creepy fuzzies when I first heard it (translate- omo... what sinfully delicious song IS THIS!) (translate- it's fantastic). I hear much talk about Exo having great B-side tracks, and it really is true. I can't stand Wolf, I barely tolerate most of their 'hits' from debut year, but my fave songs are ones like Black Peark, Heart Attack, and My Lady.
ReplyDeleteHmm I gotta check out those other songs then. So do you call yourself a fan or just a curious k-pop fan?
DeleteOne of my favourite songs by Exo next to Heart Attack for example . Well those songs actually confuse me because I still don't know whether I actually like Exo and their output as a whole or notXD
ReplyDeleteYeah I keep hearing about how good "Heart Attack" is...I'm still on the fence with them, on one hand they actually do have good songs you just have to listen to the album to see that and on the other do I really want to take the time to learn each 12 members names..!
