Time permitting, I'll be reviewing every new BIG BANG track that will be released over the next week. Their first track of 2012 is Blue. Whereas they stormed 2011 with their awesome electro hit Tonight, they begin their Alive Mini Album campaign with a slower paced song.
Blue quite simply took my breath away. For a song which is so unassuming and subtle, it had quite an effect on me. The 5 members of BIG BANG all sound fantastic. There are no vocal gymnastics or crazy loud vocals. It's all very soft and subtle, and I love that about this song. Production wise, it definately has a soft and sombre feel to it. This matches the vocal delivery of each member. This song is an example of a song where you don't have to understand the lyrics for it to be able to provoke emotions in you.
The music video was also fantastic. I watched it a few times in a row because it was THAT good. It was shot so beautifully New York and had a cinematic feel to it. The blue tint to the video made it look a lot colder and emotional too. The 5 guys look awesome, I wish I could have their style (especially G-Dragon's!)
I'm really looking forward to the other 5 songs and videos! Knowing that they'll be promoting 6 songs during this comeback has me so excited for the upcoming week!
