Following fellow member Yeonjun’s solo single GGUM final yr, TXT’s Beomgyu has emerged together with his personal observe. Panic has been labeled as a “mixtape,” although by its very nature a mixtape wants a couple of track to be an precise “combine.” Extra precisely, this can be a digital single that Huge Hit possible didn’t need to saddle with all of the pressures of full promotion. In any case, it’s a good extension of the group’s extra rock-oriented sound.
There appears to be an enormous house for angsty tender rock in Okay-pop’s boy group panorama and Panic slots properly into that oeuvre. The instrumental has some meat to it, cruising alongside insistent guitar. It’s extremely moody — the sort of track you’d get your emotions to quite than merely take pleasure in. Beomgyu’s voice is a advantageous sufficient vessel for this materials, although I want his efficiency showcased extra grit and persona. Mixed with a track that feels fairly generic, the entire package deal lacks a little bit of spark.
With regards to materials like Panic, it’s essential that each little bit of the manufacturing feels genuine. I’m unsure I purchase what this track is promoting, and its vitality is just too inert to distract consideration away from that feeling. Whereas is a promising sound for Beomgyu, the execution is just too flat to make any noticeable mark.
