“Minisode 3: TOMORROW,” Tomorrow X Together (TXT)’s newest album, includes a total of seven songs that are upbeat, emotional, and overall fun to listen to. The songs discuss topics like adolescence and the conflicting feelings a person may experience while overcoming a distance between them and their partner. Additionally, the members in this group – Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Huening Kai – each do a great job showcasing their singing abilities in each song.
The first track, titled “I’ll See You There Tomorrow,” is a catchy song with lyrics describing the loyalty that someone feels for their partner, as well as the hope that they will see each other again after they are separated. In the first few seconds, Soobin and Taehyun sing in a low voice with the instrumental building up in the background, an effective hook that made me want to listen more. In the chorus, the repetition of the lyrics, “There’ll be no more sorrow, I’ll see you there tomorrow,” combined with the upbeat instrumentals add to the addictive nature of the song.
The third track, titled “Deja Vu,” is another song describing someone’s devotion toward their lover. The lyrics describe desperation, as well as a person’s promise to keep their partner happy and never let them go. Accompanying the lyrics are powerful vocals and an upbeat instrumental, which I found myself enjoying after a few listens. This song is considered the “title track,” as it is the only song in the album that has a music video, and one of the songs that has a choreography that the group frequently performs when they promote the album. The music video contains an extensive amount of visual effects and even does a great job of portraying the lyrics. In one scene, Yeonjun runs through a field before falling on his knees and putting his hands into a praying position, a gesture meant to show desperation. He kneels with a sad and almost teary-eyed expression on his face, portraying true despair and the hope to relive old memories. Needless to say, this song and its music video are absolutely breathtaking.
Another noteworthy track is “Quarter Life,” sung by three of the members: Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Huening Kai. This song describes a “quarter-life crisis,” in which someone feels lost while trying to navigate adulthood. The catchy, upbeat rock instrumental makes the song all the more enjoyable to listen to. Furthermore, the vocals sung with genuine passion combined with the profound lyrics describing the hope to get out of a “dark tunnel” add an emotional aspect. For this reason, this song is my personal favorite from the album.
Overall, I really enjoyed this album. Each song is thoroughly pleasant to listen to, despite the fact that they could be longer. The songs show the charm in each member’s singing ability, which could potentially attract more fans to the group. I would highly recommend listening to this album.
