KPOP Producer Reacts to ALL OUT - K/DA 

Day with night unfortunately the 2 of them the difference is nuts

So damn true and sad :(

oh snap i didnt know that! interesting to read, thanks hub i appreciate it!

@@AZODi also you can hear in the Pop/Stars and The Baddest, that when there's Ahris part of a song (it's usually pre chorus) she always brings that 80s sound with her and the fact that her track I'll show you is fully about 80s vibe is really clever. It's so consistent. They didnt just put out few tracks and called it album, they actually worked on it as a whole. And it's a video games company omg. Wtf? Why would they put so much effort. I feel like Riot Games employees are all very inspired by what they are doing.

@@NCore_._ well the Riot peeps said they aren't exactly solos, more like "directed by". "Akali had the girls back her up on her track" was the exact sentence.

If you ask me "More" is all about Seraphine

i feel like baddest was all of them, similar to more.

lol def had that with the song structure in villain! interesting concept!

yeeeaaa that DnB ending was so dope!! It was a great surprise!!

I feel the same about it an it’s my favourite song from the ep!

Same here, I loved the edm feel to it, and its unforgettable chorus 😂, this is definitely my favorite

hahaha how naive and oblivious i was 2 days ago!!! mwha ha ha!

The way he simply moves his dead to the beat omg

@@rezy.u.u976 i couldn't sit still on my seat! xD

haha i see what you did there! yeah i have to agree, it was a little toooooo chill for my taste but as mentioned in the video, i go for more hype tracks generally!

@@AZODi they just released a Official Concept Video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xoWxv2yZXLQ.html

I think its perfect, cause they made this song all about evelyn (the character). She is all about charming you and playing with ur mind and your emotions. So i think they didnt let the song peak and let you kinda hanging, cause they are playing with your mind.

@@sentoo7606 The song is great but I want to hear the uncut version. I’m pretty sure the uncut version is darker than the final product not the other way around, otherwise they wouldn’t have edited it.

@@NanoDelMar is that actually true? I thought that was just a thing they put in a magazine of a promo pic with eve.

she doesn't just murder them, demons in league feed off emotions. fiddlesticks for example feeds off fear and evelynn feeds off pain, so she tortures them as much as she can before killing them

oh yeaaaa!

I kinda find it a bummer that Drum Go Dum is the least listened to amongst the 3 new songs because it's my fav one as well. "I'll Show You" has a retro-like 90s/2000s vibe (which I can't really relate cuz I'm not alive yet in those times XD), while Villain is a slap for me due to its creepy and ominous vibes that fits Evelynn perfectly. But I'll have to go with Kai'Sa and her "Drum Go Dum" due to it still having some traces of K/DA's signature instrumentals and it sounding like songs that slap from 2012 (like Dum Dee Dum).

But it isnt Kpop mate.

@@flower0113 no. The whole reason KDA exist is because Riot Games make music every yewr for worlds and 2018 was held in Korea. Apparentky billie eillish make kpop now. Not every pop song is kpop smartass.

@@flower0113 no it's inspired by kpop

Drum go Brrrr is the extratone version

LOL amazing

haha nice! just saw they dropped a teaser for it!

@@AZODi yeah Villain is Evelynn’s solo track- she’s the one with the big claws and sinister eyes, I’m excited for the concept video’s. And such a good reaction! I love all 3 of these new tracks.

haha yeah and then it will all fire up again when they drop the next mv for it right?! XD

@@AZODi No doubt about that! I’m exited!!

XD you know its a good hook when it doesnt leave your head for ages haha reminds me of the KMac video where he hits that bum note when shredding with delay on his guitar haha

Same omg

Ahh amazing that would be cool, all of them are considered A-Sides then! I can see those working! Thanks I appreciate it Chris and glad you enjoyed the video!

@@AZODi "Villain" concept video releasing 11th November 😊

@@xenodotwav I thought, "I'll show" you as the song that would be in the Korean "Highschool Musical" and now I hate that I came to that conclusion... xD

haha fair enough!!

great to hear quinten! (u dont happen to be a quinn player by any chance? haha) I appreciate it and glad you learned something new!

