Review
Okay, let's talk about PSY's 'PSY 9th' album. This bad boy dropped in April 2022 after PSY took a five-year breather from releasing albums. It's his first release under his own label, P Nation, which is pretty cool. He's got some killer collabs on this one too.
The album's got 12 tracks, and PSY's really showing off his range here. The lead single 'That That' features SUGA from BTS, and it's got this Latin vibe that's a bit different from PSY's usual stuff. It's super catchy though, and you can tell PSY and SUGA had a blast making it.
There's a bunch of other great tracks too. 'You Move Me' with Sung Si Kyung is classic PSY, mixing rap and singing. 'Sleepless' with HEIZE hits you in the feels, and 'Now' with Hwa Sa is a fresh take on an 80s song. PSY even teamed up with TABLO for 'forEVER', which took years to get just right. The whole album's got this mix of deep stuff and party jams that PSY's known for. He really put in the work on this one, getting feedback from other artists to make sure each song was perfect. It's cool to see him focusing on his Korean fans with this album too, kinda getting back to his roots after the whole 'Gangnam Style' thing. - Sienna
