[Album Review] Second Wind (1st Single Album) – BSS (SEVENTEEN)

BSS (Boo Seungkwan, Lee Seokim aka. DK and Kwon Sooyoung aka. Hoshi of SEVENTEEN) made their highly successful and popular comeback back in February of this year with Fighting (ft. Lee Young Ji). It is also one my favourite singles of the year thus far for its encouraging and positive message and exciting energy. Released alongside Fighting are two other singles, which forms BSS’ first single album Second Wind. This comeback also marked the trio’s first release since their debut back in 2018 with Just Do It. My overall comment on Second Wind is that the single album is fairly consistent, but a good listen nonetheless.

1. Fighting (ft. Lee Young Ji) (Title Track)Click here to read the full review for Fighting. (8.5/10)

2. LUNCHLUNCH tones down the single album with a neo-soul R&B track, going with a much less “in-your-face” approach compared to the title track. The instrumental was a groove, and super enjoyable. The vocals here are much more soothing and delicate, which I very much appreciate following the likes of Fighting. The melodies are also pleasant. While all the of the above is good, LUNCH faces a bit of a repetition issue. I do feel like my interest of the song wanes as the song progresses. But overall, a good listen. (8/10)

3. 7PM (ft. Peder Elias) – Rounding out the single album is 7PM. It is a soft pop ballad, half in Korean and the other half is in English. This was a lovely pleasant listen, with melodies that is bound to make you smile. 7PM also features Peder Elias (who leads the English half of the song). Peder’s vocals meld extremely well with BSS, creating a harmonious and inviting atmosphere in the final song. (8/10)

Overall Album Rating – 8.2/10
