The comeback was definitely a catcher. What really did interest me the most was how minimalist it was. It really pushed the limit of how minimal a song can become with instruments. In comparison to Stigma, Singularity really does have a significant cut in instruments, but even then both test the limits of minimalism. What was really nice was how there didn't seem to really be a "drop". There were two moments where the instrumental did pick up, but even then the main focus was upon the music video itself and the vocals so the importance of the "chorus" wasn't really there. Impressive, as it just shows that you don't need a chorus to have a song be great. Singularity did an excellent job, and that's mainly due to the fact of V's falsetto and the choreography (which was absolutely beautiful, really creative and well done). The choreography was an eye-catcher for how creative it was and it's flexibility of sharp and smooth. The movements had this element of importance in each stroke for how minimal the music was, making each move appear more important. In terms of vocals, V is a baritone but has such an excellent falsetto. His falsetto is remarkable for how well he can support his tone and breathe, and Singularity (including Stigma) really punctuate the strengths in his falsetto. Definitely adding this one on my Spotify playlist.

Keone Madrid did the choreo (DNA outro dance, Not Today, a bunch of others) and what I find interesting is that the choreo pulls, at least partially, from his routine made for a much more up-beat song: “I Need It” by Johnny Balik. It’s really neat to me how it can play so differently with such different songs. The lyrics focus pretty heavily on the story of Narcissus, which seems to be pointing to the darker sides of love for this album, and I think the dancing actually did help to compliment the lyrics and music in an almost hypnotizing and discordantly beautiful way. I loved this trailer, and not just because V is my bias.

Hey PD, great video! I'm wondering why you're not filming with your regular setup? Loved your insights as usual although I do have one note. While your reactions focus on critiquing video production with other song/lyric commentary as an aside, it does bother me in instances like this where you choose not to give the lyrics a read before giving your final thoughts on camera. As a film storyteller yourself, I'm sure you would have great insight into how certain film techniques or the visual imagery used conveys a certain theme or message (in this example, the story of Narcissus and the ice/water imagery, the opposing sides of the singer's persona talking to each other in the song and the use of masks, Ophelia reference). I would loved to hear more of your insights on how effectively/not effectively/clever ways in which you think the visual references work for the story being told in the lyrics. However without reference to the lyrics first, it's unclear how you respond to these references. I only find this a shame, as you would have the most technical reference to critique the ideas being presented in the MV - not because of any need for you to ~appreciate~~ the lyrics, or whatever. To be fair, this criticism only applies for some certain appropriate MV's which enhance or reference the lyrics, which not all kpop MV's follow as a rule. BUT I think it's pretty easy to check quickly off-camera just so you know you're not lacking any of the info relevant to the story the MV is trying to convey.
