Actual French rap in ‘French Kissing’? AND2BLE fans praise the vocals—and debate the chorus

A few French words for atmosphere? Some listeners expected just that. Instead, fans were surprised at how much French Ricky actually delivered. Then the conversation turned to a familiar debate: voice, chorus and choreography.

AND2BLE released their second mini-album, ‘Sequence 02: Attraction,’ at 6 p.m. KST on October 27, 2026. The title track ‘French Kissing’ takes a tropical R&B direction, with LDN Noise among its producers. The music-video premiere link shared by fans is embedded below.

The conversation went beyond the comeback announcement: listeners were impressed by full French phrases rather than stray words, singled out the vocal parts of Yujin, Gyuvin, Seungeon and Hao, and debated whether the chorus choreography suited the song.

Four response patterns are visible in public r/and2ble and r/kpop discussions. (1) Surprise that Ricky delivers actual French sentences, not just scattered words; (2) praise for strong notes and the members’ varied vocal colors; (3) reservations about the repeated ‘French Kissing’ phrase and some arm-focused chorus moves; and (4) comparisons with debut track ‘Curious,’ with preferences going both ways. These are observed comments on specific international forums, not a survey of all Korean fans.

The group’s May release, ‘Sequence 01: Curiosity,’ foregrounded curiosity; its follow-up explores attraction. Some listeners hear a more mature R&B identity, while others miss the earlier release’s more colorful feel—a taste difference rather than an objective verdict.

Verified: the album and title track were scheduled for release on October 27, 2026, and advance reporting credited choreographer Nick Joseph. The YouTube URL is the premiere link shared in a contemporaneous fan thread. Full video playback and YouTube comments were not independently inspected, so specific shots are not described as firsthand observations.

The next test is live performance: the October 27 showcase and subsequent music shows may reveal how the celebrated vocal passages and debated chorus moves work onstage. Actual live outcomes require separate verification.
