Humorous (?) story: I truly listened to sub-unit idntt unevermet’s 8:11 (8시 11분) yesterday when it was first launched however promptly forgot all about it earlier than I even had an opportunity to write down a assessment. I’m undecided that’s ever occurred earlier than, however it goes to indicate you the way little influence idntt’s debut had on me. Similar to their feminine counterpart tripleS, the idntt model guarantees to debut plenty of sub-units, delighting hardcore followers as if confuses extra informal listeners.
I’m all for bold Okay-pop rollouts, but when tripleS’s output is something to go by I worry idntt’s promotional techniques is perhaps extra thrilling than the music itself. Unfairly or not, I count on such a singular configuration to boast equally distinctive music, however to date idntt’s materials has been typical boy group fare. New monitor 8:11 is completely serviceable, drawing from the identical early-2000s hip-hop affect as everybody else this 12 months. The track doesn’t appear to be designed to make waves, selecting as an alternative to put down a pleasing groove that requires no effort to get into.
8:11‘s beat will certainly have your head transferring, significantly because it bursts into its refrain. However with none memorable refrains, the track struggles to differentiate itself. Its vocal-heavy moments are so easy they virtually disappear whereas the rapped refrain injects extra character however may do with a melodic counterpoint so as to add wanted distinction.
