TXT’s new (full) album weighs in at eight tracks and a paltry twenty-one minutes. This brevity isn’t distinctive to TXT and I don’t imply to name them out particularly, however it’s consultant of decisions the Ok-pop business is at present making. A lot effort appears to enter every part surrounding the music, even because the precise songs develop shorter and fewer developed. On this case, that effort consists of music movies for every of the members’ solo tracks. In step with the truncated nature of the album, I’ll be writing mini critiques for every tune because the movies are launched.
Beomgyu launched a solo monitor earlier this 12 months, and Take My Half‘s comfortable rock looks like an extension of that. That is clearly a style he prefers and it suits his vocal shade nicely. I simply want he discovered extra participating songs inside this soundscape. Take My Half is fairly and delicate and jogs my memory of the easy-listening indie music of the early-to-late 00s, however like Panic this simply goes in a single ear and out the opposite for me. The melodies really feel acquainted and unremarkable, cresting in a softly anthemic refrain that virtually begs for performative emoting. It’ll probably go down nicely in concert events however doesn’t do a lot to push his artistry ahead.
