ALL THE POSSIBILITIES

All The Possibilities was revealed a month earlier than the rest of the album at TWS’s most recent fancon, leading many fans (myself included) to assume that it would be promoted as an official pre-release. That never happened, though I wouldn’t be surprised if the song eventually received a music video during this album campaign. It certainly sounds like the kind of track you’d want to promote.

Compared to title track You, You‘s ebullient electro-house sound, All The Possibilities offers a drowsier take on dance music. I’ll always prefer “ebullient” over “drowsy,” so I’m glad Pledis threw their weight behind You, You. However, this is another great showcase for TWS’s slowly maturing sound. The vocals (especially Youngjae) sound incredible on All The Possibilities and the song’s measured pace allows them to unfold with full spotlight.

Atmospheric blips and bloops frame a gentle dance beat that gains momentum as we near the chorus. The vocal melody flits and flutters upward, adding a nuanced touch to what might otherwise be a simple pop track. My favorite elements — which stood out especially on headphones — are the chunky bass guitar and wispy backing vocals during the chorus. Overall, this is a great, laidback summer groove that will likely play well in the long run. I do wish the energy was a bit more explosive, though.

  1. This works really well paired with all the “Plot Twist”s, “hey, hey”s, “overdrive”s, etc. when listening to their discography.

    The bass has that nice Seinfeld pluck, their vocals are really nice, and they’ve got some great atmospheric production supporting the more laid back groove. I’d say it still has great energy despite being a vibe style of their typical sound.

    Giving this one a 8,9,9,8 = 8.5

  2. This feels like a good bridge between their previous works into this mini-album, and as such works really well as the intro track! Love the bounciness of it.
