That Was NASTY!!! – V of BTS Reaction – Tiny Desk Korea

8 comments

1. We knew you would enjoy V's Tiny Desk mini concert! As you noted, V's vocals are just amazing! You must also react to Le Jazz de V and his latest release Winter Ahead. The official MV is a mind-bender but if you want to focus on vocals and lyrics, pls choose the MV that says Cinematic Still Ver. Looking forward to your reactions!

2. V always hits the spot. His vocals intonation enunciation with the music instruments and character he brings. You want to move to his music breathe it in and enjoy it. He is a true artist. This album was a no skip album critically acclaimed. Bif you want good music real. Music look for V. This is what music should be about this is what an artist should be.. All about the music.

3. Fun fact Jacob the saxaophonist is a Grammy award winning musician. And don't feel you need to say every member is good. However good the may be, V just stands out by miles.

4. Thank you for your comprehensive reaction!
   We do love our Kim Taehyung very much not only for his astounding talent; but also for his generous nature either in professional or personal capacity.
   He loves sharing good music from any artiste, big or small and he always always allows his band/musicians to shine in performances.
   I second the other comments that suggested you to listen to Le Jazz de V and his latest single which he co-wrote, Winter Ahead.
   Enjoy the journey💜

5. Спасибо❤❤❤❤

6. please react to Le jazz de V where he covered cheek to cheek and it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. And his news singles Winter Ahead, a jazz song and Fri(end)s a pop r&b song.

7. Thank you for the reaction. Love V 💜

8. Thank you for this great reaction and Welcome to V’s World. It’s a very rich, complex and nourishing place which I hope you will take the time to exploring fully. Taehyung as I’m sure you will discover, is very much the Artist’s Artist…. (Jon Baptist after interacting and working with Tae later named him as the Artist he most looks up to. That is weighty praise indeed and one of many instances where Artists have praised Tae or chosen him as an Artist they like.)
   Coming to this reaction firstly thank you for your reaction, I especially loved when you talked in detail about the instrumentations of the songs, as well as the vocal aspects.
   For us Tae biases we in general very much enjoy genuine, detailed, intelligent and thoughtful reactions that are rooted in reality, the specifics and from a place of honesty.
   This live rendition of Slow Dancing was special indeed as it was the sax version. The Album version is with an even more daring in today’s world, flute solo and as well an alternative piano version.

   When it comes to Tae, you will notice that he is a music lover to his core hence why he allows the instrumentation to shine so much in all his works.
   He learned the sax for 4 years growing up, and has practiced the trumpet, violin and other instruments too over the years. He listens to all types of music from Bing Crosby, Chet Baker, Ella Fitzgerald, to Prince, John legend, current in trend hiphop artists and classical music, to Rock, Korean Trot and the latest pop music too. He listens to all types of music which he often shares with us.
   His vocal range is also another remarkable thing about him & very interesting as he is technically a lyrical baritone which is super super rare in kpop. He rarely sings in his own comfortable range with-in group songs as the vocal-line members consist of tenors so he often is the one who has to compromise. He has however turned this into his own super weapon though as he has the widest range vocally. His range is Eb2-Eb6/Eb2 – D6 (3 octaves, 5 notes 1 semitones) Supported C3-C4/C#4. Both the highest & lowest notes in BTS music are recorded by him.
   I highly recommend exploring Tae’s discography further as there are so many treats and jewels within them.
   I highly recommend his debut Album Layover in full. 3 songs of which you heard here… his goal with his album Layover was for it to be a calm tranquil moment of peace for ARMY and music lovers, where they could take a moment to breathe and check in with themselves, He also wanted the tracks to be listened to in order which I highly recommend when listening to his album as you will fully experience some of what I mentioned above as well as a choseive and coherent narrative and musical journey which is very satisfying and fulfilling. It’s classed as a no skip Album.

   His album was included in the list of many publication of best albums of 2023 (and 3 tracks appeared in the list of the 100 best songs of 2023, showcasing the strength of the album) (Specifically Billboard, Rolling Stone, and Timeout magazine)

   I highly recommend his song Fri(end)s and Inner Child for something a little more uptempo… For more gorgeous winter Jazz his song released in November Winter Ahead with Korean musician Park Hyo Shin. The highest debut for a jazz song in spotify history. There are two beautiful MV’s: the official which is great for its mesmerising, masterful and intriguing storytelling though separate in meaning from the song. And to focus fully on the song the cinematic still version, where the song really is allowed to shine.
   For an alternative dreamy R&B song I highly recommend his song Wherever u r with indie musician UMI, for a singer songwriter acoustic feel his record breaking k-OST’s Sweet Night and Christmas Tree (not a Christmas song don’t let the title fool you), his actual Christmas songs Snowflower and his official duet ‘White Christmas’ with the late Bing Crosby, or his other Neo-soul queen Singularity and the sultry Stigma…. Or For the ultimate peace, his songs Scenery and Winter Bear which were originally released as a gorgeous gifts to ARMY.
   Or to see more of his personality and live music his episode of Palette with Korean singer IU.
   Sorry for the very long comment, you will find us Tae fans are especially passionate and enthusiastic and excited to share our favourite musician with others 😅💜
