it's the way they're literally exploring so many genres from the 90s and the 2000s but making them so fresh and unique every single time for me! They're truly one of a kind!!!
New jeans is so brave to show us different genre especially in the industry of KPOP where the music videos and songs are so energetic and idk how to put it 😅😅😅😅
Also agree on the today-versus-the-90s vocals. There would definitely be more processing with today's digital recording workflows, and more autotune compared to then. It does sound different.
@@fifizappareacts Maybe studios can go back to the more analog recording setups used back then, costs aside, but that would mean more intense training for singers i.e. there's no digital processing fallback so they have to get good. Then again as you said the themes and songwriting styles are different so yeah it would still be hard to pull off...
Analyzing the theory "Supernatural" according to someone else's thoughts and guesses - I found this comment on another reaction video's comment section!! Supernatural - supernatural phenomenon The first scene is the city on a thunderous night. Surely the weather in this city is unstable. Danielle's first song: "Stormy Night" with a TV screen showing the daily weather forecast -> proving that these girls work in weather- related jobs. Next, NewJeans stepped out of the truck. If you pay attention, this vehicle has a transceiver mast, this is a specialized vehicle used to forecast weather in all terrain conditions. So here we can temporarily understand that NewJeans plays the role of a supernatural weather forecasting team. The city is experiencing unexplainable weather phenomena, so NJs has been called to investigate. During the investigation, Haerin encountered a unicorn hybrid zebra (called a zebra unicorn or what???) and was hypnotized by this unicorn (?). Next, Danielle suddenly discovered that her eyes were glowing, electric wires were growing all over her hands, followed by an electrically charged cloud. It seems that supernatural phenomena in this city can transform the people and animals here. In the next part of the MV, we will see the scene of Minji and Hanni having a tense argument on the balcony, Hanni said "I will definitely investigate". Maybe it's because the whole team was called in to deal with supernatural phenomena, but Haerin was hypnotized and Danielle was radioactive. In the teaser for part 2, we can clearly see the image of the rabbit-eared flying saucer getting closer to city, the rabbits all turn towards the flying saucer as if towards the mother planet. MOST SPECIAL: looking across the city, the broadcasting tower has turned into rabbit ears. It seems like alien rabbits have invaded city BUT ATTENTION - WHAT ROLE DOES HYEIN PLAY IN SUPERNATURAL? If you notice from the beginning of the MV, Hyein does NOT interact with any NewJeans members - only interacts with the male character. All scenes with Hyein are either solo or talking and laughing with the male protagonist. Especially at - Minji patted the male lead's shoulder to go but completely ignored Hyein??? Is Hyein's character originally an invisible ghost and only the male lead can see it? Hyein is introduced at the beginning of the video as Lee Hyein aka The Bunny - so Hyein and The Bunny are one - but The Bunny's dance scenes also appear and disappear, the same filming set but parts include The Bunny and parts do not. Let me guess here: Hyein is a person from the rabbit planet, casting invisibility spells to blend into the NewJeans reconnaissance squad. Who would have thought that a young man in the NewJeans investigation team would see Hyein and the two sides having a crush on each other. In the back, little Hyein shows her true Super Rabbit form, driving a flying saucer to invade the city. "Supernatural is a song that portrays a message of hope about a destined relationship, that no matter how painful things get, our relationship will last forever!" Guess that's it, the MV part 2 will be released next week and see how it goes. Who knows, maybe this unexpected plot twist will be part 2 of the MV OMG these kids are all mentally imagining it?
The song is more faithful to actual 90's New Jack than the more modern versions of the genre, and that in part has to do with Pharrell being one of the producers of this song. Another thing that I find interesting is the use of the "oh!" vocal samples during the chorus that's being utilized is very reminiscent of how it used to be done, as well as the right use and time of the orchestral hits, synclavier sounds and synths that actually sound like actual analog synths. It's chord progression also helps in making it sound more "New Jack" because its using similar chord progressions to those used in those songs back in the day, whereas Finesse still has basic and simple chord progressions as it's just being more mainstream, not pushing too hard on RnB. It's definitely giving Teddy Riley/Michael Jackson's Dangerous album vibes, like Remember the Time, or Can't Let Her Get Away, and it's something I desperately wanted to hear in K-POP for such a long time.
