Probably not the most safe for work video. Hyolyn and her former group (Sistar) have always sort of been known for their sexy concepts, though.

I may have said this before, but Hyolyn might be my favorite Asian pop vocalist, which is kind of saying a lot because there are a lot of great and unique voices out there. I think her voice definitely is most fitting over R&B-styled beats, although I don't think she showcases her voice as much on this track compared to "To Do List" or her feature on "One and Only You" by Got7, which I think I've shared earlier in this thread, but that's not to say she doesn't sound good here.

She's doing something pretty unique too, which is that she is the CEO/founder of her own company/label after her (and her group's) contracted ended. She does have the benefit of having been successful with Sistar and being known for having one of the best, if not the best, voices in K-Pop, so it's not like she's starting off as an unknown. However, it's still tough given that K-Pop pretty much revolves around the big 3 companies (SM, YG, JYP) and everyone else trying to just get a small piece of the pie.
