Fly To The Sky – KPOPREVIEWED

Fly To The Sky is back with a brand new song. They made their long awaited comeback/regrouping last year and this year they are back to make everyone cry over their ballads. They have been doing a lot of solo work in between comebacks. This mini album has not been promoted as much this time around, as I believe they have some sort of concert going on at the moment. And yes, I am churning reviews out very slowly. October is going to be an extra slow month, so don’t expect too much. I should be back into full gear around November. This also is my fourth year!!! Woo!! Thank you so much!!!!

Both songs are amazing. I cannot express that in any other way. I don’t think I have really enjoyed much of Fly To The Sky’s comebacks in the past, but this time around they came back with a song that really shows off their talents. Their vocals and their harmony have been used so well in the song. Both songs just sounded so similar to me. Hahaha… I get confused pretty easily when I listen to the songs. If you like a much slower song that builds up towards the end, then It Happens To Be That Way is the song for you. More of an orchestra sound (in a way) then If I Have To Hate You would be the right song. I also found the latter song to come on stronger and faster compared to the first song. Come to the think of it now, the songs are quite different, but they blend well with each other. Their ad-libs are amazing in both songs are superb. If I were to choose an absolutely favourite, If I Have To Hate You did the job just fine.

The music videos are to be viewed together. It Happens To Be That Way is filmed from the perspective of the boyfriend, while If I Have To Hate You is filmed in the perspective of the “to be bride”. OMG, why did she hold onto that guy for? Scum bag guy ditched you while you were dating when he saw his ex. Shouldn’t that be some sign of lack of loyalty? The music videos are quite confusing and I am currently trying to figure out which video comes first. It seems like If I Have To Hate You should be viewed first, as it shows the “bride to be” falling in love for the boyfriend. And then It Happens To Be That Way shows the boyfriend ditch his fiance for his ex. Another question: the two ended off badly, so who invited the ex to the wedding? I hardly doubt he invited her, so that leads to the bride who used to work alongside her, but it would be rather stupid of her to invite the ex right? The bride was just to desperate to “put a ring on it”. Hahaha.. Amazing, well written videos (minus a few minor details). But the feelings and emotions from the video matched the song quite well. The acting was amazing, though it did look awkward the ex girlfriends part in some scenes.

Overall, amazing songs and videos. What more can you ask for?

It Happens To Be That Way – 9.5/10

If I Have To Hate You – 9.5/10

RnB duo, Fly To The Sky, has finally made their official comeback with a brand new album after 5 absence from the scene. Now that they are back, they have proved themselves to be very popular, with their songs topping charts since the very day they released their album and earning themselves two wins on the weekly music shows. They returned with what they do best, with a new RnB song and new album. This time they have vowed that they would not break up again, which they did a few years ago due to different taste in music. Not only that, but it seems like the old groups back when I was born (prior to 2000) will be making their comeback and proving to be quite popular.

To be honest, this song did not have much of an effect on me. I am not a fan of the band. I think their songs are okay, but I just don’t think their songs are that great. This song just reinforced the same idea. I did not find the song to be that great when I listen to it. It is not bad, it just lacks change. Maybe I am not good of a listener, but I find the thing was quite monotone throughout the start to end. I am a fan of Brian Joo. The vocals were really strong, which is what they are known for in the industry. I just found this song quite boring overall to listen to. Hwanhee’s high note at the end are quite good. The started the song off well, and ended the song quite well as well The song itself talks about how the guy was meant to live without his love of his life.

The music video was quite interesting. I liked the story line of the whole thing. So we see Brian Joo and Hwanhee with this girl. Brian is going out with her, while Hwanhee has a crush and also is the third-wheel of the couple. He is so jealous and immature (hence a line of the song) and also quite selfish, decides to involve the couple in an accident. The girl is saved with amnesia and I think some brain damage to make her think she is like a teenager. Anyway, so Hwanhee and the girl end up dating whie Brian was in a coma. However, good things only last so long. The girl starts to have flashbacks of the car accident, which Hwanhee fears the worst. At the same time though, Hwahee receives a call from the hospital that brain had awoken from his coma and also another call from Brian telling him that their friendship is over and that he will be taking everything back that Hwanhee took from him (ie. the girl). We see as Brian wakes up he notices a ring in his hand and realized what had happened and went ot find the girl, to which Hwanhee gets angry when he sees the ring. When Hwanhee returns after attending to Brian, the girls remembers everything and then slaps Hwanhee and dumps him. Hwanhee, who cannot live without her, leaves after her butt hen Brian appears. The guys have a very big fight, to which the girl just stands there and screams. In the end the girl chooses to stay with Brian, to which Hwanhee knows that it is too late and starts to leave, but then gets run over by a car killing him (?), which shocks both the girl and Brian. In the end, it is revealed that Hwanhee regrets everything that he had done. I think I gave the story in a lot of detail. Hahaha… But really good story line. The music video was well shot and really well done.

Song was not so great. Music video was pretty cool. I’d give it a 6/10.
