g.o.d. - 길 (Gil) [Road] Kpop Song Review

Artist: g.o.d.
Title: 길 (Gil) [Road]
Album: Chapter 4: Road
Track: 2

Around 10 years ago, one of the most famous male groups in the Kpop music scene was g.o.d. They were known for their versatile singing style which can handle ballads, r&b songs, or even rap tracks and some dance beats.

When they released their fourth album, Chapter 4: Road, one of the songs that helped in making it into a multi-million selling one is 길.

About the Song:
While Gil is not a fast paced song, it's not really a ballad either, it's more of a groovy r&b feel to it. The song talks about the road that we take in life. It's about trying to find that certainty or assurance that one is actually passing through the right path or road.

Song Review:
I personally believe that this song is up there with the best songs of g.o.d. The pace of the song was great as it was able to deliver that feeling of uncertainty that the lyrics are trying to say. Despite the fact that the words of the song's verses are sung/spoken a tad quickly, the members were able to still sing clearly enough for the listener to clearly understand the words.

Recommendation:
This is one of the better slow songs that g.o.d. has sung. As mentioned earlier, this was one of the main driving forces for the success of their 4th album. I would also think that a listener would enjoy this song more if they understood the lyrics, or are actually going through a similar phase in their lives. So I would suggest non- Korean speakers to look for translations and read it, while listening to the song.

With that said though, even if you barely understand Korean, the song is still quite enjoyable as it is truly able to showcase how great the g.o.d. members are at singing.
