I depend myself among the many contingent of Chungha followers preferring when her music goals straight for the golf equipment, that means this spring’s title monitor Eenie Meenie grew to become eclipsed by its clubbier b-side I’m Prepared. With new single Algorithm, she appears to have grasped the system (see what I did there?) many people have been ready for, however the track’s execution leaves one thing to be desired.
Algorithm heads straight to the dancefloor, putting Chungha’s vocals over a home beat and maintaining the vitality brisk all through. The manufacturing pulses with a trendy drive. It’s fairly generic, however in a approach that feels immediately acquainted and alluring. Other than the easy percussion, plenty of attention-grabbing synth traces compete for consideration because the monitor twists and turns. The flute-like sound throughout the pre-choruses is very distinctive.
When Chungha first debuted, I had some misgivings about her vocal efficiency/association. That critique has softened lots as her artistry has grown, however Algorithm takes a step again. I’m undecided if the secret is pitched too excessive or the vocal manufacturing is just too unadorned and/or compressed, however her efficiency usually feels at odds with the instrumental, stopping the track from absolutely exploding. Given its quick working time, Algorithm struggles to search out its full potential. I like what it’s attempting to do, however the track doesn’t fairly get there.
