In terms of a general, depressing winter song, “One Sip” is the representative song on The Winter’s Tale. Given how cute the MV for this song is - and how bubbly the song sounds - you’re going to smile. This happiness feeling reflects the lyrics pretty well Although the singer isn’t quite happy himself, he is emphatically imploring his ex to be happy and smile. There is also a bit of disco funk moving through the song. It falls squarely in the realm of a Christmas track with the sound, and also fits in with the colder-weather tracks with the slightly sad lyrics.Ī combination of classic Christmas and pop instrumentals, the song has the happy feeling. Members Ilhoon and Hyunsik participated in the creation of the song (both lyrics and composition) along with another track, “Drink!” Overall, they did a decent job with the song. “You Can’t Cry” a.k.a “The Winter’s Tale” is the title track. If I have one complaint it’s this: Where is Peniel? While the rest of the mini has more of him, he’s basically nonexistent in “You Can Cry.” Such a shame, but at least they make up for it on other songs. Additionally, the harmonies in the chorus add a real nice effect. There are slight lifts in the vocals that make it sound more light-hearted.
Perhaps the song is meant to be more sympathetic to the plight of others, and less wallowing in self-pity. Feelings of sadness, jealousy and anger are all on display.Ĭontrary to the lyrics, the song doesn’t even sound that sad – especially if you pair it with the MV. “You Can Cry” is about the dread one faces when Christmas rolls around and, once again, they are spending it alone. He also contributed to the lyrics, so it’s nice to see that the guy is getting some more attention.Īre you alone during the holidays? Well, BtoB says “You Can Cry.” The song was pre-released as a single – I guess to tell you to cry simply so they can tell you stop later. Granted, he’s the token English-speaking/singing member, so they’ll always turn to him for such things, but Peniel has more than one of two lines like usual. He appears to be acting as the narrator of the entire project – and in English no less. Basically, this album is BtoB showing their non-“loud” side.Īdditionally, it feels like Cube Entertainment may have heard the complaints about Peniel’s lack of presence. It’s not a new sound - given how the group debuted with “Insane” and “Imagine” - but, it is a bit difficult to erase from your mind their latest tracks and compare.
It’s winter, so this of course makes sense.
Though other groups released their quintessential holiday tune, BtoB decided to release an entire mini-album devoted to the season, The Winter’s Tale.įor the most part, BtoB trades in their more vigorous tunes for a more relaxed and smooth sound. Christmas may have come and gone, but winter is sticking around for awhile.
