A Ok-pop act’s title monitor isn’t all the time one of the best tune on their album, even when it’s the one most individuals will hear. Generally, b-sides deserve recognition too. Within the singles-oriented world of Ok-pop, I wish to highlight a few of these buried treasures and provides them the props they deserve.
Not too way back (2021, to be precise), I used to be impressed to jot down a track-by-track evaluate of a Key album. Oh, I want these days would return! I’m so pissed off by Key’s latest output (Hunter however). I do know what he’s able to and he looks like one of many few idols who genuinely loves full-on pop music, however this new album tempers its trendy manufacturing with extremely bland melodies/songwriting. The place. Are. The. Hooks?!?
Total, the album’s an enormous go for me however I nonetheless wished to spotlight one in every of its stronger songs. Glam will get closest to replicating the colourful, energetic attraction of Key’s finest work, even when it’s held again by (you guessed it) uninteresting melodies that characteristic method an excessive amount of predictable sing-talk. Nonetheless, the refrain is good in an easy method and the staccato beat that follows jogs my memory of his bandmate Taemin’s glorious Guess Who. Even so, it seems like Glam might go twice as huge and daring and be all the higher for it. As a listener, I crave ambition and a way of scale. If anybody can present that, it’s Key. So, let’s get on with it!