@@AZODi I hate to say this, but I don't even play LoL haha. I do love all the music Riot produces though. Quinten is my actual name :')

oh yeaaaaaaaaa!

Yeah its a hard one to decide aye cutlery!! not just a game company hey! haha

Villain without a doubt. Drum Go Dum is a nice bop though with a lot of energy though. Also Villain and Drum Go Dum arnt kpop because these 3 tracks are produced by indivisual members and not all of K/DA. Villain is eves song, Drum Go Dum is Kaisas song, and Ill Show You is Ahris song. Eve and Kaisa arnt Korean in their K/DA character bio, so their "solos" arent going to sound like kpop. These songs are meant to represent the style each member brings to the group individually. Eve is a demon/succubus who has a very sadistic and sensual style. Her song is more lyrical focused to express these feelings/tendencies while giving a more subtle sinister ambiance to the beat to strengthen the lyrics. Kaisa considers herself more of a dancer then a singer. Her origins are from south africa, but she traveled a lot when she was younger so her accent is ambiguous because its meant to be a mixture of different accents. Her song is more high tempo and steady while being easy to dance to so their is way more emphasis on the beat to showcase her style. Ahri is more of a prototypical kpop star who was the one who gathered the K/DA members together and is the leader. She was an idle before K/DA as well. I think her song was meant to be a throw back to her old days as a young kpop idle, but I think it missed the mark because the entire theme of this EP was expressing the styles each member currently brings to the group, but Ahris doesnt do that. Its to bubbly and innocent for Ahris current style which is more elegant and mature and like you said, it sounds a bit to western as well. Although their were a couple of singers on that track that sounded like like Ahris style, the chores didnt do her justice. I think it was to cheesy personally. Also to top it off, BADDEST was Akalis theme song. But it was also the prerelease, so it had all the members in it as well since it was meant to be an appetizer for More. Thats why BADDEST and More sound more like K/DA songs, they are the only 2 songs with all 4 members.

@@TheSpencer1000 Great to know thanks Spencer, interesting stuff!!

Villain, followed by I'll Show You. I like moody, atmospheric music, and there are a lot of little interesting things going on in Villain that help flesh out that sinister mood. I also have a nostalgic soft spot for synth pop, it was a persistent soundscape when I was a kid in the late 80s. The D&B inflection of Drum Go Dum counts against it for me, but that's a taste thing. Not to dunk on Drum Go Dum at all, because there are no bad tracks on this album by a long shot.

Drum go Dum is by far my favorite. It has that rythm and beat that jives with the kind of music I usually listen to, and also is great to listen to while working out! I just love DnB. Villain certainly fits Evelynns character, but the only "part" I like is the weird one towards the end before the final chorus. I didn't really go with I'll Show You. It sounds too much like a high-school kind of track, and that's not me.

Drum go Dum, there's just so many switches where the song goes in unexpected directions (plus the energy). If you check out the lyrics the song is also loaded with references to Kai'Sa's lore or powers in the game: "went and got some wings", "I like to make it rain", "got good vision"

haha most def!

5* Michelin!

oh yea! so many ideas!

its a tricky one isnt it?! i think for me still the baddest is my fav!

thanks adaboss!

thanks so much coco! glad you enjoyed the video, yeah i try to give as much info in these reactions where poss!!

for sure marxia! haha i def hear that movie vibe you mentioned

I agree that it isnt as bad as people say, but i think its my least favorite from the ep

I'll show you is a bop, I love it 😍

Literally my favourite song on the ep

nice! The baddest still no.1 aye?! :D

ayy thanks for the info varllas!

haha thanks so much pablo i appreciate it and glad you enjoyed the video!!

Villain (Evelynn) The Baddest (Akali) I'll Show You (Ahri) Drum Go Dum (Kai'sa) - and match the characters personas and style.

thanks so much kershme! i greatly appreciate it and glad you enjoyed / learned something from the video :) Yeah tbh i can't see that either with I'll Show You, more so with Villain as its calmer and more chill? Thanks again I appreciate it, hope I can share some of my own original productions with you soon!

