Zhou Mi Is So Good, We Want to “Rewind” Forever

Officially Kmusic

November 1, 2014

We were incredibly excited for Super Junior-M‘s alum Zhou Mi to finally have a fully promoted solo debut. He’s super talented though he’s been working quietly and mostly behind the scenes with only rare steps in to the spotlight when SuJu-M promotes.  Much like Henry before him, his debut was quietly hyped with a teaser that was a little vague but just like Henry, it seems that the wait was totally worth it.

There are two versions of this song; one in Korean that features Chanyeol from EXO and one in Chinese that features Tao.  Both versions utilize the same video concept:  post-break up, Zhou Mi wants to rewind time to undo the time that he was, quite frankly, a butt and a terrible boyfriend.  Who can’t relate to that?  And seriously, he’s not very nice to his video girlfriend at all.  The song has a strong R&B feel to it and suits his voice quite well.  I am not as familiar with SuJu-M and the voices of the individual members, but this song made me want to be a fan of Zhou Mi.  His voice has a smooth, emotional and mature quality that I really love.  He also is a very skilled dancer, which is a bonus but not really a surprise any more.  I think you have to be a stellar dancer to be part of SM these days.

Here are the two versions of the video for you to watch (Korean first, Chinese second) and fall in love with!

I really love this song and I would have loved it just as much without the added bonus at the end of the video.  Did you know that about Zhou Mi?  I feel sadly under-informed, I had no idea.

Now for the only difficult part of this review:  I liked this song so much more than I liked Taemin‘s “Danger“.  I know that’s hard to hear, particularly if you’re a hard-core Shawol like I am.  To me, this song was mature and soulful and funky in a way that Taemin just can’t master yet.  If I could only listen to one artists’ work from SM this year, right now my money is on Zhou Mi.  Or EXO, that “Overdose” mini-album was amazing.  The point being that this album should be on every fan’s “Best of 2014” list.

What do you think about this album?  Were you excited for Zhou Mi’s debut?  Let us know in the comments!
