Hey hey we are back and this
time with Lee Hi’s second part of her album “Seoulite”. The album has a total
of six songs which are My Star, 희망고문 (Blues), 스쳐 간다 (Passing By), 밤샘 (Up All Night Feat. Tablo), 안봐도 비디오 (Video Feat. Bobby) and Missing You.
I am already excited for my
gurl here and the amount of songs she has put out so far in this album is mind-blowing…
just wanted to put that out before I get into the review.
Let us begin
the review with the first song which is “My Star” which is retro jazz trumpeting
number that sings about finding the one. The song has some of the cutest yet
simplistic and realistic lyrics I have listened to so far. The song revisits
the genre of the past years and rekindles its magic, which is only resonates in
multitude with Lee Hi’s voice.
The music
video features One and the two are such a cute couple I love the kiss they
share towards the end of the music video…
ssssssssssswwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeetttttttttttttt. The music video does not shy
away from colour and eighties outfit, plus it looks really good on Lee Hi so no
complains. The music video is a must watch!
“Blues” brings
you up to the present with its breezy blues tones and chilling vocals. This song
is slow paced but it really gives you a fresh take on Lee Hi’s voice as it
literally echoes off of the melody and penetrates. “Blues” sings about meaning
to let go of one another and moving on, as much as heart-breaking as it sounds,
Lee Hi makes sure it is melodious to sound as well. There is sort piece of her
singing in English in this song and that pretty much sums up the theme of this
song. “Blues” makes for an easy listen and an instant favourite.
When “Passing
by” started I knew it was going to be one of my favourites out of their album
and it was because of its basic blues/rock blend. The song has a haunting feel
to it and stays with you long after the song ends. “Passing by” is a classic
song that shows Lee Hi at her best.
“Up all night” starts of
sounding like an OST for an Anime. The song features Tablo and I was curious to
know how the two would work around this song. I love the piano accompaniment in
this song as it gives this song the much needed delicate like feel and mood.
This song is about missing about that special someone and tired of playing the
waiting game. Tablo comes up and spews up some English verses which I was
thankful for and his voice is as spooky as the essence of this song. But I like
and it makes for an interesting listen, another easy favourite. I recommend
this song.
“Video” features Bobby! That
just means it is going to be epic… “Video” is a song about walking away from
the significant other and later regretting it. Lee Hi is basically tired of
playing the games of love, while Bobby comes in and does his own spin of
Passenger’s ”Let her go”. But nonetheless, the song pack a punch of its own and
the two voices really complement one another effortlessly, like it was magic.
And finally we have “Missing
you” which is an overflow of emotions and feels. Just as the title of the song
suggest, Lee Hi sings about missing the special someone and she just keeps
hitting the high notes and goes full throttle with her voice that there is no
turning back for us listeners. A solid song that just like the others mimics
the music of the yesteryears but reinterprets it with Lee Hi’s solid vocals.
