Early Access: SKZ - Ice. Cream (Hyunjin)

Here's our reaction to SKZ Hyunjin's Ice. Cream :D!

We all scream for Hyunjin, don't we.

Enjoy <3

Early Access: SKZ - Ice. Cream (Hyunjin)

Comments

Ohhh it’s such a good song! Hyunjin brings such a unique flavor to his songs. I actually really liked that little chord dissonance - I think it matched the “ice as a cream” theme because those words separately bring about a clash. Ice being cold, frigid and kind of crunchy almost? Where cream is soft, sweet, and warm feeling. This song samples Honesty by Pink Sweat$ but if I remember correctly Chan did the instrumentation himself here and I think he made some really good choices for the chords.

I did notice the "clash", but I also think it was a stylistic choice. The way it all resolves at the end of that phrase matches with the lyrics so I would assume it to be purposeful. The bitter clashing notes turning soft with the resolve. But then again, it has happened before where they miss something then it shows up and fits well so they run with it. Can't say more since you're not there yet, but who really knows. I still think it fits the song well in any case.

Hyunjin writes some great songs - so different from the songs the other members write. I love his artistic and creative mind. And speaking of art......that's his own painting being used in the video. I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how his art is being used for more of the group's song thumbnails and videos. Such a multi-talented guy - as are they all.

yes!! i loved this reaction especially because ice.cream is one of my favorite skz songs, and you did some language/lyrics explaining that i appreciate!- i love pretty much all of hyunjin’s songs. they hit just right in my brain. his voice is sweet and smooth, kinda mellow- so good, and his lyrics are always so poetic and romantic and have this kind of.. hopefulness , i guess? joy. innocence. lol i’m going overboard. i’m an artist, i love his art, and when he posts his drawings and paintings, i’m always over the moon!!

I noticed the chord conflict as well but I thought it worked and I thought it was intentional. I think it was meant to put a "bite" or bitterness into the sweetness of the song just like Hyunjin we are to see ice as a cream when listening.

I think Hyunjin is such a romantic deep down. Loves the idea of love. He's such an amazing lyricist and composer. I cant wait to see more of his creativity come out!! And the whistle at the beginning was him. Who whistles like that!!!

Nova

everyone has said this he sounds like Rnb Colde

Ron Jackson Jr

I'll have tissues ready for the next song lol

Yes, we all scream for Hyunjin haha. I don't like comparing members, but he does make me think of a little Han. They both love to just try new styles, new vocal techniques etc, and being on this SKZ journey and Hyunjin's personal artistry journey it's just... Wow. I never know what I'll get with his solo stuff, but it always surprises me and just makes me proud of how far he's come along.

Ok I'm back. You don't know how real that is. I scream, you scream, we all scream for Hyunjin 😹. Hyunjin's artistry is unique and beautiful. I cannot wait for yall to get to his most recent stuff bcuz gah damn its beautiful. Did we hear what D'some? Not me rewinding to see if i could hear something. It was a short song. Aww, i love that. Hyunjin's tone has evolved and i think he found his niche now. He sounds beautiful. Especially when you listen to his new stuff and if you ever watch the SKZ cover Sherlock by SHINee. The lyrics were pretty. I never paid attention to them before. So that was beautiful. I could see one sided love bcuz he mentioned it. But i also see it as a tsundere vibe as well. OK D'SOME BRINGING OUT THE GUITAR!! You pick up the notes so quickly. Thats so impressive. But i guess i shouldn't be surprised considering what you do/did for a job. Im gonna go back to listen for the clashing sound now. Hyunjin is a sensitive guy. Yea i could see them doing it purposely bcuz the ice to cream is kind of a clashing idea or the one-sided love is clashing. Yes. I LOVE that Hyunjin includes his art. I loved it when i first heard it. I DID NOT expect it. I did know his lyrics could be deep. I thought his vocal delivery was different from what i had heard before but i enjoyed it very much.

I enjoyed your reaction to this song. Thanks for explaining some of the lyrics' wordplay, which helps us get to the point more than reading the English translation. As a bias of Hyunjin, His vocals had significantly developed since the NOEASY album. Only by listening to all the tracks, I found many beautiful and elegant vocal parts that no one could guess who sang (even in some fan's line distribution videos, they thought the wrong person). We were all so surprised after the performance MV was released; for example, the song "Secret Secret." Hyunjin discovered the different colors of his vocal tone and played around with each song until now. I'm proud of him that some vocal coach reactor, who didn't care about him much at first, now says she's living for Hyunjin's vocal part.

His vocals in this song sims like will melt like the ice.cream hahaha it's soft.. And I think it suits well the lyrics... it may sims silly but closing the eyes it's easy to imagine the story he's telling <3

Always amazed by Hyunjin's talent and his determination to always continue to improve himself in all artistic facets. He is a far cry from being just the visual as most labeled him from his trainee days. Thank you for another great reaction. Looking forward to #LoveStay.

PS. The evolution of Hyunjins vocals and rap style is amazing. I personally love this song and his style in it, along with his softer vocals recently. But his rap style too is so very much HIM and I just love that he is embracing it and not trying to be like someone else. Really, I love that they ALL have am individuality to their vocals, and yet they know how to (as in Neverending Story) adjust to fit together. Their collab, Going Dumb, is also a good example of this - every time I listen to it, I try to pick out each member's voice and it's almost impossible for most of the song!!

I really like the dissonance that harmony creates because it is so subtle in the back. It kinda gives you that feeling like the narrator is ignoring the fact that this person is just actually cold and the sweetness they are talking about is something they are projecting onto the situation that may not really be there. Like when you notice a red flag in someone but you are so infatuated you convince yourself it isn't there. At least that was the vibe I got - a love song that is about lying to yourself.

Yes! If HanC hadn't pointed it out, i was going to: the art IS by Hyunjin! He does an art piece (or 2) for all of his songs which just adds a whole other layer to his music. 😊 And we got DSome's guitar skills!!! 🙌🏻 And, I'm musically inclined but.... man, that deep dive into the chords and everything was amazing! Thanks for doing what you guys do! 😊🫡 Can't wait for #lovestay (idea by Hyunjin and written by Hyunjin, Felix, and I.N btw 😊)

Give me like 2 minutes to get somewhere at work and I'll watch this. I lied. I just got a vendor so it's going to be longer than 2 minutes. But I will be watching this while at work so...shhh Ok I'm back. You don't know how real that is. I scream, you scream, we all scream for Hyunjin 😹. Hyunjin's artistry is unique and beautiful.
