0:16 But in the meantime, I just want to say I love Edmix.

0:19 I love them so much.

0:20 I was fortunate enough to see them live.

0:23 I saw them live in concert.

0:25 I was so close to the stage on this past tour and it was life-changing.

0:32 It is to this day my favorite K-pop show I've ever been to.

0:37 I still remember that show.

0:39 It I danced my ass off that show.

0:42 It was awesome.

0:43 And Enmix is such an incredible Force Live.

0:47 So if you're able to see them live,

0:49 go catch them live whenever they're in your area.

0:53 Uh this is not a paid advertisement.

0:55 I just really love them and I just want everyone to experience

0:58 what a fantastic and phenomenal K-pop show and mix puts on.

1:04 In the meantime, guys, welcome.

1:06 So, today on the Culture Study, I'm checking out Crescendo.

1:09 Heavy Serenade will be out miday.

1:12 Uh, I'll be back to check that out.

1:17 And, uh, I will be doing a listening party for the Heavy Serenade album.

1:21 And Heavy Serenade is not going to be out on YouTube immediately.

1:25 I usually react to stuff.

1:27 Put it out on Patreon.

1:29 Everyone gets early access to it.

1:38 patreon.com/formtherapy.

1:40 All right, with that in mind, let's go ahead and check out Crescendo.

1:45 This is Crescendo by Enmix.

1:48 I[ __] up that intro.

1:50 All right, let's go.

2:16 It's quiet.

2:37 Bummer.

2:40 Oh my god.

2:41 Out of control to go my deep shallow deep shallow fairy tale.

3:02 Happy ending.

3:13 I'm your desire.

3:16 Oh my god.

3:26 That is breathtaking.

3:26 Wow.

3:30 Deep and shallow here for me.

3:38 I'm here for you.

4:06 Oh my god.

4:19 Wow.

4:33 and Mix and Mix not beating the allegations that now

4:39 that their pre-releases are always the most sloppiest of slap songs ever.

4:48 their pre-release songs like spinning on it are incredible.

4:54 They just they're mindblowing.

4:57 Crescendo really lives up to its name.

5:01 Uh the way that the chorus of this song just

5:04 crescendos into this epic epic chorus of emotion is amazing.

5:10 Especially with the lyrics of just being there for one another.

5:14 It just it sounds so warm and comforting and wow.

5:23 I I loved that.

5:24 That was that was wow.

5:28 Wow.

5:28 Like it it was a very strange experience watching this because

5:31 at first I was really paying attention to the video

5:34 and then the song like was like it the song felt

5:37 passive but then the song is just so incredible that it slowly

5:42 started creeping and it kind of overtook the video and then

5:45 I stopped paying attention to the video and I was

5:49 in the song itself and it felt like the song was just

5:53 consuming me and I was like wait when did I get here?

5:56 How did the song even get here?

5:58 I don't know.

5:59 But holy[ __] I am absolutely shattered

6:03 by how overwhelmingly powerful this song is.

6:08 Wow.

6:08 Okay, I'm not going to be caught off guard this time.

6:11 I I want to watch that again.

6:30 The beat is so cool.

6:42 Quiet.

6:46 You don't feel all day.

7:00 I'll do.

7:05 Oh my god.

7:16 That one that one echoing strum is incredible.

7:27 Happyire.

7:41 Oh my god.

7:43 Out of control to go away my metronome.

7:53 I'm deep and shallow.

7:55 Deep and shallow here for me.

8:03 I'm here for you.

8:17 I can't.

8:31 Oh my god.

8:38 I'm going to cry.

8:39 Holy[ __] This song.

8:43 I'm deep in shadow.

8:45 Deep shadow.

8:56 Wow.

8:57 That song, when you really let that song just

9:02 sit with you and take over you, it is emotional.

9:06 It is so powerful.

9:08 It's so so powerful.

9:11 Especially the music video.

9:13 the music video, they do such a interesting great

9:16 job of like layering one scene to another and then

9:19 having another member replace that member in that scene

9:23 so that it feels like a story relay happening.

9:26 But it's basically them saving each other and them freeing each other.

9:31 Especially that especially the way they play with the framing

9:36 is really interesting of like they've got like the rope

9:40 outstretched and Solun is hanging on and it looks like

9:44 it's is trying to reach out to help someone as Hwan

9:48 is falling but then um but then Jin and Ba

9:53 grab each other as if they were representing Solun and Hwan

9:57 like the way they like they keep switching the actors

10:00 to switch the repres presentation I thought was really interesting.

10:03 Um, and then playing with like the camera work of when they're freeing Chiu,

10:08 how she I I forget who was in there.

10:11 I think it might be.

10:12 She pushes Chiu onto the bed,

10:15 but then the camera flips and rotates with it and then

10:18 it it's it then becomes instead of Chu falling into the bed,

10:23 it's her it's Chu floating and like being pushed up

10:26 into the sky and then she's like coming back down.

10:30 And I just thought like such majestic shots.

10:34 It felt like very much like a fairy tale type of music video

10:38 where a lot of things were kind of absurd and and a little

10:43 bit whimsical and magical and it's a little nonsensical yet at the same

10:48 time there is something linear kind of tying them all together.

10:52 Wow.

10:54 That's that's so powerful.

10:55 Wow.

10:55 Wow.

10:56 Wow.

10:57 Maybe the title track will be better.

10:59 Maybe.

11:00 Um, I know the title track will be good cuz it's Endmix,

11:03 but when it comes to their pre-releases, they've been killing it.

11:08 They've been killing it.

11:09 That That one almost brought me to tears.

11:12 Um, that's 10 out of 10.

11:14 Incredible.

11:15 Wow.

11:16 Uh, guys, I'm going to pass the question off to you.

11:20 What did you think of Enmix's Crescendo?

11:23 Crescendo is such an emotional and moving uh musical piece.

11:29 It it is so warm, so comforting, and I don't know,

11:35 there's just something so healing about a song like Crescendo.

11:40 Uh definitely not as uh definitely not as um uh I guess sad as spinning on it,

11:51 but just as sing just as singable.

11:54 Uh when I was at the Enmix concert, you know,

11:57 uh everyone was singing along to spin on it.

12:00 Like when I say sing along, it was a singalong.

12:04 And I think that's what Edmmeix also does really well

12:06 is like they make such great singalong type of music sometimes.

12:10 Even though it's not like as corny as an actual singalong song,

12:13 they just make music that makes you want to join them.

12:17 And I think Crescendo is definitely going to be another one where

12:21 people are going to be singing along with them in the concert.

12:25 That that chorus is really really powerful and so breathtaking.

12:30 Uh, that's gonna be another magical one for the concerts, I'm telling you.

12:34 Guys, uh, that's it for me and my reaction to Endmix's Crescendo.
