Aziatix, the Korean-American R&B trio of Flowsik, Nicky Lee and Eddie Shin, has recently released their latest full-length album. Comprising of 6 new songs and 5 previously released songs from their self-titled debut album, they certainly did not disappoint fans with their newest venture. Keeping to their formula from their debut album, Aziatix continues to churn out more great hits.
With music producer Jae Chong at the helm, Aziatix is not only creating waves in America, but in South Korea as well. On top of that, their total use of English throughout all their songs also created an international appeal towards their brand of music and they have managed to amass more fans in the process (I’m one of those many I-fans!).
The short Intro track is beautifully haunting, and is used in the teaser for Slippin' Away. In the teaser, Eddie can be seen falling into water in slow motion whilst the track plays in the background. The teaser was so captivating that it made anticipate the album’s release even more!
Slippin' Away, the title track of the album, opens with a Eddie’s amazing vocals which echoes throughout the track. Somehow I can’t get enough of the fact how the trio can blend so well together: Flowsik raps, Nicky sings smoothly, whilst Eddie’s vocals haunts beautifully.
The song tells of the experience of not being able to deal with a lover leaving. The lyrics goes “I don’t want you to go even if you’re telling me you’ve gotten over me girl, cos’ lately I realized without you I can’t live another day”. This song got me hitting the replay button again and again! Watch the wonderful music video for Slippin' Away here.
Superstar is a track laced with Autotune, yet managing to sound pretty decent. It’s a track that features more of Flowsik’s rap and it is the sort of song that winds you down after a night of hard partying. It is more similar in the vein of the previously released song, Another Day.
A Game sounds very much like a typical K-pop song at the start, especially with the synthesized beats, but what sets it apart from others is it has sort of an American feel to it somehow, maybe since Flowsik’s rap sounds very much like an American artist. I got addicted to the beat of this song after spinning it once.
Be With You gives you the feel of a boy band song, an easy-going song that also has hints of K-pop. It sounds pretty much like the previously released Go, but just a little more jazzed up.
Say Yeah, the last track, pretty much wraps up the whole album. It opens with a club beat that gets you swaying to it, and the trio’s harmonization will soon keep you “sayin’ Yeah Yeah”.
Pretty much I got what I expected of them, and I am glad to see that they do mix and match various styles in their songs as they have both slow and up tempo songs. Looking forwards to their next release already!
