What happens when Romeo is the title

Romeo is a person's name — one of the most often spoken names there is.

Put a person's name in a song title and the speaker's position is fixed automatically. Whoever sings a song called 'Romeo' isn't Romeo; they're the one calling him. The title is the other person, and the singer stands outside it.

So a title like this tells you one thing before you hear a note: there are at least two people in this song.

An introduction that joins purity to power

WeJiSu is introduced as a "pure-toned power rock vocal". Purity and power don't usually sit side by side.

A description like that generally means one of two things: both qualities really are present in one voice, or one of them alone wasn't enough to explain the singer, so the other got attached.

Which of the two is a matter for listening. But since 'rock vocal' comes last in the phrase, it's worth finding the passage where the voice pushes hardest.

When an actor enters a music video

Actor Shin Woo-bin appears in the video for this song.

An actor entering a music video gives the song a story. A video with only the singer shows you the song; a video with an actor builds one more scene outside it.

The title is already a person's name, so the direction fits. If the song has someone calling and someone being called, having two on screen is the natural arrangement.

Discovery note

Start with sound only. Decide, without pictures, whether this lands on the purity side or the power side.

Then watch the video. Whether the scene the actor builds changes the impression you just fixed is the thing to check.

Last, look at the title again. Heard from the position of the one calling Romeo, the same passage sounds different.

Just give it a listen, trust me.
