SJM Henry Lau - Trap [All Versions]

Hello Everyone!!!

Sorry for not updating in a long time, even when saying i will update soon xD But anyways, there has been so many song releases from the last time i posted till now and i dont know where to start. So i figured might as well start with Super Junior - M's own Henry Lau!!! And his first Solo Artist track Trap.

So, Henry is a member of Super Junior - M, but real ELFs consider him as a Super Junior family member ^_^ Same with Zhou Mi too! Anyways, a little background on Henry. Henry Lau is Chinese-Canadian. His mother is from Taiwan and his Father is from Hong Kong (or vis-vera i get the parents confused), meaning Henry knows Basic Mandarin (of course getting better after promoting in China and Taiwan alot) and basic Cantonese. Along side of that, he was born in Canada!! Specifically Toronto, and thus meaning he knows an is fluent in English, and being born and raised in Canada, Canadian schools tend to teach French, so he also knows a little French! Anyways, the list of languages can go on, trust me it does; but lets focus more on Henry's debut. Henry entered into a SM Competition when he was in his Senior year of High School, and to his surprised he won the competition! He competed with his Violin and Dancing routine, which ultimatly led him to winning, his mother didnt believe it, so Lee Soo Man had him and his mother fly to Korea and well from then on he became a Trainee of SM!

Another side note, Henry started to play the Violin when he was 4 years old and he started to learn to play the piano when he was 5. His mother sort of made him do both as he grew up, he originally did not want to, until the age of 10 when he won a competition xD From then he enjoyed them more. He also thought that just playing the Violin was not that entertaining, so he decided to learn how to dance from a friend, thus incorporating how to dance while playing the violin. He also became interested in singing as well, so he also had a friend teach him how to sing. Overall, he learned how to sing, dance, play the piano, and violin....and well he is great at all of them! He really is an artistic genius!

Henry's first appearance was during Super Junior's Dont Don, during their 2nd Full Album. Henry was featured as the Violinist is featured in the middle of the song. However, due to back lash of many of the Only13 ELFs they were afraid that another member would be added to Super Junior so they boycotted SM and bought alot of stocks from them, therefore SM could not have added Henry to Super Junior, thus making the Chinese Sub-Group Super Junior-M adding Member Zhou Mi along, since Zhou Mi is also as talented and is Chinese! Therefore Zhou Mi and Henry are Super Junior M members, although it looks like today many fans go for all Super Junior 15 members, but still there are still many people who do not except Zhou Mi and Henry sadly :( But at least Zhou Mi and Henry are still strong and are performing more during Super Show ^_^ [Actually i am hoping for Zhou Mi to either also go Solo or to star in more Dramas!!!!]

So back to the present Henry. After 13 years, SM releases a solo artists, and it is no other than Super Junior's Henry Lau!!! Henry being as talented as he is, can definitly become solo and still be part of Super Junior, alot of his talented was only shown to the Chinese, being hidden in the real Kpop world, and Korean fans. So finally he gets to shine and show off his talent!

Henry made a comeback with his Mini-Album Trap. The mini-album consists of 6 tracks, 3 of which were composed by him and his composing team NoizeBank (1-4-3, My Everything, Ready 2 Love). However, i herd he and NoizeBank had written over 10 songs, but took the best 3 to be featured in his Mini-Album.

So the title song of the album is called Trap it features Super Junior's own Kyuhyun and SHINee's Taemin. The opening of the song has a beautiful piano piece that was composed by Henry himself, and as the song progresses Henry goes from playing the piano to standing and dancing ontop of the Piano, to jumping back to the ground singing and dancing, having Taemin coming in, and then more singing and dancing for the two of them, and then Kyuhyun comes in with his high-low note singing, and then all three of them dance and sing, and then they bring out and toss around handkerchiefs and they throw them and dance more and then Taemin and Kyuhyun bow while Henry goes back playing the piano and it ends xD I guess that is one way to describe the MV and dance to the song...

Well, my reaction (finally!!!) i think Trap is a great song, it is addicting and fun to listen too, it is not too complex while not being too simple. I love the in cooperation of the Piano, it makes it sound even better. If i had to rate the song i would give it a 5/5 stars. Also, i applaud Henry for being able to release the song in 3 different languages, i mean most groups do no even do that...i mean then again he is a Super Junior member, where Super Junior is able to release a song in Korea, Chinese, and Japanese, but Henry released the song in Korea, Chinese, and English!! (ENGLISH!!!) It's simply amazing, but i think that since the Korean version was released first may like the Korean version more. However, i have to say, i usually like the first version better, but i actually like all versions, they all sound great, and i am really happy that this song was released by Henry. ^_^ Thank You!!!

Now the dance, personally, i thought it was amazing on how the dance was really trying to demonstrate the trap feeling, however, some parts were a bit awkward, or at least i think. Because, well i did think it was cool on how he dances on the piano and then jumps to the ground and dances, and he matches alot of the moves to the meaning of the song, great, loved it. But just the handkerchief part, like i found it cool how a prop was incorporated, and how skilled they are with it, but i just don't get how i plays into the song. But hey, the dance it still great, i wold give the dance a 4/5.

The MV, all i can say is Bravo SM, Bravo. You are improving on your Box Sets! xD Like at least he is not in a full box, this set has a sky in it!!! and a door!!! and a Piano!!! and a Couch!!! and a bird Cage!!! It has stuff!!!! Lol all i can say is now fans can not complain about box sets, because really it wasnt a full box! Also, Henry even looked awesome driving that red Ferrari down the freeway, he looked awesome! And i can defiantly say that was not in a box...i mean unless it was a really big box or really good green screen, but i assure you, from the BTS footage it is no box xD Let's just say i really liked it and SM is improving on their MVs ^_^ MV rating = 5/5

My overall rating for Henry's first Solo Mini-Album would be a 9/10  because i love all the songs, the MV was great, Kyuhyun (<3 My first Bias xD)) and Taemin were great, the dance was pretty good, overall i liked alot of it, and Henry deserves a high score! ^_^ 1-4-3 Henry ^_^
