Trap is the first solo album from Super Junior M’s Henry Lau. This release features six songs altogether.
The title track, “Trap” is an electronic dance song that has been well received among K-pop listeners, especially since Super Junior’s Kyuhyun and Shinee’s Taemin are guest singers on the song. The track opens with some beautiful piano played by Henry. Aside from being catchy to listen to, the song also has a fun video, since Henry gets to demonstrate his smooth dance moves and great singing.
The dance songs “1-4-3 (I Love You),” “Ready 2 Love” and “Holiday” were written by Henry’s music production team, Noize Bank. All three songs are enjoyable, with fun beats that will make you want to dance.
The R&B track “My Everything” is a great and intriguing showcase for Henry’s singing skills. It’s a beautiful song, with Henry rapping and singing in different ways.
The English language ballad “I Would” is the album’s highlight. Despite a simple melody and a minimal musical arrangement, Henry’s sincere and emotional singing is pleasant to listen to over and over again.
Trap is a great effort for Henry’s first solo step. Henry and Noize Bank have created lots of fresh sounds that will make listeners want to hear more of their work. This release is a great choice for those who collect K-pop CDs. For fans who only want some of the tracks, each of the songs can be legally downloaded individually. — SC
