A Okay-pop act’s title monitor isn’t all the time the most effective track on their album, even when it’s the one most individuals will hear. Typically, b-sides deserve recognition too. Within the singles-oriented world of Okay-pop, I wish to highlight a few of these buried treasures and provides them the props they deserve.
Of all potential Okay-pop artists, I didn’t anticipate xikers to provide the intense boy group sound I’m typically searching for. Nevertheless, they’ve finished this twice on their new single — first with the incredible Up All Evening after which instantly after with b-side 100%.
This one’s truly even poppier than the only itself. In reality, I believe it’s the poppiest monitor the group has recorded up up to now. It takes a bombastic pop/rock strategy, melding gentle synth, rhythm guitar and bounding beats till we attain its anthemic call-and-response refrain. xikers imbue the monitor with loads of character, remodeling a construction that would have simply change into generic in different arms. Most every part about 100% is simple and unsurprising, however I really like the refrain. It has a way of scope we don’t hear sufficient of in Okay-pop’s chant-heavy world. Possibly this being a Japanese monitor offers them some clearance to go greater melodically. In reality, this quick (2:39) track even makes room for a standout bridge. It’s very environment friendly this manner, however nonetheless manages to incorporate all of the goodies a pop fan would hope for.
