Hazel Eyes opens with Love Love Love, a song fitting of the season it was released. With it’s cheerful beats and lighthearted nature, the song is nothing out of the ordinary in regards to Christmas songs but it is a nice listen altogether. Vocally, it’s a nicely put together song. The melody is simple, nothing particularly catchy but still shows off the vocals quite well. Someone is You slows things down a little more with a nice midtempo pop tune. When I first listened to it, the first thing I thought of was Girls’ Generation’s first album. It’s a charming song with a nice melody, but relies more on the fact it shows off the girls’ vocals. My only gripe is the random introduction of male background vocals. I think it would’ve sounded better with the girls doing the background vocals.

Overall: Considering what it was for and when it was released, it’s a nice release. My problem is that it’s a little too dull for my tastes. I guess when I think of After School, I think of something exciting, especially for the promotional track.
