Jarod: I like the way that chord on one and three sets up the kind of weird, the cool space on the two and four, so
J: it's like not like swung but just sets up a good groove.
[Rossini's Semiramide]
Umu: GOT7 is a seven-member boy group under JYP entertainment that we actually reacted to last year.
U: One and Only You is a B-side track from GOT7's "Eyes on You" 2018 album, and as you can see before you this is a fan-made lyric video.
James: Oh god!
U: Ok, so this song features Hyolyn. Hyolyn is from the girl group SISTAR, which we reacted to earlier this year
U: However, they're disbanded now. So she's continuing on her own solo career,
Henry: Hey cool! U: and she's the CEO of her own entertainment label.
H: Hey, there you go. Elizabeth: Damn.
U: This song was composed by Shim Eunji and then three composers who I butcher their names but I'll try anyways.
U: Albin Nordqvist, Louise Frick Sveen, Fredrik "Figge" Boström
U: and the lyrics were written by the leader of the group JB.
Charlotte: OK
C: What?
C: Bom bom.
C: (laughs) Peyton: (laughs)
P: Oh my god.
Henry: 3, 2... 1
Elizabeth: Oh.
E: That is some very altered voice.
E: Same.
Hugo: Woah!
Peyton: She sounds hot.
Elizabeth: They definitely layered her voice over...them.
E: So you get the same effect of the boy band singing together but it's just her.
Henry: I think it's kind of, I think it works pretty well. I think it's pretty cohesive.
Nikki: That was really rhythmically interesting. Lindsey: Yeah, the dialect in this is really cool, the way that they're like...
L: using it rhythmically within.
in the stresses too.
Kevin: Oh man, I love
K: sharp-11, E-flat sharp-11.
Lindsey: When like, that chord just popped.
L: These vocal harmonies are so good (laughs). Nikki: Mhmm
Peyton: (singing) Don't worry baby just Korean, Korean~
Kevin: Can the song just get stuck again because I like that part where it just starts and stops
K: yes!
Jarod: I like the way that chord on the one in three sets up the kind of weird, the cool space on the two and four, so
J: it's like not like swung but just sets up a good groove.
Kevin: I like how it sounds popping but it also sounds smooth at the same time. I think they did that really well.
Elizabeth: That's interesting. He didn't have like a whole section that was rapping. He just like did his little thing and then they moved on.
Henry: Interludes.
Lindsey: That's so good man that chord is awesome. I mean- it's like a-
L: I don't even know. Some chord, some sort of dominant something it's like a
L: I don't even know.
Elizabeth: Well, they did the thing where they layer the voices really really close together again, so...
Henry: It's very nice. Elizabeth: It's such an interesting sound.
H: Well, that's the advantage to some like multi member groups, people have have like more new three or four members
H: who aren't playing instruments is that they all contribute in some way vocally and so like you can really like explore with their sound
Kevin: That's sorta cool.
K: They tonicize on the five for the bridge.
K: Intriguing.
Nikki: It feels rhythmically basic the whole way and then they like throw you something and it's really it's cool because it really deviates from that.
Lindsey: It just keeps going to two-five-six. So it's like almost two five ones over and over again but deceptive.
Henry: I also like that there's not
H: super piercing synth sounds. I can just kind of have like that really like thick, uh keyboard sound. Elizabeth: Yeah.
Nikki: We haven't heard Mark in a while on the left, I'm a little worried about what happened. Lindsey: (laughs)
Hugo: Oh god she can sing, shit.
James: Dude I like the, the... what is it?
J: Oh?! H: (singing) Oh~
J: The synth sliding in on one and three. H: Yeah.
H: Well, that's what I'm saying
H: You have those chords that slide in but in between that you just have those bass and drum set and the vocal line.
H: You have some songs where there's a very complex orchestration or synth line that's going on or bass line
H: intermixing with that and then you have the vocal line on top
H: whereas in this the vocal line really is the only melody that's going on and underneath it you have hit... hit...
H: and then bass
J: Yeah, which is what you need in this song like this 'cause you have what 8...
J: voices altogether. H: Yeah, I mean there's different ways to do it. But I like what they did. J: You can't have something that's overly complex.
H: What they did is they took something they could have been very bare like very
H: you know bare minimum, and they made it sound as though it was full of
H: harmonies, which can be hard to do sometimes but with the amount of people that they have and then also bringing in an extra voice, I think they do a good job of.
Kevin: Musically it's actually very interesting,
K: but um,
K: it's another one in where it feels like the energy just like plateaued too early and just kept on going.
K: I feel like Hyolyn's vocals could have been brought out, especially when she started doing (singing) "Heyyy~ Yeah"
K: But E-flat sharp-11 chord
Isaac: Hmm kind of interesting and all that energy just like it was really great in beginning, but then it just became really repetitive
K: Yeah. I: And I kind of noticed if you actually listen to the bass line if it goes from
I: F to A to G,
I: sometimes F-sharp and it goes back to F jump back to A and just kind of hovers in this like a
K: A? I: It stays like this??? K: Do we have a disagreement on what key this is in?
I: Wait no, okay.
K: Wait hold on. Is this G minor?
I: For some reason I heard F.
K: It's G and then it's D flat, then A.
K: Yeah, so it's one-flat six-two and five it's yeah
I: I don't know why I... (laughs)
K: It happens to me too, there's some songs. I: Yeah, but for some reason it just kept hovering over those chords
I: it's just like well, they never move. K: Yeah
I: Doesn't really too much. K: I get what they're doing near the beginning-like the first time you hear the whoop
K: Is it stuck whoop-duh-duh, duh-duh it works but then later on when it comes back like I suddenly realized that
K: it's still very busy if it could be even spar-more sparse
K: The part where they lessen the instrumentals just make it like even-you just hear the cuckoo like cu-ckoo, you just hear that.
K: That would be great.
K: But there's still something going on in the background,
K: just still a couple of layers and that just makes everything just kind of it's just the same level. I: Yeah.
Umu: Yeah, thoughts on that overall musically and how they incorporated
U: Hyolyn into their song?
Jarod: She got to be like a descant, very much like kind of like
J: riffing on top of everything that's kind of going on.
Katie: Just like the icing.
J: Yeah, (whispers) I was thinking of saying that, I was going to say the icing on the seven layer cake. K: Awwww
J: They kind of like did their thing and then she had to have been the extra spice.
Lindsey: I really like how they took the fact that they had this girl featured on the song and they really like utilized her throughout
L: and not just in the parts where she was the one singing because every once in a while you would hear just like in the
L: background like this floating high like (singing) "ahhh"
L: kind of thing and like that's pretty awesome. They like took what they had and they like made her more than just
L: her verses like I thought that was pretty awesome.