@@AZODi I think that would just naturally be the next step in this progression :D

​@@rara2ra2yrra3racjj2 :D

@@NCore_._ Very understandable.

haha i hope someone does a DnB remix!! then we can have ALL THE FAST DRUMS!!

most def!

XD

Rock on!

XD

LOL thinking face XD

nice choices max!

great to hear jeremy! glad you enjoyed it!!

thanks so much rf! glad you enjoyed the video!!yeah serious banger drum isn't it?!

yeah it sounds great, way more advanced than my feeble knowledge of the subject haha

fair point mint! could be a few things, the mood / emotion is generally different with I'll Show You vs. the other 2 you said? could be that?

the language lol

yeaaaa! think ill have to drop another video about that track when the mv drops!

Thanks Gear! Appreciate it!

yes, but the intro in his reaction to skz' backdoor is iconic

haha nice! great minds think alike aye Astr? XD thanks for your comment!

thanks so much paul appreciate it! glad you enjoyed the video!

that would be so dope in a club! haha

Woah thanks so much Chihiro, very nice of you to say and I greatly appreciate your comment here! If it helps I've been writing songs for about 15 years and producing for 11, I studied commercial songwriting for 1 year when I was 20 haha everything I have learned has been from failing a whole bunch of times, working hard to gain new experiences and having great mentors along the way. haha glad we laugh at the same points, thats funny! Ayyyyy I see what you did there! glad the video helped with some marketing as well as music education too haha thanks again Chihiro!

thanks greg appreciate it! glad you enjoyed it!

thanks so much iri!! haha glad you like the blue bubbles lol i should switch up the colour!!

And Thresh is Evil Manager too :v

haha no way thats awesome jesper!! thank you for being no. 20k!! glad you enjoyed the video and learned a thing or two, i appreciate you!

haha i dunno about that but i am happy you enjoyed the video spohp!!

yeah for sure crim, i'll show you does have that radio hit vibe to it, its probably the most upbeat and positive feeling song on the ep right? thanks i appreciate it, the edit always takes the most work so glad you noticed!! i try to keep it to the point and not waste anyone's time haha

@@AZODi Also, they just released the "concept video" for villain, and that video is absolutely nuts.

loool i guess that makes sense!! XD

it really is! cant wait for the new stuff to drop

true! villain had to go in the middle tho right? to mix up the energy for the entire EP

:D

hey lucas yeah woodkid or keanu reeves haha

great to hear gbz, i appreciate it and glad you enjoyed the video!

ayyy thanks dillion i appreciate it and glad you enjoyed!

haha thanks iman i appreciate it and glad you enjoyed the video!

hey! i had a listen and it sounds like it has a couple of things. They harmonized "brain go" lines with whispering to help with the creepiness haha it sounds like they have automated some artificial vibrato i think? gives it that wobbly kinda sound. Instead of getting the vocalist to do it naturally they have done it with a plug in, gives it more of a robotic in-human feeling to it! one thing to remember when trying to recreate effects from big records like this one is almost always, you will never get the exact sound 100% but you will get close to it. the main thing is you attempted to recreate it and learned a new technique for your future productions! hope that helps!

@@AZODi Thank you so much!! This really helps! You mentioned using a plugin, do you happen to know what sort of plugin creates that effect? 😅

@@HalaCG no problem look for ring mod plugins too. can grab some free ones here - blog.landr.com/best-modulation-plugins/ maybe Nectar can achieve the same effect too!

:D

thanks so much winded i appreciate it! glad you enjoyed the video :)

thanks so much ocean i appreciate it and glad you enjoyed the video!

ayyy thanks dude i didnt know it was his own one! just saw it was DC! do you skate?

thanks so much loke!! haha all good maybe one day aye!

Ayyy thanks Guy! yeah me too, I do go into some detail about my thought process when they announced TWICE for this EP haha

yeah i saw it! i have a plan for the drums do dun mv, can do villian if you guys enjoy the drums video i put together!

great to hear vianey! haha thanks, south of London accent that XD
