I try to keep up with the releases but sometimes I fall behind. BLACK6IX’s latest comeback was actually released on Sunday that had just passed. Like A Flower is the group’s first comeback since their debut earlier in the year with Please.

The song itself is quite good. Like A Flower is an EDM based song that sounds very standard for the most part. However, the song seems to change up a bit when it comes to the chorus. You hear strings being plucked throughout the chorus which gives it an intriguing feel.. I am not exactly sure what the exact instrument is (since Asian countries have similar instruments) but it reminds me of an Asian zither. And by using that, it made the chorus quite ear-catching. The vocals are quite good but at times, it felt like there was little to no energy behind them. I think that was the only thing in the entire song that could have been enhanced. But what stood out the most, to me, were the rappers. It was dynamic and added a level of intensity to the song. However, I do feel that a rougher and intense song could have given an even better platform for the raps to shine even brighter. While I didn’t actually sit down and review their debut song, there is clearly potential behind the group given the releases of both songs.

The music video could have been better on so many levels. The entire video was slowed down a notch and it didn’t match with the music. It was painfully obvious. Not sure if it was an editing issue but I am sure they could have done better. Some of the members couldn’t lip sync properly and it too didn’t fare well. But besides those details, the rest of the video managed to pair well with the song. The dark and tough vibes you can hear throughout the song were displayed nicely throughout the video, such as the lighting and haziness caused by the smoke.

Have they had a comeback stage yet? I tried searching for one but can’t seem to find one. From what I can see in the music video, the dance is good. There were a few moves that I liked, such as the ‘Flower’ move (seen it before but it still looks cool).  It doesn’t really feel impressive though, which made it feel less captivating.
