Moonbyul has confirmed to be one of the vital prolific Mamamoo members, releasing a number of singles throughout every of the previous few years. This music has coated a considerable amount of floor, making her solo profession fairly unpredictable. That chameleon-like high quality continues on Goodbyes And Unhappy Eyes. Judging merely from its title, you’d count on some mopey ballad. As an alternative, we’ve bought an influence rocker.
This style makes a number of sense for Moonbyul. Her charisma typically has a pure toughness to it, which works effectively because the driving power for a rock tune. However as this sound has grow to be increasingly common in Okay-pop, it takes a really particular tune to face out. Goodbyes And Unhappy Eyes may be very stable, but looks like one thing we’ve heard earlier than. I swear, its refrain is similar to different songs inside this soundscape. I can’t fairly put my finger on what it jogs my memory of, however its opening traces actually cowl acquainted floor.
The remainder of Goodbyes And Unhappy Eyes feels extra like connective tissue — melodies that fill area however don’t elicit a lot spark on their very own. The tune’s instrumental is extra profitable, bounding ahead with crunchy guitar riffs and buckets stuffed with power. This is sufficient to make Goodbyes And Unhappy Eyes a fairly enjoyable pay attention, even when it’s a really generic iteration of this style.
