I know I'm super late, but I want to thank you for checking out the Shalala album. Taeyong is such a creative artist. You never know quite what to expect as he experiments with a lot of different genres and themes, but each song somehow is so him. My favorite on the album has always been "404 File Not Found" as well, but I love them all. Interestingly enough, "Move Mood Mode" was originally my least favorite (let me clarify that I still liked it but not as much as others) UNTIL I watched him perform it live. I highly recommend his TY Track concert performance. In fact, the whole concert is incredible. EVERY song in the entire concert was written and composed by Taeyong himself. The 404 series performance was pure art (he literally walked on a beam of light while floating in the air). Taeyong is a storyteller, and when you understand the songs, this album alone is a great example of that. Thanks again for your reaction!

2024-12-31 07:20:18 +0000 UTCthank you so much for reacting to taeyong's album! this is actually his official solo debut since his previous releases have been either SM stations or soundcloud tracks. he wrote and composed all the songs and worked with his producer friends as well! this album took 4 years to make. shalala grows on me with every listen even though i enjoyed it from the first time i heard it! it's genuinely so catchy LOL. gwando means 'quit' in korean, and he wrote this song with his friend who was going through a tough time in his relationship. taeyong played a snippet of move mood mode on live a few years back so i was happy that it made it on the album! virtual insanity is actually a remastered version of 'GTA 2', which was released on his soundcloud in 2021 (his songs on there are amazing!). ruby is probably my favorite because i think it is a beautiful song in all aspects, especially knowing he wrote this shortly after ruby (his dog) passed in 2020. the last few lines of the song are actually what he wrote in his letter to ruby when she passed. 404 file not found is more introspective, and i love the emotional vulnerability and honesty he shows in this song. i also love the production. back to the past makes me feel nostalgic for his childhood and also just how far he has come in his life and career. overall, this album really shows taeyong's artistic color and it is something he is very proud of, as he should be! if you have time, you should check out the video "definition of TAEYONG" on NCT's youtube channel bc he provides background on each of the tracks! also check out his soundcloud, that's where his solo journey began! thank you again for reacting and for supporting taeyong :)

2023-06-12 04:52:33 +0000 UTCI'm actually reading the lyrics with you for the first time and I had to pause a few times to understand them. The last song, is actually heartbreaking to know that he went through troubled times, but I think it's about moving forward and owning up to the mistakes that were made when he was young. Thank you for the reaction!

2023-06-07 00:49:00 +0000 UTCtaeyong wrote and composed all the songs on the album. Ruby was about his dog that passed away on 2021 and he wrote the song at the time. he kinda explained the songs in the trailer and choose T or Y video. you gotta check them they are so interesting and cool.

2023-06-06 21:14:14 +0000 UTCThis part of Ruby's lyrics are Taeyong's letter to Ruby back then...ㅠㅠㅠ 🎶If we meet again in the next life, Let's be each other's point of view, And fill the regrettable part of each other. Let's make sure to do that🎶
