A Okay-pop act’s title observe isn’t at all times one of the best music 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 Okay-pop, I need to highlight a few of these buried treasures and provides them the props they deserve.

ONEWE tried their hand at a extra upbeat title observe with Off Street, however there’s a stronger model of this sound hiding on the finish of their new album. A Piece Of You (유일한 사랑이니까) melds their rock depth with a little bit of synthpop, leading to a compelling sound that jogs my memory of the indie teams I used to like within the mid-2000’s.

This music has been caught in my head all week. The bouncy synth loop that opens the observe is pure perfection, vibrant in tone however sharp in execution. It units the stage for an lively observe and frames the standout refrain with loads of verve. Frontman Younghoon nonetheless manages to rattle off some robust energy notes, however A Piece Of You is much extra nimble than the band’s common method. It seems like they’re having an excellent time and that sentiment is infectious. The music doesn’t skimp on the drama both, unveiling a strong guitar solo as we head into the climax.

Grade: B+
