Song Review:: Changsub (BTOB): Feel the Groove

  • Release date: 2025 February 14

  • Album tracklist: Feel The Groove

  • Album runtime: 3 minutes

 Finally I can get to my cat's ult bias. Which is Changsub. In case you didn't catch that. He seriously loves this man's voice and I genuinely do not understand how my demon child who loves horror movies can love the balladeers of BTOB so much, but specifically Changsub. I asked T'Challa once if he would abandon me if he ever met Changsub and he screamed at me. I'm taking that as a yes, feral demon child that he is. So, congrats to Changsub for taming the wild beast. And sadly that's not a metaphor. T'Challa was feral when I got a hold of him and some days I think he'd like to ignore the last seven years and go back to that. After this review, I'll have to put this on for him. 

Oh, you're just going to casually throw around an organ? That's fine. Bring on the funk, Changsub. I'm reminded quite a lot of one of the tracks from Final Fantasy X with that organ. Do I remember which one? Not right now. It actually could be Final Fantasy X-2, but I'd definitely argue for FFX first. We've got a gloriously grounding bass guitar through much of the song, and especially underneath that organ, and I'd like it to be known that I was tapping my foot throughout the process of writing this. It's a good song to have choreography to, not that I know how much he'd put with it. But it deserves at least something.

And speaking of choreography, the song is well balanced to keep Changsub's voice at the forefront, as it should for a singer. When his voice is less prominent, the instrumentals aren't as thickly or boldly layered. When Changsub is being a little louder, the instrumentals follow suit. He's also got just such a distinct voice and this genre of song suits it quite well. I'm slightly more partial to rock from him, but funk works well too.

Look at that choreo! This is basically a performance video using concert footage, but I love it. He looks like he's having fun, which is all that matters.
