Ever since his debut as part of AKMU, Chanhyuk’s songwriting has boasted a unique flavor that can’t be found anywhere else. I could easily imagine Vivid LaLa Love as an AKMU single and…

Now, it’s time to see if the album’s second title track can do the same. Chiller‘s opening bars don’t inspire much confidence. Dream ask if we’re “ready for this” as tepid trap beats unfold. I’m always ready for a good…
