"Dear my dear" by CHEN

   I was meant to review this album right after it came out, but I only managed to post my thoughts on the lead single Shall We?. Part of the delay was due to the series I'm planning Battle of the Groups: ROTY and then SuperM happened, and I had to upload reviews on their debut (Jopping reviewSuperM Mini Album Review), and before ATTEZ hits tomorrow with their brand new album,  and since I haven't seen much people praise this album enough, I wanted to talk about the beautiful piece of work CHEN has given us.

Shall We?:
I have a detailed review for the title track which you can check here, and if you're not ready to read another post, though its pretty short, just know that I really liked that song.

My Dear:
I loved the instrumentals so much, even the wordless parts of the song were so enjoyable due to the amazing  sounds we got. I liked the build ups, the verses are so beautiful, and the chorus is so good.
I really liked the lyrics, and though I don't think I need to say this, CHEN delivers a great performance.

Amaranth:
Similar to the previous track, I really liked the guitar here; the strenght of this song relies in its simplicity. Just CHEN  singing to a simple beat, no overproduction whatsoever, yet it made me feel so much emotions, especially towards the end.

Hold You Tight:
This track is more upbeat compared to the others, the way it's delivered, the way the guitar is played, and the lyrics sang are all bright. I'm quite obsessed with the chorus, as well as with the high note we get towards the end. This song puts me in such a great mood, I think most people expected to get nothing but sad,slow ballads from him, and this track would definitely be a surprise to them.

You Never Know:
The intro with that piano was so beautiful. Though not my favourite track from the album;I think CHEN's performance here is one of the best, he sounded flawless and angelic start to finish. The lyrics are really good and due to the amazing vocals we get, they hit on a different level.

Good Night:
I know I'm being repetitive, but I'm seriously so obsessed with the instrumentals on this album. Clean, soft, and beautifully mixed; I really want to applaud the producers and everyone involved because they did a great job.
I loved this song so much, it was such a strong track to close the album, I think the entire album is strong lyrically, but for some reason I really loved  every word sang here; I just found them, especially the chorus, to be extremely comforting. Such a beautiful track, I honestly want everyone to listen to it.
