In a three-star review of SEVENTEEN’s latest album ‘Happy Burstday’, Gladys Yeo wrote for NME: “‘Happy Burstday’ might not be SEVENTEEN’s most cohesive release, but it succeeds at showcasing the group’s transformation over the last 10 years. The record’s focus on solo songs exposes each member’s strengths and weaknesses when they stand alone, but its group tracks are a self-assured testament to their chemistry and magnetism as a whole.” The post SEVENTEEN’s S.Coups and Mingyu form new sub-unit CxM appeared first on NME.
