Fatüm (SUI/HIDE-ZOU) will release their first CD on June 24th in two types under their new independent label, Vox Division, and distributed by CREAM Entertainment. They also gave us the first taste of their music with their first MV:
Yup, that’s a Sui song. I’m totally okay with that, I like his stuff, and I’m happy we’re getting more. I love the costumes and the visuals too (honestly I think Hide-Zou’s look is the winner here lol). Also, it was about time we got an actual new MV with him, IIRC the last one was 4 years ago with David - Messiah.
Liked the style, and the song had a good flow to it. Still, nothing to hook me in, so it just sounds like the sum of its parts and nothing more. I’ll keep an ear out for them since acts like this are always one moment of inspiration away from a banger. If that moment ever comes.
Starting their project at the VK church? Not the most original move, but who am I to stand against tradition? At least they bypassed the warehouse-with-party-lights phase. I’m surprised Mana didn’t show up in the video to preside over the ceremony.
It’s kinda exactly what it said in the description - a Sui song with Hide-zou. Fine song, nothing revolutionary. Hoped they would start more with an bang, but fine, I guess.
They keep taking them to the coalmine to see if it is a gasleak thats killing visual kei
I didn’t think I’d like HIDE-ZOU’s backing vocals, but I was pleasantly surprised.
The video is 10/10.
Regarding SUI… more of the same (SUI, David, now Fatüm…), a shame.
I listened to it just now and it is good music. I like the songs and their overall style, I love that HIDE-ZOU is involved but by and large this seems like a continuation of DAVID. It is basically the same gothy symphonic rock. I do hope that they try out some new ground (their initial self-characterization made it seem so) and I would also like to have a bit more equally distributed vocals. They do sound beautiful together.
Of course, Sui can be the main vocalist but apart from very minor and mostly background parts, HIDE-ZOU is less vocally involved than, again, their initial launch made it seem.
