The Great VIXX

 

I start to believe that Vixx is an unexpected, unpredictable and full of wonderful surprises group. Those thoughts came to my mind when I saw their new mv 'G.R.8.U.' and also while listening their new repackaged album 'Jekyl'.

Lately Vixx had a more dark and mysterious concept and I thought that their follow up song will continue this side of them. Well I was wrong. Vixx returned with a romantic but fun concept at the same time making all the Starlights even happier with their return. Although this isn't a new concept for Vixx ( remember 'Superhero' and 'Rock Your Body' ) I find 'G.R.8.U' to be more mature than those previous songs. Don't get me wrong 'Superhero' and 'Rock Your Body' were both fun to watch and listen, filled with cute and funky choreography. 'G.R.8.U.' on the other side has this up-lifting and romantic vibe that makes your heart flutter from the seconds you press the play button. Great comeback if you ask me.

So, if 'Hyde' was their dark side then with 'Jekyl' Vixx shows their happier side which you can clearly see in their mv. The greatest thing about the mv is the rewind technique they used to film it. With that in mind we see how Vixx messed up a whole room. The boys managed to turn a room, upside - down in a just few seconds, and that makes me think that if you ever feel down you now know to which boy group you can reffer to if you wanna feel better. And I mean it. You can do anything you want as Vixx does. Choose from playing football, basketball, tennis or darts, riding a bicycle, throwing roses and toilet papers, jumping from a piano, doing cartwheels, destroying books or even smashing a television with a baseball bat. Seriously those are some of the things you can do in that room so it's all for your own good. Apart from the funny side, the boys are very good looking with their summer and white outfits. N's red hait looks very bright in this mv as the other boys as well. There isn't much to say about the dance because Vixx is really good at it. The 'knee' and the 'slide while pointing' movements highlights the choreography. Plus their repackaged album 'Jekyl' includes the it-makes-you-wanna-dance 'What to do' song, which Ken wrote it.

Starlights show how great Vixx is to you by pressing the play button.

 

Vixx can't control themselves

It seems to me that Vixx has joined the dark side - think about their previous song 'On and On' and now 'Hyde' - and it feels like they have found their comfort zone. I mean these dark concepts seem to fit them really well, not that I didn't like 'Rock Your Body', so guys keep up the good work!

Releasing their 1st mini album 'Hyde' Vixx didn't disappoint Starlights at all! From the jacket photos to the title track, Vixx has become a more manly group showing their awesome singing and dancing skills. 'Hyde' is a powerful, dance song with a mystery sound and some addictive parts like the 'Just can't control, just can't control'. So if you search for a dramatic song with an addictive beat for your playlist, 'Hyde' is what you are looking for.

The mv couldn't fit the song any better. The scenes are filled with reptiles like snakes and spiders, skulls and some other creatures that I'm not a fun of. In the mv we see the boys having two personalities, a bad and an evil, and they trying to not show their evil side to the girl they want. No matter how hard they try though in the end they become demons and as a result they can't control their actions any more. I like that Vixx manages to look sexy and confident even though they had to do weird expressions like yell, bite or scream. That shows that Vixx owns the villain concept too. 

Now to my favorite part : The choreography! I must say that Vixx knows what to do and how to do it. They capture you from the beginning when Ravi introduces Vixx and the everyone falls down and we see Leo singing with trembling hands. Also afterwards when Ken dances with Hongbin and N. This is what I like more in their dance routine, that they don't dance the song as a group but they split or dancing in small groups. That makes both the song and the dance more intense. Also this time the 'Just can't control' part and the finale are a masterpiece.

Their mini album contains five songs with 'Love Letter' being the only ballad and 'Light Me Up' stealing the show. If you are a fan of Girls' Day then you should listen to 'You Are Mine' which features Minah.

So Starlights will you join Vixx to the dark side?
