Making a very hot comeback at the start of this week is Hyolyn with Dally. This is Hyolyn’s second comeback since leaving her former company, Starship Entertainment, after the disbandment of popular girl group Sistar. Dally is also the second part of her three-part Set Up Time project. The first being To Do List, which I haven’t written a review for. She also recently featured on GOT7’s pre-release track, One and Only You.
Dally, to me, seems plain. I felt like the instrumental was quite generic and doesn’t really give much impact to the song. While there was some build-up, it didn’t feel that captivating for me. Gray’s featuring raps did enhance the song from a standard hip-hop track to something with a little more energy. It just wasn’t enough, however, as the song returned to its initial vibes whenever Hyolyn returned. There was a changeup towards the end when they stripped the most of the song’s instrumental, which did give some nice contrast. What I did like the song were Hyolyn’s vocals. Somehow, she manages to fit into whatever genre song she is making a comeback with, which definitely proves how versatile her vocals are. I liked how raspy her voice is throughout the song and the ad-libs that featured were also nice touches. If only the instrumental was stronger and more interesting, I think I would have liked the song a lot more.
Hyolyn attracted attention for her teasers and will definitely attract some attention for her music video. I am not too fussed about the sets and her outfits, which all seemed fitting for the concept and song’s sound. If I didn’t know any better, it felt like a commercial for some urban or fitness wear. I want to focus more on the dancing, which dominated the video. Well, you don’t really need to focus too much to see what is going on. It is the reason why the video got a 19+ rating. There was a lot of butt action in her video, which felt bold and definitely took hold of your attention. There wasn’t much else to say about the performance, except for the very obvious statement that it was extremely sexy.
Song – 6.5/10
Music Video + Performance – 8/10
Overall Rating – 7/10
