Astro has released their third mini album "Autumn Story" and title track "Confession" last November 9. Astro is from Fantagio Entertainment and they only debuted this year. They are really popular with female fans because of their cutesy and boy next door image.
Astro's music video for "Confession" has now more than one million views. The music video is your typical kpop boy group music video. The very bubbly kind and energetic as the members of Astro dance and sing together. The members are all goofing around and playing with each other. There are also scenes where they dance. Also, there is a female lead in the music video.
The music video has a twist in the end, as the members are only an imagination of the female lead. The Astro members are only in the female lead's drawings and she is the one giving life to them.
Member Cha Eun Woo talked about the ending scene of the music video. He said that "There's a scene at the end where he's crying and holding onto the female lead's sleeve because they can't really be together with the girl in reality. He thinks that it is a very sad ending.
"Autumn Story" is their third mini album already even though they only debuted like eight months ago. The first song in "Autumn Story" is "Colored" or "Stained". It is their typical bubble gum song. It is very cute like the members. Next is the title track, "Confession". It is a catchy and upbeat pop tune that is all about the boys trying to confess to a girl. Next is "Star". It is a really nice song. It has a catchy beat and a mellow melody. It is best for the autumn season as the title of the album suggests.
"Lonely" can also be the title track for this album. The song is really good and I can imagine the boys dancing to it. It is more mature sounding than "Confession" and is not their typical cutesy song. Last song is "Your Love". It is the only ballad in the album. It totally showed the member's vocal colors as they sing the sadness of the song. It is very simple and not so much instrumentals so the members' voices are really heard. I really like it.
I feel like Astro fits the cutesy, boy next door concept so much. It is also a good thing that their talent can back them up. I do hope they will have more mature songs as the group get older.
