I’m not searching for brand new Infinite music with the ferocity I as soon as was, so I didn’t even notice it’s been such a very long time since chief Kim Sung Kyu launched a brand new album. It’s been nearly three years, and final month’s pre-release Over It re-introduced his rock facet beneath new label Billions. That sound doesn’t proceed on title monitor Once I Suppose About You (널 떠올리면), which casts him as a sentimental balladeer.

This is among the tracks on the brand new album that reunites Sung Kyu with Nell frontman/producer Jongwan, who has crafted his finest solo work up up to now. To me, they’re a match made in heaven and that symbiosis salvages the in any other case boring Once I Suppose About You. Sung Kyu’s voice matches completely over Jongwan’s melodies, lending the monitor a hyper-emotional, pleading high quality. It’s really a case of the singer making the music.

With that stated, I’m not impressed with this music. The manufacturing’s means too muted, the melodies are means too reptitive and the monitor simply doesn’t go anyplace. It’s uncommon for such a powerful collaboration to end in such a uninteresting music, however I battle to imagine Sung Kyu couldn’t provide you with one thing higher than this. It’s at all times good to listen to his voice. There are significantly better locations to listen to it.
