But as a whole routine, it looks sleek and neat.News & Rumors Releases Teasers Performances Variety Discussions Filter by Flair It focuses on that mature side of the song that I pointed out earlier. They do not look like they have been around for 13 years whatsoever. Also, HIGHLIGHT looks amazingly stunning throughout this video. I did like how the sets were largely simple in this video, with the focus just being on the members and whatever was to be destroyed in the set.
It is just the members are completely infatuated with their partner, that even a small absence can lead to disastrous outcomes.
Based on the lyrics, I don’t think the members have broken up with their partners. Visually, we see the world around the members come literally crashing down or breaking apart, which is largely caused by the absence of their partner. Nothing more, nothing less.’.Īlone depicts the darker side of falling in love, which is an interesting topic to approach. Overall, I think my thoughts from the DAYDREAM review stands for Alone – ‘… sounds like your typical dance track. I liked it when the members went with low tones and this subsequently brought forth husky and raspy vocals from some of the members. On a more positive note, Alone does display a solid set of vocals from the four members. We do get a rap-speak like motif from Doojoon in the second verse, but it just wasn’t enough to scratch that craving. But I feel after two releases with no substantial rap sequences, it is time we reintroduce the element back into their repertoire, just so Alone is more dynamic. I know former member Junhyung’s departure was a big blow for the group at the time, and I appreciate that HIGHLIGHT has not forced any of themselves to fill in the shoes of main rapper that Junhyung’s absence has created. A suggestion I kept on thinking about whilst listening to Alone is that the song could have benefited from a more hard-hitting and full-fledged rap sequence. I was also quite disappointed when Alone just looped it back to the same initial chorus in its final moments, instead of a final hurrah to close out the song. It was a massive missed opportunity, in my opinion, for the melody to not really develop and concentrate. Instead, it just stuck to a neutral drive for majority of the song, which ultimately dried up Alone‘s appeal. There could have been so much more potential to the song had Alone became more dynamic as it progresses, just so the song can be even more riveting and ear-catching. The key part in that sentence is the ‘to a degree’, however. This isn’t anything new in this day and age ( Alone checks many of the boxes of such releases, such as heavy bass, funky guitar work etc.), but I do still find Alone alluring to a degree. More particularly, the mature side of those roots. HIGHLIGHT goes down the funky and groovy roots of KPOP with this new release. This comeback follows the group’s comeback with their the single DAYDREAM and fourth studio album of the same name. HIGHLIGHT, the 13-year-old quartet (formerly known as BEAST/B2ST), returned on 7 November 2022 with the new single Alone and their fourth mini-album After Sunset. And I kick things off with a review for a comeback from last week. As mentioned yesterday, I am back on on the reviewing train starting from today.
