A Okay-pop act’s title monitor isn’t at all times the perfect music on their album, even when it’s the one most individuals will hear. Typically, b-sides deserve recognition too. Within the singles-oriented world of Okay-pop, I need to highlight a few of these buried treasures and provides them the props they deserve.
Like title monitor Snowy Summer time, Shut Your Eyes’ new mini album doesn’t instantly hit you over the pinnacle. Although it’s typically extra upbeat than its predecessor, the songs are nonetheless fairly subdued when in comparison with most Okay-pop. And like their earlier work, vocal texture and tone carry the day. Opener Love Paint has been designated as a second title monitor, which implies if may probably get a music video. That’s nice as a result of it’s a enjoyable little bit of old-school R&B, however the album’s third monitor You has caught my consideration most.
With You, it appears like we’re getting the melodic heft of Shut Your Eyes’ debut bolstered by a extra driving beat. It jogs my memory of their superb How To Dance (a music that I ought to have featured as a buried treasure). The textures are mushy and dreamy however the percussion surges ahead and offers the monitor a bit extra depth. I don’t know what it’s, however I maintain wanting to match this group to my beloved B1A4. That’s in all probability wishful considering, as I haven’t but heard any music that comes near B1A4’s greatest, however You‘s mild surge has some similarities that trigger me to take a seat up and take discover. I hope their music continues to flirt with extra energetic sounds sooner or later.
