Song Review: Eunhyuk (Super Junior) – Blue Sky – The Bias List // K-Pop Reviews & Discussion

If I’m being honest, this new song by Super Junior’s Eunhyuk nearly passed me by. After a certain number of years, I tend to lose track of solo work from members of more established groups. Often, these songs are too safe and dull to warrant much attention. But in a pleasant turn of events, Blue Sky bucks expectations by going down a dancier route.

When I think of Eunhyuk’s solo material, my mind instantly turns to badass hip-hop grooves he can dance to. After all, he was one of K-pop’s earliest performance experts. Blue Sky is much smoother and more melodic, opting for a euphoric dance sound that fits him surprisingly well. The chorus has a satisfying sense of lift. The hook is simple and streamlined, but very effective. I’m less enthused by the second verse switch up (you know I hate when dance music loses its momentum!), but Blue Sky rights itself quickly enough and ends on a high. The song doesn’t reinvent the wheel in any way, but it’s an enjoyable rush of energy that works much better than expected.

Most definitely agree with the rating. Would’ve gotten an 8.5 or 8.75 if it wasn’t for the odd breakdown in the 2nd verse. Still a very nice surprise to start your morning though 🌄🙂

Its quite pleasant with enough groove to bop, just missed that big inspiring moment of catharsis. A powerful rap with faster cadence or an explosive outro could do the song wonders but alas…..

Songs like these remind us that back when, even the Rapper and Main Dancer had to be able to sing. As for the 2nd verse breakdown, he doubtless has some dance moves planned for that. (goes away … comes back …) It seems the second verse / break is more to remind people that he is a rapper to jazz it up a bit. Yeah, its OK (shrug).

Here is another gem from Eunhyuk from a few years back. I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time, but it is a song that I do return to often, because of the lovely melody and light lilting falsetto. It is a song to his younger self.
