Yong JunHyung - 'Flower'

On the topic of Beast this week, let's talk about their rapper Yong JunHyung's first solo release 'Flower'.

After hearing Beast's last mini album which was written and produced by JunHyung there was no denying he is a talented far beyond his years.  So needless to say I was expecting a whole lot from his solo activities, and I was not disappointed.

To be honest the first time I heard Flower it wasn't what I expected, but after listening to it a few times I had it on repeat and I was in love.  The mellow, smooth tones on this track and of course his rapping are so cool.  I also like the concept of this girl being like a flower and he's addicted to her and her scent.  Even when the flower withers and the scent becomes faint he's still attracted to her.

"Flowers are gone, but I still love you baby, I love you baby.  Flowers are gone, but you’re in me, you’re in me baby, you’re in my heart baby".

The MV was super cool too.  I love the bodiless scenes with the flowers, it was pretty weird in a really cool way.  The MV still had a masculine feel even with the quirks and the flowers, the whole thing was completely JunHyung.

I think JunHyung as an artist is underrated, hopefully this mini album will show just how talented he is.  I mean, how many 23 year olds are writing and producing their own music of this quality?  I like the way this guy's mind works and I am loving everything about this track from the music to the performance.

First Yang YoSeob's solo in 2012, now JunHyung is taking a turn and killing it - proving just how talented the members of Beast are.  Please make more music, sooner rather than later please!
