Unicorn Jukebox

GOT7 is a 7 member boy group under JYP Entertainment that debuted in 2014. Eyes on You is their 8th mini album, and just like their previous albums they had a part in writing and producing. The title track “Look” is one of their most successful singles since their debut.

Let’s take a moment and break it down track by track

One and Only You ft. Hyolyn: I thought this was a really good track to start the album off with. It showcases the funky feel that is utilized further throughout the album. It also has a little bit of an old school R&B feel, which is really fun. I liked how the song felt very much like a duet between a man and a woman versus a feature. It was a new and refreshing approach.

Look: This track again takes on the funky feel that was in the first track, but with a little more of a fresh style. Overall I felt like the song was fairly standard generic kpop title track. I did watch the music video previously, and nothing really stood out to me from watching it. I do think that the slowing down of the bridge has a really cool effect.

The Reason: This was a really peculiar song. When it first starts you think that it is going to be a ballad, but then picks up and changes. Then suddenly there is a rap breakdown. It’s cool that they tried to do something a little innovative and different, but I was not really feeling it.

Hesitating: This song was one of my favorite on the album. I thought the funky bass backing track was really cute. I also really liked the usage of silence in the second verse. Overall it was a really cute funky song.

Us: Again this song features a funky feel to it. I really like how they are very obviously influenced by funky throughout the album, but all of the tracks sound very distinct. I love Jackson’s voice in this song particularly.

Thank you: I love when artists make the choice to end their album on a ballad. I think it is such a bold choice and love when it is done well, as it is here. This song was definitely my favorite on the album and the whispered ‘Thank you’ at the end of the track was so cute and put the perfect ending to the album.

Overall Rating: B+
