The East Light makes their second comeback of the year with Love Flutters. They last promoted on stage with Real Men, which was an amazing step up from their previous works (I have grown to like the song a lot more). That was also the first time I reviewed them on this site, so I thought it would be nice to revisit them. Love Flutters is the title track off their second mini-album, which shares the same name.
While I don’t think I would ever get used to their vocals, they managed to do a decent job with Love Flutters. The song takes on a more tropical route with sounds and vibes that gets you into the heart of Summer. Furthermore, it is a return to their original sound (something that I wasn’t a major fan of). Love Flutters manage to do a few things right with this song. The explosive percussion bangs (not really sure what to call them) really do attract your attention to the song and it is quite unique. Their vocals work well with the tropical sound. I particularly like the instrumental sequences at (after the first chorus and at the very end of the song) as they do a good job at portraying the Summer season within a few seconds of instrumentation. While I am not 100% hooked onto the song, I have a feeling that this song will have multiple appearances in the future (particularly when I yearn for the Summer months when I am struggling in the cold).
I thought the video was okay. It isn’t exactly the most exciting video out there nor is it content heavy. However, it does a decent job of portraying the song and its Summery vibes. Not exactly sure why they are holding onto the fruits, which did leave me a little confused. The best part of the video overall was the nodding and head turning at those explosive bags during the song. How else would you have that part?!
