Japanese tripleS sub-unit “∞!” debuted final yr with the moody, hypnotic Untitled. It was one of many higher tripleS title tracks, although I can’t say it stayed on my playlist for lengthy. Now, they’re again with a jauntier pop track in new single Password.
There’s a joke going round about tripleS’s sturdy reliance on “la la la” hooks. They definitely love the schtick and Password is the newest in a protracted line of songs to conclude its refrain on this method. Nonetheless, the “la la la” is a comparatively small a part of this general track — simply sufficient to ingratiate them inside “tripleS’s La La La Cinematic Universe.”
As a substitute, Password is a chugging dance monitor with loads of quirky synth-fueled switch-ups to offer it a cute J-pop power. It’s a bit unwieldy and overstuffed, but not one of the hooks break via the association to land with any pressure. The refrain virtually will get there, however a lot of the track’s melodies goal the identical normal construction. It seems like a sequence of riffs and asides slightly than a well-developed spotlight reel. There’s a greater track to be original from this combine, however because it stands Password is tough to get your arms round.
