Nam Woohyun has always been generous to fans, frequently releasing special one-off singles to mark occasions or simply show gratitude to those who follow him. He’s also a composer, with some of his best solo work being co-written by him. And then, of course, there’s that voice. I could listen to that voice sing anything.
New single Boyfriend (너의 남자) takes a rock influence, similar to past efforts like Everyday. In comparison, this is a much lighter version of the genre, placing optimistic melodies over a sprightly band sound. It’s a fun toe-tapper, though the song feels pretty inessential to Woohyun’s overall output. Its major selling point — as is often the case with him — is sentiment. His passion comes out in the vocals and sells Boyfriend‘s generic OST vibes. With that said, this is little more than a pleasant footnote in Infinite’s extended discography — hopefully something to tide us over until the group returns with more ambitious material.
