Unlike a lot of the Moonlights lately, this is one I already knew about and actually really like. I think it's one of the best songs Ab6ix has ever put out. It has such a serotonin boosting vibe. I actually saw Ab6ix a couple of years ago in concert so they're one of my favorite boy groups for their gen. Reiley is a tik tok singer and he's from the Faroe Islands, so that's a unique country. Ab6ix has the most random collaborations lol

Ab6ix are still active and have released their song Loser since this collab. They actually got their first music show win in like 4 years with that comeback (which is ironic because of the title lol). Reiley is continuing to do his thing on tiktok as well. This year he represented Denmark in Eurovision.

Yup, and I have actually seen him perform live at a concert.

I remember when that song came out, I expected that it was going to be mentioned in Faroese articles and be played on the Faroese radio stations. But I have actually not heard it even once on the radio. (even though I have heard a lot of songs by him on the radio)

A Danish article kinda mentioned the collab, but it was more in a "he had a collaboration with one of the biggest Korean boygroups". It didn't even mention which boygroup, it was, or the name of the song, even though it was obvious to me what song that article was talking about.

After Eurovision he released a song called Lovesongs.

At concert, I was at, he also performed a song that has not been released yet.

But yup, this is actually the first time that a kpop group has had a collab with a Faroese artist.

I know that he is very popular in South Korea, which I think is one of the reasons, AB6IX had a collaboration with him.

Even though Faroe Islands is a kinda unknown country, there are some few kpop songs that have been composed by Faroese artists.

I was actually thinking about how it's nice that you're also discovering songs with the whole Moonlight thing. I assume most other songs you're already familiar with before putting them on here.

Without even checking I'm guessing Reiley is the one in blue. He looks more like a tiktoker than anyone else who's ever tiktoked lol. But honestly he has a really great voice and I would assume he does really well on the app because of that.

It's awesome that you got to see that group. I'm still kind of amazed at how many groups make it to the USA. I quickly gave a few other songs a listen and I really like Cherry and Loser. I'm just gonna pretend I didn't see those purple shorts
