You NAILED it! They produce modern music that sounds fresh. Their discography spans almost 6 years now, and their first songs (pirate king/treasure) stand up just fine to their newest songs (work/empty box). But I've noticed when they embrace genres, they embrace decades as well. They have a LOT of vibes from the 80s and 90s that they have managed to distill the good parts out of and bring them into the 2020s.
Is Halazia's reaction in youtube?? 😭I liked your reactions to ateez, so I wondered if you watched more songs and posted them in youtube.. @@Killdeer25
I love their last song, The Real. It's all about how humility, kindness, hard work, respect and dedication are the keys to living a passionate, successful life.
Another really impressive thing here is Mingi (deep voice and tan outfit) was sick here, and was really worried about whether or not he'd do well. It's the reason he has more water bottles with him in this than anyone else
" This group is how you do modern music well" YOU NAILED IT If youre a Halazia fan ( me too, its also my favorite title track by them) I reccomend the B sides Dune, Wake Up and New World
Ooh you mentioned synth feel at the end, they lean into that really well on some of their amazing bsides - Take me home, Cyberpunk, Silver light, this world - they never drop the ball on their bsides! Such a crazy well rounded group, please do get into them 😊
yesss! I do need to check out more for real though! they are so good! I just love their flavor! I think its pretty hard to ignore, they stand out a lot from other groups that have been around the same amount of time as them
I think r&b vocals are a lot more used in kpop than soft rock and I feel Ateez is very good in soft rock vocals which gives them a very interesting sound together, there are people that doesn't give them a lot of credit for that cause they are so used with the r&b vocals that any style of singing that isn't using it's influence isn't that great, but honestly there is a lot of great quality in the rock influence that people dismiss cause isn't mainstream today like used to be. The empty box song feeling nostalgic is cool I mean, is a soft rock ballad, many of us grew up listening to that kind of music and is conforting. I remember devoring Silver Chair album when I broke up and was my confort zone around that time lol. The thing is Ateez mix so well a lot of good stuff from music, rock vocals, edm, ethnical genres and other genres that is very pleasent, their songs don't feel outdated which remind me a lot of good rock and pop songs that we don't see that much today and those vocals they give them in the most stable way while live and dancing is so good. I have being to many metal concerts when I was younger and their concert even tho is kpop gave me the best metal concert vibe possible, was loud, powerful fun and with great theatrical and vocals. If you have the chance to check one of their concertsm you gonna enjoy they are great engaging with audience and hyping them.
I actually tend to agree, I think when you look back at the history of KPop in general, the vocals have almost always been influenced by R&B so I think there is a lot of people that just expect it to stay that way, and sadly I think if I was KPop I think a lot of the old guard are not quite ready to adjust, yet. but I am super impressed with these vocals! honestly, I just went and saw Purple Kiss and the crowd was so nuts! it felt like a metal show! I can totally see what you mean, I plan on exploring a lot more ATEEZ so I will absolutely try to watch some lives, and maybe in time I will be able to see them in person!
@@Killdeer25 Yeah you gonna enjoy I mean, they are the kind of guys we love cheering for, hard working nice personalities and fun. They are going on tour july in USA if ou have a chance to see, is worth it, trust me. I took my daughters and my husband to see them, my husband didn't know their songs but said the concert was awesome, he is a metal fan too lol
So many people are enjoying empty box im so happy to know that! Right on my first listen i was obsessed with it. It has so much bittersweet feelings and it's the perfect song to play when you wanna feel the blues. Thanks for the reaction!
Thank you for this reaction. Enjoyed your comments! Agree with all of them. 😍 I'm a proud fan. I'd nvr imagined becoming a kpop stan in my 40s but when an artist I'd admired collaborated with them on an mv back in 2020, i decided to give the mv a watch and was instantly hooked. I love their entire discography. I think it appeals to a wide range of demographics. So older fans (like me) who enjoyed listening to music of the 80s, 90s and early 00s appreciate that appeal. These guys have such bright, endearing personalities and are amazing live performers. Attending their concert was actually one of the best things that happened to me last year. 🎉🎉🎉
ATEEZ are amazing performers and they have really amazing music production that they aren't afraid to experiment with. They recently performed at Coachella (it was incredible I highly recommend checking it out) and they just performed at Mawazine festival (the first ever kpop group) which was super cool because their debut music video was filmed there in Morocco, so it really felt like a full circle moment. They come from a really small company, so seeing them go back to where they started out after achieving success that both ATEEZ and us (ATINY) never could have dreamed of was a really emotional moment. They are known for really intense performances with very stable vocals and captivating facial expressions. Some songs you might enjoy are: Wake Up, Cyberpunk, Dune, This World, New World, Arriba, Take Me Home, and Mist. They are also going on tour this summer and if you have the chance to see them I highly recommend it. I've seen them live twice (I'm going to see them on this tour as well!) and their concerts are out of this world it's an amazing experience.
thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed this! I always take recommendations, I know you won't lead me astray on what's good! I will see if I can pull off some Coachella, if Lollapalooza doesn't get blocked I am sure Coachella won't! thank you so much! I would love to see them live! that would be cool, I think the closest is LA?
