Hello again! So much content has come out! like what do you mean xiao zhan’s birthday was only a couple weeks ago. October has been packed! and it’s still going! I love it here!
What did you think of the ep? It was such a joy getting to listen to xiao zhan’s voice in these different styles. and you can really tell like what makes up the essence of his voice, if that makes sense. Ive always thought of xiao zhan’s voice as light and airy, there’s a buoyancy to it ykwim? so when he approaches these different styles, it’s so cool to hear how he’s able to keep his own style of singing while still commanding these different genres. and the music video!! It was so fun and very fitting of the theme for the whole ep. he always gives us so many gifts on his birthday🥹
do you have a favorite song? is there a line from a song you really liked? A phrase he sang in a way that you loved? Hope you have been doing well! 💛
omg hi lovely! it's been a minute, how are you! i hope you've been well 💛
oh my god october has genuinely felt unreal. everyday there's something new dropping, if not MULTIPLE things! between the concert, birthday photoshoot, ep, new project, and all the ambassadorship things in between, i haven't been able to catch my breath, and i'm just a viewer! how does xz do it 😭
anon, you write so beautifully :') it feels wrong that you're asking me questions and not the other way around, because i love how you word your thoughts! i completely agree with and understand what you're saying in regards to his voice. to me, i've always thought his voice is crisp, clear, precise. everything feels so purposeful. i ADORED this ep, dare i say, maybe even more than the first? the first is so beautiful and honest and will forever hold such a special place in my heart, as do all firstborns, but this one is so bold and explorative! we know he likes to experiment based on the wide range of scripts he picks up, and of course that would carry over into his vocal work too! and while we have seen that he doesn't only enjoy slow songs and enjoys a quicker beat (the ICONIC bamboo in the rock performance, for one), i'm so happy that he was able to try something so different this time around! something jazzy, a little seductive, with so much depth.
eee the mv! oh, it was so fun! so glitzy and glittery, with all the glamour! i love that he made a return to dancing, too. as a dancer myself, i always appreciate good choreography, and you can tell he put in so much effort! i always love watching mvs because it's so fun to take a peek into his creative vision. director xiao zhan, when? and i can't talk about the mv and NOT talk about that cozy knit & glasses look. xiao zhan, who on your team is keeping tabs on us 😭 how did you know that would do me over 😭
my favourite song is, by far, What's Distant Isn't Love! maybe it's because of my love of kpop, but it's just so energetic and upbeat and FUN! it feels hopeful and it makes me feel alive (which is so ironic, when you compare the melody and beat with the lyrics sldkfj). coincidentally, my favourite lyrics are also from this song. specifically the chorus, but more specifically, "As long as you leave a light on for me, I have the courage to act out this one-person show." i've noticed that xz is really fond of this concept, of someone keeping a light on for him. he included it in his first ep, and he's including it again now. it's so him – so soft, a quiet love but a sure one, a steadfast pillar you can lean on and know will support you always. it's just so sweet and true :')
as for the phrase i liked best, 10000% 2:15 in Out Of Place. /that/ specific hum. yes. i agree.
how about you! what did you like best! did any lyric stick out to you? 💛
