Infinite says "Nothing's Over" for their comeback

In March, rookie group Infinite released their single, "Nothing's Over". This song is a follow up to their Evolution mini album. Back in mid January, these boys released their second mini album titled: Evolution and they promoted a song called "Before the Dawn". It has almost been two weeks since they wrapped up their BTD (Before the Dawn) performances and on March 17th, they dropped a new single. Compared to BTD, this song is more relaxed and happy and the colours of their concept are light. One thing that amazes me is how the group manages to dance perfectly and together without any mistakes.

Okay, so now an intro to Infinite. This 7-member k-pop group debuted last year in June with their first mini album and they promoted a song named "Come Back to Me". Infinite works under Woorim Entertainment, the same company as hip hop group Epik High. The 7 members of infinite are: SungKyu (Leader and main vocalist), WooHyun (main vocalist), L (vocalist and group's pretty boy), Dongwoo (main rapper and lead dancer), Hoya (lead rapper and main dancer), SungYeol (vocalist), and SungJong (vocalist and youngest).

The song that they are currently promoting is Nothing's Over and it is one of my favourite songs from this group. Unlike some of their other songs, this song does not use auto tune and they rely purely on their own vocals. Nothing's Over gives off a calm, relaxed and happy feeling while producing a catchy chorus. For Nothing's Over, Infinite's concept shows off a more natural side compared to BTD where they dressed in dark clothing and heavy makeup. While listening to this song, it makes people feel like spring has finally come and it makes people want to go outside and play.What I like about this single is how the producers spread out the parts evenly and each singer gets an equal part in the song. For their previous songs like, "Come Back to Me", the leader SungKyu mostly sang all the parts while others just danced.

The story behind this song talks about how one of the members, SungYeol, gets dumped by his girlfriend. In the MV, the scene starts off with SungYeol DJing in a club and then a ring gets thrown at him. The music then comes in and each member sings out how this one guy feels. This one member describes how he cannot say goodbye to her yet since he still loves her and how she is still embedded into his mind. He then goes on remembering the first time they met and how nervous he was. At the end, he still cannot believe that she broke up with him. The MV ends with Sungyeol driving away in an old van with Sungjong inside. The dance for this song is quite cute; it's simple but it highlights the song very well.
Once again, I am always amazed at how Infinite manages to sing and dance perfectly and in sync during their live performances.
