Music Overview: Lee Sungyeol (Infinite) – Asteroid

Sadly, it’s been a very long time since I’ve been excited about any Infinite-related music. When you would have proven me that assertion a decade in the past I might’ve been shocked, however their newer materials simply hasn’t lived as much as the potential we all know they’ve. Nonetheless, as a longtime fan I nonetheless really feel loyal to the members and that loyalty  calls for that I give Lee Sungyeol’s new solo monitor Asteroid (소행성) a brief write-up.

Of all of the members, Sungyeol is the one I’d least anticipate to listen to solo music from. His components in Infinite songs are sometimes restricted, so it’s good to listen to him stretch himself right here. The efficiency is stronger and extra highly effective than I’d imagined, although there’s clearly a whole lot of studio polish being added to the combo. The music itself is — sadly — fairly uninteresting. Earnest midtempos like this have a tendency to float in a single ear and out the opposite until the music does one thing sudden or novel. I can predict Asteroid‘s each transfer earlier than it occurs, which results in a rote pay attention. It’s a music that doesn’t really want to exist, however you could possibly say that about a whole lot of unambitious solo tracks.
