[Album Review] TELEPARTY (2nd Single Album) – BSS (SEVENTEEN)

5 hours ago 5

With the second half of 2025 upon us, it is about time that I make a start on the albums released this year. First up is SEVENTEEN’s BSS and their 2nd single album, TELEPARTY. It was released in January 2025, alongside the title track CBZ (Prime Time). This album release follows their massive hit, Fighting, which was featured on the single album SECOND WIND. More on the songs featured on TELEPARTY below.

And don’t worry about the 2024 albums that have yet to be reviewed. I will still be reviewing them as I work my way through the 2025 albums, so don’t worry about it.

1. CBZ (Prime Time) (청바지) – Click here for CBZ (Prime Time)’s full review. (9/10)

2. Happy Alone – Happy Alone was an instant favourite of mine. I really like how those opening synths really popped out from the instrumentation. The New Jack Swing instrumentation was super cool, while the groovy undertones kept the vibe alive in the verses. BSS’ vocals were superb, and I enjoyed how straightforward the melodies were. (10/10)

3. Love Song (사랑 노래) – This single album ends with the R&B number Love Song. I really liked the nostalgia that this number invokes, as it takes me back to the late 90s and early 00s. It also portrays BSS in a more serious and contemplative light. The vocals are exceptionally nice, while the piano has a striking quality that contributes to the nostalgic R&B sound. (8/10)
