RIIZE - "Impossible" MV Review

Photo source: SM Ent.

"Impossible" is a pre-release (or "prologue song") for Riize's upcoming first mini-album RIIZING.

This song is also their 5th single after "Memories" (Pre-Debut), "Get A Guitar" (Review), "Talk Saxy" (Review) and "Love 119" (Review).

Riize continues as 6 because their member Seunghan is not on this single (or mini-album) as he is still on hiatus.

"Impossible" Review

I will put a hand on my heart and just tell the truth: When I first heard the teasers for "Impossible" I thought that I was going to hate this song so badly that it would become Riize's first miss (for me), but I have to say that the full release left me pleasantly surprised.

The ~vibes~ of this song -although they sound nothing alike- remind me of a faster-paced cousin of Shinee's "View" (which I love).

My favorite part of the song is the pre-chorus (see: 1:00 and 2:01) I love it. That part lowkey reminds me of Rihanna's "Don't Stop the Music" when she sings: "I wanna take you away~".

The choreography looks really hard to the point that -I- felt tired after watching this MV. I don't wanna imagine how tiring is for the Riize members.

My favorite part of the MV is the shots of Sohee and Eunseok outside an old building at 1:52. The editing throughout the MV was very well done.

Style-wise, there was nothing that caught my attention in a positive or negative way, so I will just omit talking about it.
