Jung Kook, 3D | Track Review 🎵

Handsome and talented K-Pop singer, Jung Kook, taps Jack Harlow for the assist on his second proper single, “3D.”

“Ican’t touch you through the phone / Or kiss you through the universe / In another time zone.” Facts, 🎙 Jung Kook, facts.  The good news is, you handsome, handsome man, you know how to drop stellar pop songs 💯. After getting us hot and bothered on his proper ‘debut’ single, 🎵 “Seven”, he follows up with another sexy bop, 🎵 “3D”. Assisted by 🏆 Grammy-nominated rapper 🎙 Jack Harlow, Jung Kook “just wanna see you like that…” How? “I wanna see it in motion, in 3D.” WOO!

“3D” isn’t deep but it’s fun. Produced by 🎛️ BloodPop® and David Stewart, “3D” features a sick, rhythmic groove. The sound of the record is reminiscent of 1990s and early 2000s pop/contemporary R&B, which is sweet.  Furthermore, the melody is rhythmic, also idiomatic of that era. In this minor key single, Jung Kook delivers a cool, sexy brand of vocals giving off flirty vibes (“But when there’s two dimensions / There’s only one I’m missin’”). Notably, the second verse separates itself from the first, changing up the melody, keeping things FRESH.  I love the ad-libs Kook delivers during the second iteration of the chorus. Harlow arrives in the third verse, asserting, “I’m on my Jung Kook, take a chick off one look,” complimenting his handsome collaborator, continuing, “And when they get took, they don’t ever get un-took.” WOO! Of course, being the f🤬🤬kboy he is, one girl isn’t sufficient: “Three girls, damn, dude’s horny / Four girls, okay, now you whorin’.” Harlow also leaves his stamp in the outro: “I got you playin’ with yourself on camera.” TMI! All in all, Jung Kook brings the heat on 🎵 “3D”. His solo project should be lit 🔥.
