Nonstop, I'll keep an eye on you, my promise
Nonstop staring, I don't know how to be me
Remember the miracle that we were"

Aww, that little song that could! Not only did
RoaD-B’s (previously known as BXK)
Nonstop manage to get in the rate without being Boy Boosted, it also did considerably well and landed in the Top 20, outlasting many other more established groups. Such is the power of legendary producer duo Sweetune! Yup, this was produced by them, but I have absolutely no idea how that came to pass. Where did they even find these boys? How did the company pull it off, considering the complete and utter lack of budget or any presence for this group? Anyway,
@Attis (10) speaks for a vocal section of this subforum’s users:
“Sweetune comeback, we cheered!”
@Slice of Life (8) stans but not that much:
“not as good as Icarus, please be honest with yourselves girlies!! it’s not bad though!!” Well, I guess they were since Icarus is still in! Let’s celebrate that. I think Nonstop is a better song but Icarus actually sounds like it was sent to be mixed fffff This was a common complaint from other voters:
@chrisjche (7.5) also mentions it
“This is super catchy and has some fun production, but the way it's mixed makes it a bit muddled.”, and so does
@enjoy (5):
“This feels a bit muted like it is a demo. I can see the potential but alas it leaves a lot to be desired.” Some of you mentioned the likely-financial reasons for the dubious mixing:
@Untouchable Ace (9.5) says
“this song deserves a better budget to fulfill the tune.” and
@KimLippington (10) estimates the amount:
“$5 and a dream never sounded so good” It really is such a well crafted song, every bit of melody contributes and builds to something, it all feels very purposeful and satisfying.
@boom bazooka joe (5.5) says:
“It sounds like very generic gay club music. Like it's giving background music at Babylon.” Girl… Every now and then you have such weird opinions in these rates. I’m cracking up cause what kind of gay club plays anything that sounds like this?
@Ana Raquel (9) on the other hand is always ready to embrace a retro-bop:
“Nice discovery! I don't think I've heard it before.” @askew (10) is probably disappointed but not surprised:
“This should win.”
@Wills (10) hits the nail on the head:
“Nothing about this song or group makes any sense whatsoever in the '20s Kpop landscape. Thank fuck!” Well, yes, I’m glad someone is still doing this sound against all odds, it’s one I really enjoy, but I can’t help but feel kinda sad because let’s be honest… this group is destined to disband sooner rather than later. These songs are 100% not trendy, and they don’t have the money to force feed it to the public, and it doesn’t sound like the kind of stuff that could catch on with TikTok either. Maybe a sped up version? dddd I don’t want to end this on too negative a note, so let me just say I was quite pleased to hear their 100% live vocals on the one (1) stage I could find!
