As is commonly the case with J-pop singles, ENHYPEN’s Shine On Me has been out there for just a few weeks now, however at this time it’s lastly paired with its half-animated, half-live motion music video. As a straight-down-the-middle ballad, the music affords a distinct texture for the group.
This type of lovelorn summer season ballad rears its head yearly round this time and works as good counterprogramming to the season’s extra energetic choices. It’s good to listen to ENHYPEN strip again the manufacturing and ship a observe centered on vocal melody and robust sentiment. With that stated, there’s solely to this point a music like this will stretch. It takes a completely breathtaking sequence of melodies or a knock-your-socks-off efficiency for one thing like Shine On Me to be a standout on my playlist. With Okay-pop, that occurs as soon as in a blue moon and the temper in decidedly un-blue at this time.
What we’re left with is a really nice pop observe that follows the HYBE soft-rock formulation. This might have simply as simply been carried out by teams like &TEAM or TXT with no actual change. I suppose that’s a testomony to the music’s sturdiness, nevertheless it additionally ends in a fairly generic hear. Followers of the group will probably be thrilled to listen to ENHYPEN on this specific musical realm, so I suppose that’s mission completed in its personal manner.
