RIIZE’s new album has a really robust visible factor, with music movies or shortened “observe movies” for every music. Due to this (and since the album is so robust), I’ll be working via your complete observe listing over the subsequent few days. Be sure that to verify again usually!
1. Odyssey // 2. Bag Unhealthy Again // 3. Ember To Photo voltaic // 4. Fly Up // 5. Present Me Love // 6. Passage // 7. Midnight Mirage // 8. The Finish Of The Day // 9. Inside My Love // 10. One other Life
EMBER TO SOLAR
When re-evaluating Bag Unhealthy Again, I discussed a “traditional” SM boy group sound. This explicit brew is totally distinctive to Ok-pop. In truth, for me it is Ok-pop to a big extent. Ember To Photo voltaic triumphantly attracts upon this legacy, crafting an album standout that would simply compete with greats like SHINee and TVXQ.
This method is heard most clearly on Ember To Photo voltaic‘s refrain. You hear it within the staccato supply of the lyrics, drawing upon the distinctive charms of the Korean language in a approach so few Ok-pop songs do today. It’s within the vocal layering, making a dramatic wall of sound that forges six voices collectively till they type a very new texture. And, it’s in Ember To Photo voltaic‘s basic sense of scope. This isn’t music meant to be loved as “simple listening.” That is an expertise.
As an precise music, I’m not but certain if Ember To Photo voltaic can compete with the greats. It’s a bit too depending on rap and sing-talk, forgoing the prospect to lace the observe with a sequence of stronger melodies. However, that is the place that patented “SM Efficiency” sound leaps in to save lots of the day. Even the slightest of hooks sound completely towering when painted with all these theatrics. And at its coronary heart, Ember To Photo voltaic‘s central hook could be very efficient. It seems like an invite to battle — simply extremely rousing stuff.
