SOOBIN’s powerful vocal beautifully matches with the catchy melody to emphasize the theme of “BlackJack”, which attracts the audience by the very familiar music that they have to wonder where they listened to this melody. The music track is a perfect collab from SOOBIN, Binz and Touliver. Also, the song is mixed in the US with international standard quality to bring the best music experience to the audience.

SOOBIN and his team have invested a lot with not only expensive racing cars but sophisticated lighting, setups and angles to create artistic background scenes with a graphic image of extremely beautiful and overwhelming cards. Besides that, SOOBIN’s choreography impresses the audience. The MV also introduces the 12th member of SpaceSpeakers – Goku.

In particular, the MV “BlackJack” also has the appearance of other members from SpaceSpeakers: Rhymastic, Kien Ung, TinLe and Cuong Seven. This is not too strange because supporting team members when releasing new products has become a cultural characteristic of SpaceSpeakers.

Their performance on the stage from the Vietnam International Fashion Week 2020 was the first time they performed live in front of an audience and received a lot of positive comments.

Even so, there are still many different opinions that advise Soobin to return to ballad music – the music Soobin performs best. However, by only one song in his new style, we cannot surely evaluate if it is the right step in his musical career or not. Just wait and support his new projects in the future!
