Song Review:: Yesung (Super Junior): It's Complicated- It's Complicated

  •  Release date: 2024 November 05

  • Album tracklist: It's Complicated, There She Goes Again, Easy, Beautiful Paradox, Curtain

  • Album runtime: 16 minutes

 So, I find it kind of cute, actually, that Yesung had a comeback on their 19th anniversary. Happy 19th! Happy 6th Mini Album! And the average song length is more than three minutes.

This is the second ballad-esque release from a soloist in a group today, but the two are not the same. There's a sense of showy drama to this one that also takes advantage of my exhaustion and lulls me into wanting to sleep to it, despite the fierce energy that is pulsing even from the start of the song. How does that work? Not a clue. But it's weirdly soothing. 

Not a huge fan of his tone at the beginning of the song, even though he reminds me of a lower version of Taemin (and also a little bit of JYP the dude), but when he lets his voice loose, it clarifies into something amazing. I don't care how many voices I hear for these. I'm still in awe when I run into great ones, and I really enjoy his. It wouldn't surprise me if this ends up in one of my road trip playlists where I actively look forward to singing at the absolute top of my lungs. A lot of musicals end up in the one, for example. His voice and the expert skill with which it is wielded fit right in.

This music video actually feels like it's for an OST for something. It's beautiful. It's powerful. The message is great. But as much as I like it, I'm not in love with it. I'm sure that others will disagree with me, and that's great. The comments under the music video indicate as much, but it's not something I personally need to enjoy the song. I've seen it. I enjoyed it. But I'm content with that.
