Mr. Blue (from Fever Season – 2019)

We’re firmly in GFriend’s brief tropical phase with Mr. Blue. The group didn’t follow trends often, but the whole Fever Season album felt more like a concession than a breath of fresh air. That said, this is definitely one of the stronger songs on it. It’s probably not title track worthy, but I like its upbeat stomp and dramatic strings. Parts remind me of Hear The Wind Sing, even if the arrangement never scales similar heights. It needs a stronger chorus because the melodies feel like they’re playing second fiddle to the production.

Grade: B
