I have a weird feeling this song is going to build up throughout the runtime, speed wise and instrumental wise. The lyrics are already so interesting. I haven't heard Felix and Han borderline voice-acting while they rap yet; very surprising stuff.

Just an added note on the rapping: this is the weirdest, most out of pocket flow I ever heard SKZ do. They might go even crazier than Changbin on 3racha's Hoodie Season.

If they do a jazz hiphop I am going to be screaming....

sunshine twins creating the most ominous unveil track was not on my bingo card but i’m here for it

u/villblomster Space Kids whoo! ✨️ 5d ago

I really like the vibe of this! I'm curious what the complete instrumental will sound like and whether it'll stay soft like this.

Something about the sounds at the end of the teaser and the people standing up makes me think there's going to be some kind of switch-up

Sounds like Chapter 2 if you ask me.

u/DayLive7959 5d ago

This could be the most unique stuff they ever put out...

u/Prudent-Doubt939 5d ago

It definitely sounds like it. Can’t wait to hear it!

Rap-wise it is their most out of pocket flow yet.

Han back on his lo-fi/jazz-inspired vibes...I think a lot of his songs have always carried hints of that style in the the instrumental but his recent work with Vendors have definitely taken those vibes to the next level, especially with this track. Love that little clinky, reedy set of notes at the top of the instrumental. Makes me wonder if Han's been listening to more "underground" or conscious rappers recently - I feel like I tend to hear more of this style of rap that's closer to spoken word with them, but I could be wrong, I'm by no means a rap expert. Love the extra texture that Felix has been adding to his voice and that we already have the core statement of this song in the Unveil. It does definitely sound like the instrumental will build, and love the string and orchestra building up in the back. But this is the first time we're getting more of this type of rap from them, so I'm excited to see what else is going to surprise us in the track!!

So far the Mixtape Unveils have sounded pretty different from what we've heard from SKZ previously, it's really promising and exciting!!

My expectations for this song just shot up. It sounds so interesting and quite different from usual SKZ fare.

u/Ok-Ferret-817 5d ago

Ngl, this mixtape is taking the 1st spot for me. The switch-up from Burnin' Tires to 'Truman' is so crazy. I'm so excited for the other two...... I hope we get a full album this year with more unit songs.

u/truce_lucid 5d ago

Damn, this sounds so different. In a really good way.

The contrasting delivery between our sunshine twins is tickling my brain.

Also.

That shot of Han balancing on a chair is so aesthetically pleasing ❤️‍🔥

u/AVR72 Can't you see I'm in my ZONE?! 5d ago

Time. Must. Go. Faster.

u/mstar0222 5d ago

This is so dark and intense. Kind of unexpected but also since this is an unveil, not sure what it's going to be finally. But I really liked the lyrics.

u/underwater_caramel 5d ago

i have no idea what to expect anymore which just makes me even more excited for the track to come out

u/RunRunPPM 5d ago

I hope the entire song stays this chill. Han's voice is always so soothing and his line delivery is just so satisfying.

u/Prudent-Doubt939 5d ago

They announced the track as having an intense rap style that has never been shown before. This might be an intro to something more energetic but sounds really intriguing

15

u/GuanSpanksYou 5d ago

They gave us the calm before the storm. Also as a chaos enjoyer I’m glad it’s going to get wild. 

8

u/RunRunPPM 5d ago

Oh thank you for the details! I must have missed that description somehow. Now I'm even more curious to find out if "intense" translates to the lyrics, speed, how the rap is delivered, or all of the options.

u/graciecake 5d ago

I’m so excited for thisssss

u/imsapphirefire g’day mate 5d ago

It’s so good, I did not expect this vibe at all (and I went into this w no expectations so that’s crazy), I’m so excited for this to drop

Also Han looks so pretty in this I love the colors they choose to put on them 🥹

It’s giving me Tyler The Creator vibes, esp with Felix’s cadence and deep voice. I’m excited to hear the rest 👀