@Killdeer25 that would be awesome! If you can't post the whole performance I know there are individual songs from Coachella available if you wanted to check some of them out. They are coming to LA July 20-21! I'm pretty sure there are still tickets available
I wont be too worried about it, honestly. I think it'll be fine, it might take a minute, life is going to be a little crazy for about a week or so, but I will return to ATEEZ with singular songs til I can get to that
I love to see ateez on your channel, such a nice surprise!!!! i LOVE their summer songs so much, as well as their heavier songs. The one you talked about that has a great voice is jongho and yes hes verry underrated. Honestly their live vocals are amazing. Since i see you enjoyed their song say my name in this video and halazia is also one of your favorites then you must watch "HALA HALA" and "WONDERLAND" (they weren't in this video). I think you'll enjoy these songs, and theyre two of my absolute favorites from them. Oh and what you said about their music being modern but not "too much" is so true and I agree.
yeah, Jongho! what a voice! very underrated! sounds like a good plan, you have never steered me wrong! I think you will see ATEEZ on here more frequently for sure! yeah, that modernized vocal can sound almost cartoony if done too drastically, they strike a nice balance!
ATEEZ PRESENT💜🔥Defying humble beginnings, to putting on this GODLY gig. So good that it somehow evokes heartfelt emotions through absolute fire slapping party hype anthems. After being observed as just good performers (at most) in #KPOP for so long, and just noisy music by many, they finally get to showcase their ultimate ability. AND no, not just their killer vocals, but their solid music, their everything, the #ATEEZ spirit!! Uri #ATEEZ are absolute top tier. The force is immense with #ATEEZ. Especially as a #KPOP group. For me, this #KILLINGVOICE performance felt legendary. You know how you go back to your OG idol/s or group/s and get the legendary feels and vibes. That for me was #ATEEZ, here and now. And remember they're 4th gen kpop, a truly outstanding group considering. 8 very different looks. 8 very different sounds. Together in technical musical mastery. ICONS. They deserve so much. Shoutout to #KQENTERTAINMENT and #ATINY. Love and support, forever and always. Borahae to my #ATEEZ brothers xx #ATEEZ #ATINY #KQENTERTAINMENT #KPOP #MUSIC #GOLDENHOUR #ATEEZ #ATEEZ #ATEEZ #ATEEZ #ATEEZ #ATEEZ #ATEEZ #ATEEZ #ATEEZ
Ah, ATEEZ. Not my ults but I like them. My bias is Jongho because I have a weakness for vocalists. This is another group where the Killing Voice isn't the best introduction to them. They're amazing dancers and performers.
yeeaahh I feel like its a sampler, of course the dancing is kind of left off the table but thats ok, we will revisit them for more dance focused moments for sure
Fun fact: they are at least partly (not sure if all or not) self-produced. Hong Joon, the leader, heads that up. He also produces for Xikers, a newer group in the same company.
You should react to their album OUTLAW, may would like you, that album has some metal part in somes music like Dune and Wake Up, thats skngs are amazing. Bay the way Jongho gone crazy in thats song
I want to recommend some videos that might get you to know them a little bit deeper. Hongjoong the Captain and Jongho the main vocalist have each their own episode on Lee Mujin Service. A show were the idol can sing covers of songs that have influenced them and they hold dear. and recently Hongjoong was on a show called "I.M on the Beat" it is a show where self produced idols talk more in deep about their production process and their inspiration. I think these videos can give you some very good insight into the group and the members based on their musical taste. Also, super excited to see Ateez on your channel Aron. I am a relatively new atiny but have been hearing about them for a while. My first official dive into the group was during Bouncy, now they have entered into one of my ult groups status. You already listen to many of my ults in your channel and i am super happy you are liking what you hear.
thank you! I am very new to them too, the only song I heard of these was Pirate King and Halazia! and so I need all the recommendations I can get, I really like their feel!
I'm not sure i can do this in age order but I will try (and may misspell things): Seonghwa, Hong Joon - leader or as they say the captain, Yuhno, San, Mingi, Yeosang (these middle ones are probably in the wrong order), Wooyoung, and Jong Ho. I think Mingi is a main rapper, Jong Ho is the main vocalist, and Yunho is the main dancer. Don't quote me on these. Like I said, I'm not as familiar with them.
