It’s getting harder to determine which songs to jot down a evaluate for on this weblog. NiziU’s b-side What If (만약이라는 건 없어) is promoted by a “monitor video” in the present day, which is mainly a distinct time period for a (considerably finances) music video. I’m unsure whether or not the group will likely be performing this on music exhibits and I don’t assume it may be thought-about a “single” within the conventional sense, however the track actually eclipses title monitor Love Line.
It’s enjoyable to listen to a woman group attempt their hand at an easy rock track. On this sense, What If feels way more according to trendy J-pop than Ok-pop, which isn’t shocking given NiziU’s roots. In contrast to Love Line, this can be a robust showcase of their vocals and provides them a sturdy soundscape to play in. The track lacks the megawatt hooks of a superb title monitor, however proves addictive in the long term because of its sturdy development and anthemic melodies. A extra distinctive contact would have raised What If‘s prospects, however for these in search of a timeless, wistful sound that is undoubtedly one of many stronger woman group tracks of the previous month.
