Amidst inflood of comeback of idol groups and new artistes debuting, Hwayobi’s new single is doing well for her first day online sales (see below). There seems to be a new stream of fans who are hooked with Yobi’s R&B catchy tunes. Although, I was anticipating her return with mid- temp songs, but I realized that I was not ready for her full album to be fully filled with  such songs. After listening to the full album, these words kept ringing in my head, “Why Why Why” *just like the chorus in “Bye Bye Bye”. There”s a tinge of disappointment realizing that she has really transformed her music leaving behind her soulful R&B ballad presence for this album. I guessed I missed listening to her belting out her lushest voice.

For an artiste of her calibre, her vocal prowess is beyond what this album has to offer. My take on this album, she can do better. Way better. Her God- given talents and capabilities are way beyond what Kpop ent. has to offer now. I was anticipating for a SPECIAL album when it was mentioned that this album will showcase the  “TRUE HWAYOBI”. To me or  maybe other fans, we remember “TRUE HWAYOBI” as an artiste who awe us with her vocal, with her lushest smoothest and richest vocal that penetrates our soul. That’s the “TRUE HWAYOBI” that I missed. I guessed, I’ve yet to know the “TRUE HWAYOBI. There’s still lots to learn about our dear lady. However, as her fan I am proud that she is dedicated and passionate in producing this album with her own creations. I am still in awe of her vocal flexibility that varies from one song to another without losing the essence of her rich vocal. I still believe that she has lots more to offer. What’s next Yobi ssi ?  We’ll still be waiting. I hope our patience will prevail. Fighting !

Congrats Yobi ssi…”Bye Bye Bye” is scaling high
