Final night time on The Tonight Present, the singing voices of KPop Demon Hunters carried out collectively for the primary time. Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami’s voices have been heard by tens of millions of individuals within the musical and its soundtrack, however apart from a short cameo on final weekend’s Saturday Evening Dwell, we hadn’t heard them carry out collectively exterior of the studio. Whereas I might have cherished for it to be on a stage that wasn’t in proximity to Jimmy “We don’t know what fascism is on this present” Fallon, listening to the voices of Huntr/x completely nail the anthemic “Golden” on stage was pleasant. What a victory lap.
The efficiency was set to footage from the film, together with each of the key scenes wherein the group sings “Golden” within the musical. It begins with footage from the music video premiere that debuts the tune to the general public, and ends with Huntr/x’s efficiency of the tune on the Idol Awards within the movie’s third act. Catch me feeling sentimental seeing this efficiency, because it echoes the film itself, wherein followers needed to look ahead to fairly a while to listen to Huntr/x carry out the tune reside due to all of the demon-hunting drama happening behind the scenes. But in addition, as many followers level out within the feedback, that is the primary time Ejae, the voice of lead singer Rumi, has carried out reside in a few years. She has primarily labored behind the scenes within the music business, and now she’s lastly attending to sing her #1 tune to an viewers of tens of millions.
Elsewhere within the present, Fallon revealed to the group that the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack has gone platinum, having offered a million copies within the U.S. alone. What a particular night time, and hopefully there are extra to return. It could be nice to listen to extra songs from the film down the road. I’m crossing my fingers for a efficiency of “What It Sounds Like” with a choir backing the ladies up.
