   G.Soul is that guy in a group of people who you know about and seems chill but is easy to forget about. If you talk to him, he is the coolest guy ever then you forget about him again as life goes on. This is how I feel about G.Soul's music career. The singer was with JYP Entertainment for seventeen years as a trainer. He then debuted under a sub label for the company. Here comes 2017 with G.soul deciding to leave JYP for another record label. Nice move considering G.Soul never came across as a singer that could be manufactured into a mindless idol singer to me. Being an artist that lets his music do all the talking seems to be more of his style. I put him in the category with other Korean artists such as Day6 because both artists didn't do much promotion when they were under JYP entertainment. (But Day6 is becoming a little too idol boyband for me lately.)

   Circles is G.Soul's 3rd mini album to date after a fresh start on Jay Park's new sub label, H1GHR MUSIC. G.Soul still is cranking out the RnB hits that relax any listener after a long day. He has not only continued to perfect his craft but he has also evolved from release to release. Circles presents a RnB core sound that supports a more pop electronic composition. There isn't a time while listening to Circles that I didn't think that the album wasn't produced in someone's urban basement. The tracklist comes off as an album that G.Soul did for himself without any restrictions. Can't was chosen to the the title track for the album which sounds like nothing that's out in South Korea right now. The production of the track uses various music edits on top of a RnB base beat. Not to mention the group melody in the chorus that slays my soul every time it graces my ears. Tequila became my favorite song right from the start. It was the first track on the album too. You listen to this track then suddenly, your body gets possessed by that club beat. Soon those hips feel the damn holy spirit as they start shaking all over the place… LET ME STOP! Anyway, Defiantly a hot track that's good for turning up.


   

    I'm a huge fan of G.Soul's vocals. One of his best traits is that he was a genuine passion for music. Through that passion he sings Song lyrics using an emotional method that causes listeners to relate to the story he is conveying. He's an RnB/Soul guy in every way of the word. I felt that shit when he came out with Love Me Again awhile ago. Thankfully, my Korean was good enough to understand the lyrics as well.





      G.soul will be an artist that will have a career of longevity if he plays his cards right. He really is a fantastic vocalist who deserves to get his name out there in South Korea. Just don't get too commercialized to the point that it effects your music. Stay mysterious and stay humble man.
