I love 'Hello' too. Like you said, it feels melancholy, but doesn't take it into a negative space, which is something she does exceptionally well. Her music, even when she tackles sad emotions lyrically or melodically, feels uplifting. I wouldn't really compare their solo songs to their group songs simply because I feel the alchemy of their group is fundamentally different, so personally I wouldn't compare this to 'Wind Flower', but I can understand what you love about this song. If you enjoy the way she expressed emotion in this song, you may enjoy her Solar Gamsung series. It is a project where she reinterprets classic/legendary songs in her own style. There are 8 parts, the most recent was just released. I would also look at her OSTs because she often taps into her ability to emote for those songs as well. However, if you have limited time, and want to get to know her musically, I would focus on her mini-album COLOURS. It is the most concise way to experience the versatility of her voice. Even if it isn't comprehensive in including everything she can do, it is a great primer
Thank you so much for your suggestions and for sharing your opinion! I’m very curious to listen to COLOURS, especially since you mentioned that Solar really plays with her voice in this mini album. She’s truly amazing, with a powerful yet sweet and calming voice. I’m sure I won’t be disappointed!
@@queenshipkpop Happy to. I will say, you will probably be shocked at the first song for COLOURS, but know that all 6 songs are different genres, and it is best to view the mini-album holistically. The 6th song 'Blues' is definitely not to be missed.
This song is one of the reasons why Solar is my favorite singer in the world. There is a live performance that is really good, you should watch it, she sounds perfect in that video. Solar can make you feel any emotion. Her Solar Gamsung project causes most people to at least get on the verge of crying, Her OST Exit for the show Escape of the Seven, she will make you feel anger, despair, she is so good with making you feel emotion it is almost a superpower. This is one of my favorite songs.
Nice. Hello is also my favorite solo song from the 4 Seasons project and it's from my favorite MMM EP, Blue;S. Had a new idea about my longtime off the wall theory about Hello. I've always interpreted the song as Solar imagining what it would be like to greet North Koreans after reunification but I never understood the line "Monday night at 2:30." While watching the lyric video with you I suddenly thought that perhaps the song originated in a dream that was so vivid it woke her up at that time. The obvious way to read the lyrics is that it's about a relationship with a long lost friend or lover but imo some of the lines don't really fit with that interpretation. I think my theory accounts for things like the fragmented memories and explains why "I pray for us." If you watch the lyric video again see whether you think I might be right. Solar has never explained Hello or almost any MMM song or MV for that matter. She tends to give only the most basic and obvious info when asked about MMM or solo songs. I think they prefer to leave it up to us to interpret their songs for ourselves. When I shared my theory another moomoo suggested that maybe Hello doesn't have an MV because the subject of reunification was too much of a political hot potato and RBW didn't want to risk making it explicit. Solar and her pole dance teacher choreographed a partner pole dance for Hello and moomoos consider the video as a substitute for an MV. It's a gorgeous performance that can only be described as poetry in motion. The video is a bit hard to find on Solar's yt channel so here's a link: ruclips.net/video/Ypevh3p0cs4/видео.html The must-see live performance of Hello is from Solar's solo set during Mamamoo's 4 Seasons F/W concert tour in 2019. She started her solo set with a cover of Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On and had the brass balls to follow it with her own self-composed song. Hello more than held its own. Yes, moomoos scream and sing along but that only adds fuel to her performance. Here's a link to a pro quality vid with Eng subs when she speaks to the audience: ruclips.net/video/JiLLL441iqE/видео.html
Your theory may be correct! Also considering the cover of My Heart Will Go On, which was certainly not chosen at random, I believe that the theme could be precisely that and perhaps, as you also said, an MV could have attracted unwanted attention

She made an "MV" for this song in her own channel, Solarsido, were she pole dances with her pole dance teacher. It's beautiful.
Thank you for the info!
