Promotion

[edit]

Throughout late September and early October, various concept photos for the album and music video teasers were released through the band's social media.[2]

AB6IX had the album showcase on October 7 at Kyung Hee University in Seoul where they performed title track "Blind For Love" along with "Be There" and "Deep Inside".[3]

The group started promoting their title track "Blind For Love" on October 10. They first performed the lead single on Mnet's M Countdown, followed by performances on KBS' Music Bank, MBC's Show! Music Core and SBS' Inkigayo.

Critical reception

[edit]

Billboard's Jeff Benjamin called the single "Blind for Love" a second part to "Breathe" from B Complete, noting its "sleek house-inspired sound". He pointed out the variety of genres on the album, describing the songs "_And Me" and "Be There" as a "a blend of gentle pop and steely hip-hop", "Love Air" as featuring "tropical house vibes", "Pretty" as "staccato-piano pop", "Shadow" as having a "late-night EDM" sound and "Deep Inside" as containing "deep harmonies", while noting "D.R.E.A.M" is a "straightforward hip-hop cut" and closing track "Nothing Without You" a ballad.[1]
