231016 Jung Kook – GOLDEN (Tracklist)

DJ Snake and Major Lazer!!!

I’ve recognised some biiig names. jk must be so happy to have worked with shawn mendes. i noticed two of the writers from dynamite but no one else.

I’m really interested if it will stay a pop/dance album like 3d and seven or if he will branch out more

My Decalcomania hopes dashed 😭

It’s ok, excited to hear what he’s been working on!

Major Lazer! Major Lazer!

Lots of Beibs adjacent people but some surprises like Shawn Mendes

Edit : please don’t change is interesting. DJ Snake ofc but Banx and Ranx who do a lot of dance hall music.

Edit edit: I already am seeing a lot of different thoughts but just to add mine in (fwiw)… Based on what Bang PD said in his Bloomberg video JK was considering not even releasing anything before Seven. As long as he’s feeling energized and interested in making music I’ll support him.

He might not be in a place where he wants to bare his soul like Jimin wanted to do and Jungkook doesn’t owe us that. I do think there will be something for everyone but I think it says something that he deleted decalcomania and has been politely saying that he doesn’t resonate with that right now. He’s been really clear about his path on this album since the beginning and I’m not surprised this is what he’s doing before he leaves.

Oh wow! Andrew Watt, Cirkut, David Stewart and Jon Bellion are all over this album. I guess that gives us a good idea of the sound we can expect, if the pre-releases didn’t let us know already. “Too sad to dance” reminds me of In the Seom sad Jimin dancing lol. I guess I’ll be most excited about the title track, since it’s literally *standing* out in this tracklist. This might be the hottest pop album to drop this year, so many seasoned veterans have a hand in it.

I’m just happy it’s actually 8 new songs! and not multiple versions of the same songs

I had already rationalised that a song sandwiched between Seven and 3D would have to be a banger. Diplo on production and Major Lazor feature. GIVE IT TO ME NOWWW

The title track is supposedly harder than the two singles so far??

Shot Glass of Tears… I am very intrigued 🤔

Jungkook knows what suits him, so I put my trust in him to deliver a great project. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed his output so far. I AM READY KING!

DJ Snake, Major Lazer! Diplo! Ed Sheeran! Wow, I’m excited to listen to all of it!

Praying for a piano ballad🙏

My music library remains JB free I win again

omg the fts…I feel this is going to be huge! curious to hear them all 👀❤️‍🔥

We know the kinds of music that JK enjoys so this lineup of writers/producers/collaborators makes total sense to me. I’m really excited that JK is continuing his foray into global pop-stardom. He said himself he wants to be a global star.

I’m really excited about some of the names I’m seeing and curious about those DJ collabs. What Steve Aoki did with Mic Drop was awesome, for example. So I’m never opposed to seeing a DJ collab.

I can’t believe some people are seeing titles like “shot glass of tears,” and “too sad to dance” and already jumping to the conclusion that the songs are going to totally lack meaning or depth. English language songs can have depth too.

Also, if he wants to sing in English, I’m all for it. I respect the hell out of the Korean songs, but as an English speaker I’m also really excited at the prospect of having so many songs from a BTS member that I’ll be able to understand on first listen without waiting for translations. That takes a LOT of effort from JK and I’m not going to complain and undercut his extra work like that.

Shot glass of Tears…so my usual Friday night.

Some VERY interesting titles in the track list, for sure 🤔 I’m especially interested in how “Shot Glass of Tears”, “Too Sad to Dance” and “Hate You” are gonna sound like (which probably speaks a lot about me bc I love “shaking ass while crying” and “sad in the club” kind of songs lol. Then maybe I’m being a clown and they’re gonna be more like slow emotional songs, which’s also promising.)

Loved that title track does not have a feature artist, no hate to having feature – was low key hoping that title track would be his solely.

Props to JK for being clear with his goals and working hard to achieve them! Having a complete album in English would have taken him out of his comfort zone.

I am sure this album is coming for lots of records and JK is going to rock it with his sincerity!

Let’s go ARMY!!

Soo much jungkook!!! What more can i ask for??? 😍😍😍

PTD was never my favorite song but Too Sad to Dance sounds like her evil stepsister, so I’m here for it!

I saw the snippet of Bang PD’s Bloomberg interview about Jungkook not planning to release an album anytime soon until people sent him these songs. I’m grateful we’re getting anything at all but I also have the same taste in music as JK so I know I’ll enjoy this album. He has already proven himself to be a great songwriter but given some circumstances that are out of their control, I’m sure everything feels really rushed. Good for him for taking his time! I think we can still look forward to him releasing more of his self-written songs once he’s ready

Dang, now this is one exciting, and intriguing tracklist. Super excited. Looking at those he chose to work with, the tracks very much give JK and his music taste. I for one have been loving the last two singles. They were both just pop excellence especially 3D and such an easy listen. The pop songs were doing what pop songs are supposed to do and there is nothing wrong with that. So I know he won’t disappoint.

(*copied from comment in different post*)

Wow, I am so interested by the names on this album – DJ Snake, Major Lazer, Shawn Mendes.

People always say that Wings was the best era, and that Blood Sweat and Tears was an iconic track that would’ve shaken the industry today. And here are the 3 major artists of that time period (2015-16).

Not just that, but arguably one of the biggest songs of all time (Shape of You, 2017) will also have its writer on this album as well.

I don’t have much to contribute other than to say that because JK’s solo music seems to be the most contentious of the releases so far (even here, which is usually the most accepting ARMY fandom space), please remember to take care of yourselves.

Whether you’re super hyped or not hyped at all, if the discourse on fandom spaces is legitimately bringing your mood down, I encourage just stepping away from fandom spaces for a while and just enjoy or not enjoy the release on your own. I’m not telling anyone that they can’t express their opinion (assuming it follows sub rules), but I think sometimes reading too much of the conversation, no matter what side you’re on, can be draining. I know it has been for me.

While it’s nice to engage with other fans, you also don’t actually have to (regardless of positive or more critical opinions). So again, if it’s all getting you down, disengaging for a while is okay.
