By Nefertiti Jenkins
by Nefertiti Jenkins The fifth track on  Villain's first mini album is soul piercing, mesmerizing and beautiful. When you hear "A Piece Of Work" on the new "Bank Robber" EP, it will move you. The mostly hip-hop album dropped with an official music video for title track "Manitto," on August 1st with Planetarium Records. A second visual display of Villain's falsetto vocal range was uploaded days later, on August 3rd, as a live performance of "A Piece Of Work." Unlike other tracks on the album, which include lyrics in English and Korean, "A Piece Of Work" is a ballad and is almost entirely in Korean. According to translated subtitles of the Behind The Scenes video for "Bank Robber," the artist says the song is about having been in love with someone for a long time, without others (or that person) knowing. Even the scribbles on the wall are starting to fade too. I didn't erase it. The time passes by too much....
