This is BAP's new single, Coffee Shop. It's a slow, pop and rap genre with a jazz-like feel, incorporating all the components of a coffee shop aura.
The first time I saw the teaser for this song I was amazed. This is definitely something BAP is not familiar doing, although they have done slow songs.
This song is filled with vast and detailed emotions of a man that longs for his girlfriend. The members sing and rap about coming to a coffee shop daily--the coffee shop that was the main focus of his memories with a girlfriend. Time passes, but they still reminisce about the girl, never forgetting her scent. It's as if the coffee shop has trapped her scent and lured in the boys to this shop. The strong coffee smell forces them to remember the girl's aura and the bittersweet times they encountered.
The lyrics were very emotional, and the MV setting supported this song greatly. The setting portrays the man going on in his daily life, thinking of the girl and the coffee shop. Usually when one enters a coffee shop, they enter a warm and fragrant place, where memories are created.
I'm surprised that Himchan and Jongup got a lot more lines! And they are legit lines, not just one or two English words! Daehyun's voice wasn't high-pitched or distinct from the others (if it were, this song would be ruined). It was soft, emotional, and dreamy.... Younjae's voice fit perfectly in this song. His soft, light voice didn't cause any distractions. I wonder how Youngguk and Zelo's rap would fit in the song, but their rap was light, yet very powerful. Zelo even sang!
This is definitely different from their Warrior and powerful boys concept, but this just shows how BAP is truly talented and can take on any genre. They are truly outstanding rookies.
