Crying (Infinite H & Babysoul) (from Over The Top / Paradise – 2011)

Crying is hip-hop unit Infinite H’s first stab at a solo, and the first time listeners were exposed to Lovelyz’s Babysoul. Given these momentous descriptors, you might expect the song to feel more vital. Instead, it’s a pleasant midtempo that casts Hoya and Dongwoo’s verses in a strings-laden romantic atmosphere. Babysoul’s hook is nice enough, but Crying doesn’t feel much like an Infinite song. It lacks the personality that would be ever-present in Infinite H’s later material, replaced with a generic sort of sentimentality that makes it one of the more forgettable entries in the group’s discography. But, at least it got the ball rolling for better things to come!
