song review

TXT = Times X Together

Album - Dream Chapter : STAR

Release Date : 4 March 2019

Label: Big Hit Entertainment

Genre : K-Pop


TXT is a new K-pop group who has just released their EP single CROWN. The group’s debut album ‘’Star Chapter‘’ consists of cute-style sounds but with profound lyrics, a little similar to the legendary K-Pop group BTS (first K-pop group to make history in America). This is not a surprise since both groups are under the same label.

The group's choreography and beat in the music video express a bright vibe and feeling, which incorporates both traditional Korean elements and western ones. In the the said video, TXT members wear bright coloured clothes to show their vibrant image as best as possible.

TXT’s song explains that no matter what the situation is stay true to yourself. This is shown in their music video as it explores the idea of self acceptance and perseverance during hard times in life. For example, the chorus says "you save me don’t know who I am and you have become my crown”. This expresses the idea of the pressure of being perfect, and it enables the listeners to feel the emotion to themselves .The instrumental music includes a young fresh jazzy pop element that is so fun to listen to.

The CROWN track is a perfect source of entertainment with its refreshing and energetic beat. It is a symbol of inspiration to young audiences experiencing the lack of self-confidence and self-love through its heartfelt track.