Very close! Hongjoong* is spelled like this. He and Seonghwa were born in '98. For the ones born in 99, the order is Yunho, Yeosang, San, Mingi, Wooyoung. Then Jongho is '00. Hongjoong and Mingi are both Main Rappers. Jongho is the only Main Vocalist. San is the only lead vocalist. And there are 4 main dancers: Yunho, Wooyoung, Mingi, and San. Seonghwa is a vocalist and rapper. Yeosang is a vocalist and lead dancer.
Yay!!! I'm so excited for more Ateez. I've spent the whole month focused on them and I love them a lot. Left to right is Jongho (the maknae, with the powerful voice, he was in the Love Poem cover with Eunkwang and Seungmin). Next is San (my bias runner up number 1, he's a dancer, I mean they all dance great but his idol is Kai and it shows in his stage presence), Wooyoung (i have nothing to add about him, he's awesome though), then Yeosang (also nothing to add, doesn't means he isn't also amazing). With the glasses is Hongjoong (the Captain, he writes and produces all their songs), next to him is Yunho (my bias runner up number 2, he's a fan of Yunho from TVXQ and so am I lol). Silver hair is Mingi (my actual bias, I went into the group with preconceived biases but Mingi blindsided me, 🤷) and on the right end is Seunghwa (he likes Kai too, they gifted each other Lego I heard, cute). I think the thing with the war cries and the kind of deep chanting in some of their songs is specifically because their original concept is that they are pirates. Especially their early songs remind me of sailors chanting as they hoist sail or something. So that's why they emphasize that chest voice in a lot of their songs. Aside from Halazia which I agree is perfect, my favourite songs are Bouncy (one of my favourite mv's ever) and The Real (also a must see mv).
yes! finally! we can see more ATEEZ! I am super excited, I figured that the silver haired one was Mingi because I had seen someone talk about how him and Felix are like the popular deep voices in KPop, hey! TVXQ! and Kai? they have good tastes! I could see why you think so highly of them haha! yes! I think The Real is probably the next song I do, as cool as Killing Voices is, it is kind of a sampler style isn't it?
I always love to hear what your take is Kristen. I really sat up and took notice with Crazy Form so I am new to the party but oh have I fallen. I was about to set my sights on Seventeen which I have spent years avoiding but Ateez pulled out its claws so Seventeen will have to wait a bit longer. Trying to pick a bias is really hard hahaha at the mo it's either Seunghwa or Yunho but dear Yeosang is creeping up. I love Mingi as I don't know why but he sounds Irish to me hahaha and from what I have seen in the bits of variety stuff yeah he has an odd Irish vibe ah I digress. San is lovely. He was utterly adorable on the episode of Running Man as he along with Kai adores Kim Jong Kook. I think I mentioned it before but If you like San well worth the fun, he worked so hard at all the games, protecting the female guest but I think it was all to impress Jong Kook. The two dance practices for Work are really great too.
@@sandman3384 Haha I can totally see Mingi as an Irishman! I get it. I knew a few of their songs and have seen Kingdom but Mingi was on hiatus for anxiety back then so I was not familiar with him at all and did not expect him to become my favourite. I wasn't even paying much attention to him at first. Not sure what happened there. But I have crushed on many an Irish actor so maybe that's the reason. 😆I really love them all and could easily classify them all as bias wreckers. San, Seunghwa and Hongjoon are unexpectedly sweet and shy given how intense they are on stage. I shouldn't have been as surprised by that as a Kai fan. I love Wooyoung's laugh. Jongho's maknae on top vibe is funny too. Yeosang is lovely and Yunho is just feels like a leading man in a drama. I've seen several clips of them with Jong Kook and both San and Mingi were fanboying pretty hard but I haven't seen the Running Man episode. I'll have to check it out. If you haven't, you should check out an episode of hello82 where they have to do an English speaking fan's makeup. They are completely shy and inept and charming and gentlemanly towards her. It's adorable. And for a group with no foreign members, their English is so good, all of them. One of the best English speaking groups I've seen. I have a (long) list of groups I want to check out more. N.Flying is next on the list! Seventeen is further down but they might get bumped up higher because Seungkwang has stolen my heart after appearing on NCT Doyoung and Haechan's new eating show and after that RU-vid sprinkled my feed with a few Seungkwang eating clips and he's too cute. I don't even particularly like mukbang shows but Sengkwang is the happiest eater I've ever seen. It's like every time he eats it's the first time he's ever tasted food. I finally relate to the Korean phrase I get full just watching you eat. 😅
@@Killdeer25 You will be impressed I think, a lot of people brush off their music as "Noise", but had their eyes opened when they heard their vocals in this but come on its to be expected as its SM