From this year cb, i think Supernatural is my fav >< it feel nostalgic, calming and in the same time is catchy. I LOVE THEIR VOCAL IN THIS SONG, and i think everything is just perfect ❤
I grew up to this ! I appreciate newjeans for bringing some of this old school music to a lot of their younger followers that never heard or listen to this kind of music, now they do ❤ A lil Keith sweat new edition love me some 90s and you are absolutely right newjeans don’t make bad music team adore just knows good music and what fits these girls and they always look natural doing it, I can’t say enough good things about newjeans they in their own lane, great take gurrfrann 👌🏼
Este grupo está en su punto me transportó y el baile está clásico los movimientos de los pies y la coreo impecables una de las mejores rolas del año señores
보통 케이팝 리액터들은 뮤비가 얼마나 화려한지, 얼마나 컨셉이 자극적인지로 호불호를 판단하는데 이분은 음악적 분석을 더 솔직하게 해주셔서 너무 좋음... 장르는 어떤지, 뭘 원하고 이 곡을 만들었는지를 생각하면서 듣고싶어 하는 거 같아서 기뻤어요 단순 조회수 늘리려고 과도한 칭찬만 늘어놓는 게 아니라 보기 편안한 듯 영상 감사해요!!🐰
When "Supernatural" dropped today, I am in love with the "New Jack Swing" beat as soon I listened to the song. I know it's not 100% the "New Jack Swing" genre, but NewJeans done it the best compared to the other k-pop groups that release this type of song recently. Fun fact: When I am in a shopping mall today, I was listening to NewJeans's "Supernatural", I think I almost start dancing and make myself a clown, it was so embarrassing.
The song was sampled from pharrell's song for manami "back of my mind" back in '09. That's why I think it feels nostalgic cus it's from the og composer of songs that hits back in 90s to 2000s ✨💯
I got on point the point you said about the critique in general, the way nowadays artists handle the old sound. Wow, that’s a sharp insight. Thanks for your reaction and comments.
this release has been my absolute fav out of the 4 they came out with this year! the song, the vibe, the choreo, the vocals, the mv everything is just so enjoyable to me
I'm like overstimulated. Like you don't understand. I don't know why people are saying that New Jeans aren't doing well this year. This year has some of my favorite song genres from them. City Pop with Bubblegum? Miami Bass with How Sweet? Jazz fused with Drum and Bass with Right Now? and then New Jack Swing with Supernatural? I'm in heaven. They cannot be played with
Some people have a one dimensional music taste and this year they’ve been deviating a lil from the more “trending” sounds in pop I feel so maybe the tracks have been less appealing for a lot of people!
NJ is opening in many avenues for music exploration especially for stans who listen almost exclusively to kpop. When the Supernatural teaser dropped, I remember a bunch of people asking recommendations for similar tunes. The Pharell William track they sampled here is also in the charts rn. That's an achievement no amount of albums sales or charting can top
Maybe this is giving that nostalgic feeling that you don't wanna let go as 'Ditto' does in some kind of way. I'm starting to love it more and more! 🐰💖🫶🏻
Late 80’s to early 90’s actually … groups like Jodeci and Big bell devoe released songs like this in the 90’s. Big Bell Devoes ‘poison’ was released in 1990! You also have groups like colour me bad releasing their new Jack swing albums in the 90’s! Jade, Hi-Five, and Heavy D and the boys also examples of artists releasing new Jack swing in the 90’s! So yeah… that’s why people are saying 90’s … cos it was popular and being released then, not just the 80’s! Hope this helps :)
@@fifizappareacts true, it did linger into 90-91 but it's still most associated as the 80s. 90s has a totally different sound, dance and aesthetic. Source I'm old
Just did a quick google of new jacks swings most popular time and apparently it dominated the charts 1989 - 1993! I guess it’s similar to the late disco sound creeping into the 80’s as well !
@@fifizappareacts ya pretty much that, it's a sound and aesthetic that just fits what the entire 80s was more cause the hip hop shift in the 90s was dramatic, into Nas, jayz, Tupac, biggie, Mary J Blige, Destinys Child (Beyonce), Aaliyah, etc. Hope that makes sense
the song is so groovy and magical... it's one of the best they've done so far. I also feel that it is one of the songs that makes their singing and dancing skills stand ou the most, it's crazy 🐰💞
This is interesting and funny because I actually like how Kpop is taking influences from the 90s/early 2000s era of music. I personally think the best era of music is the 90s to early 2000s. I don't like when kpop does 70s to 80s simply because I dislike these eras of music. Basically, 80s was more popularized in kpop during the retro trend in 2020 and 2021, and I dislike it because it was overcontrived and it lacked the groups specific charms. The only group that has been able to do late 70s to early 80s music properly is Twice with the formula of love album and Oneus Black Mirror.
