If not, please go watch “The Chaser” music video, it will probably be enough of an explanation. What is it about INFINITE that I find, personally, so uplifting? It’s hard to put into words, but I wanted to try, so if you’re interested, please bear with me. On the 10th anniversary of their debut on Jwith “Come Back Again,” I couldn’t resist the urge of writing something about how this fandom name, this verb, has come to mean something truly special to me.Īccording to Merriam-Webster, the word “inspirit” simply means “to fill with spirit.” Synonyms include words like “encourage,” “hearten,” and “embolden.” These are all feelings that my love of INFINITE has encompassed over the years, even though that flame of love that once burned so passionately now sits nestled in my heart like an ember steadily, only flaring occasionally in moments of intense emotion. It's going to be that extra kick that will take Infinite to the next level.When it comes to K-pop, I have a lot of love for fandom names and have self-identified by many over the years, but when it comes down to it I don’t think I’ve ever felt more of a connection than the one I have with INFINITE’s fandom, Inspirit. It will be great to hear (and see) this group start pushing the envelop and experiment with different arrangements and musical genres. "Inspirit" is subtle, catchy, and well produced. And they have surprisingly pulled it all off without a question. There's a particular elasticity within INFINITE that allows them to hit several types of songs without ever fully stepping beyond the boundaries of their comfort zone.
INSPIRIT KPOP FULL
INFINITE's latest album is full to the brim of optimism and sweet sounds that fit perfectly, not only with the season, but to this rookie group's individuality. The arrangement allows for Infinite to shine vocally, as well as to showcase that they have it in them to take on different styles without losing their identity as a pop group. This version of "Can You Smile" is very soothing and makes a stronger statement than the original. The closing song on this album is a remake of " Can You Smile." The original made its debut on "Evolution" as a fast and shimmering tune, while the track on "Inspirit" lowers the blinds and momentum for a semi-acoustic rendition. Perhaps an up tempo R&B song full of stomping beats a la Ne-Yo " Cause I Said So" would do I'm positive INFINITE could pull something of that caliber off, and it would be the perfect segue for a maturing style in their music. "Shot" alone is an average song, and there isn't anything grand to revel in, so it would have been a treat to hear INFINITE tackle something a little more daring.
Was it a risky move? Maybe, but there's still enough of a difference for both songs to sit side by side without giving this very short album a sense of redundancy.
" Shot" features the exact same beat of "Nothing's Over", one that may have already reoccurred in one or two of their previous songs.
INFINITE's producers have more or less figured out all of the right ingredients to whip up the perfect songs for them. Much like the lead single, the other two songs on "Inspirit" are calm, tame, and as airy as ever. "Nothing's Over" stays conservatively leveled throughout the full three minutes, repeating the title's catchy hook over and over, but it does a good job of shaking things up at the second verse with a quick dose of rap and a subtle change in instrumentation to match. Produced by composer Han Jae Ho and lyricist Kim Seung Soo, "Nothing's Over" marries major scales with INFINITE's recognizable melodies to bring together a calming experience that becomes reminiscent of their 2010 single, " She's Back", as it begins to unfold past the first chorus. INFINITE's current single, " Nothing's Over," stays true to their modest style. It's something that normally presents itself as an alarming challenge for rookie groups, but for INFINITE, it couldn't be any easier. The two albums have their distinct concepts and tones, but INFINITE's musical style remains vivid in both. It took maybe one month for INFINITE to churn out their follow-up singles album, " Inspirit." It was a speedy comeback, seeing as they had released " Evolution" earlier this year, but that's just how things happen to roll around here.
