Song Review:: Yoon Seobin: Rizz- Rizz

• Release date: 2024 October 07

• Album tracklist: Rizz, SQUARE

• Album runtime: 6 minutes

 Slow day today, so I'm going to use this time to grab a random review from October, namely this one. I've seen the music video floating around YouTube, so my level of familiarity isn't 0, but on a scale of 0-15, it's probably about a two. Enough that I was pretty sure the name on the comeback list matched the music video the algorithm had spit out at me, but literally nothing more than that. And looking him up, just for kicks and giggles, revealed a name I recognize in his list of co-stars. Cool.

That's a lovely, funky guitar accompanying one of my favorite things: audience participation snapping! And then it takes a little departure to let the electric guitar come out to play, and then the two things get to hang out together. But there's also an electric guitar grind that actually only shows once, even though the electric guitar is doing a lot of really fun things. The synth also plays around a lot within the instrumentals. It's actually a very interesting, playful sound.

This song sounds like a Taemin song. This song sounds exactly like a Taemin song. Yoon Seobin even sounds like him. This is deeply impressive. That's it. That's my only note. If you like Taemin, you'll like this guy.

I had to be very careful when searching for this music video. It's the problem with actors who sing as well as the name of this song. There may be any number of things that pop up. And he also put out a performance video for Rizz, which is cool. I'm calling it now. Yoon Seobin is going to be lethal in real life. I've seen ZEROBASEONE in person and there were two of them that surprised me from the absolute sheer charisma that they were rocking with, and I'd be willing to bet that Yoon Seobin is on their level. I'm also going to repeat what I just said. If you like Taemin, you'll like him. I'm also really impressed with the amount of choreography present in the music video. It could just be him lounging about, side-eyeing the camera and oozing raw charisma, but instead we get choreography. And the white sweater he wears as one of the costumes is about one strong breeze away from Marilyn Monroeing up over his head. There also isn't any sort of a storyline, but with a song like Rizz, a storyline isn't necessarily what you'd be coming for.
