Wheesung - Night and Day
When I first heard this song I fell in love with it; Wheesung's vocals are always on point and a few of his old songs are very dear to my heart for personal reasons so his voice has always been somewhat of a comfort to me. Beyond that though, the song is beautiful and powerful and melodically very well done, despite relying heavily on the vocals. There were a few times when I felt that his long notes were kind of weird, like out of place or a little over done, but after listening to it many more times I've grown used to them and they don't bother me as much. As for the lyrics of the song, they are absolutely beautiful. Certain lines really stick out to me at the moment, such as "there's nothing that's not needed of you, what I want is everything you got, for your love I want to know alot, for your love I want to learn the world more only for you," and "thanks for being you," etc. and the message of the song in general is to me very touching. I feel like the song is referring to a love interest that is no longer physically around, and is talking about how they will still love them forever, in life or in death. The line "the day where the sun is high up, the night moon is up" to me means that there is still light shining (or love burning) no matter the time of day (or span of a lifetime) and it will shine as brightly as it does in the day. Even if this isn't an accurate analysis of the song, the message is still very sweet and Wheesung does a good job of pulling it off. As for the music video, I think CAP looks reaalllyy hot and Yura is gorgeous and they both do a really good job. I noticed that during the lines such as "for your love I want to learn alot," Yura's character is walking away or driving away from CAP, and once the chorus comes, "I love you 24 hours," he starts to go after her. To me, it's like he is realizing that though she is gone from his life, he will still love her always.
Anyway, to sum up I am super impressed by Wheesung's song and absolutely love it.
So for starters, I'm not a Hyosung fan at all. It's not that I hate her with a passion or anything, but I just honestly don't like her all that much. So when I heard she was having a solo, I wasn't very excited or anything. As far as the music video goes, it's not extremely provocative or anything too scandalous, and I honestly do like the dance, but I just feel like there's nothing really there. It's all very shallow and generic sexy solo. Nothing stands out or is impressive or too great about it; it's just average. The song's lyrics are basic, and the video is your standard sexy concept. There's even a scene where she's just standing there looking behind her shoulder with her butt stuck out and I just don't understand why. The song itself is rather catchy after hearing it a couple times, but it's still nothing special. Basically, I wasn't wow-ed by her song but I'm not going to lie, I don't hate it completely.
BTL - Too-G
I wasn't expecting much from this group but I was surprised at how much I like this song; they have pretty impressive vocals and the musical surprises are intriguing and unique. It is kind of your typical strong boy band concept but I really like it. The music video wasn't all that well done...I kind of cringed at the very obvious green screen scenes, and the rest of it was not anything special or interesting, but for me the song is what does it and kept me watching until the end. I think this is a really well made song despite the dance and video being slightly lacking. All in all I am impressed and hope they continue to do well.
Mr. Mr. - Big Man
I'm a huge fan of Mr Mr's songs usually, and this one is no exception. Their vocals are always really great, and their songs do a good job of showing them off and the fact that they can sing pretty high notes. I've said this before but it takes a whole lot for me to like a music video, so I wasn't really a fan of this one. I don't really understand the Pinnochio reference or the yoyo, and the effects were not very appealing, so it was kind of boring to me. I felt kind of like I was missing something; I was really confused the whole video and I don't really understand what "Big Man" exactly means...I thought maybe it had something to do with the Pinnochio's nose? but that doesn't make much sense. I've given up trying to figure it out. I do like the song a lot and the dance is alright too. I wish they would have a really great concept, so they would stand out to people, because honestly their songs are great and they are extremely talented, but again and again they are overlooked, especially after the whole Mr. Mr. drama with snsd. I'm hoping they can make a name for themselves on their own.
Junggigo feat. Beenzino - Want U
Junggigo's voice is somewhat addictive and I love that it's unique but also soft and smooth. I was excited for this song because it has Beenzino in it to be honest and his rap is really great as usual, but the whole song is honestly pretty nice. It has a good sound; it's cute and honestly just a good song. I mean, it's not amazing or anything, but it's really nice and I can see myself listening to it a lot. I was pretty impressed. The video was kind of boring but the dance parts were pretty interesting. I wish Beenzino had appeared but oh well. Anyway Junggigo is starting to impress me more and more, since his song with Soyu I've been interested and I'm glad he came back again with this song. Looking forward to more of his stuff. He's talented and I like his sound, so all in all I'm content with this song.
