Epik High have a long history of notable collaborations, and many of their enduring classics feature vocals from some of K-pop’s most loved artists. But even with this in mind, I would’ve never expected them to pair with Seventeen’s Hoshi. When I see his name, I immediately picture exciting choreography. However, he proves an adept crooner during the chorus of Screen Time.
This song is quite typical of the slower, moodier side of Epik High’s discography. Several of their songs sound nearly identical in tone, making Screen Time a return that will likely please fans. I don’t think it’s one of their stronger efforts in this realm, as neither the beat nor melodies stand out. But as a calming salve to K-pop’s more aggressive moments, the track is quite welcome. They pull off this vibe very well.

I think Hoshi is one of the more underrated vocalists in SVT…I feel like on title tracks he tends to get the more explosive moments in the chorus because he’s front and center in the choreo. But as shown here he also has this lovely emotive quality to his voice that can be very soothing. I was quite impressed when he went on Lee Mujin Service a while ago.
