I kinda feel bad for wanting solo opportunities for Onew and then complaining when he got them. But just like his previous Station single, in my opinion his duet partners have a more limited voice/singing style and he's always the one who adjusts his own voice and doesn't show his rich tone and the depth of his range.
To be fair this is not as bad as the last Station song where he had to stoop so far so match his partner's child-like singing, but couldn't they have found another singer whose voice suits his more? Idk, was Luna or Wendy busy? Or just let him sing on his own and let the collab be with a producer/musician or something. Ah well, maybe it was his choice to sing like this, who knows lol.
I remember him covering Jason Mraz a few times so maybe he likes that? I'd love that type of music from him, pretty light but still with more variety and range than these last two Station songs. Apart from that... I vaguely recall mentions of trot, either jokingly or seriously I don't know lol.
It's not much different from the original song, but I still enjoyed it. The scenery...always jealous of not being in that type of environment. The beach was beautiful. I also loved the dancing scenes.
I kinda wonder why SM won't just let him sing by himself, but it could be his own choice. The good thing is it shows how versatile his voice can be, since he's matching his singing to the other person. I don't really have a good grasp on what his music taste is, so I can't be sure if he chose the song or SM did.
I mean it's lovely (Onew at 2:05 sounds especially wonderful) but I think my biggest issue is that he can do so much more than sweet songs like this and his previous station song. It would be great to hear something more powerful (idk if that's the right word), like that time when he covered It's Fortunate on radio was amazing.
