The apostrophe-averse Child DONT Cry debuted earlier this 12 months with two promoted songs and a enjoyable, upbeat sound in want of growth. A number of months later, they’re again with the defiant I DONT CARE. Music apart, it’s develop into clear that the group’s administration doesn’t care in regards to the guidelines of capitalization and punctuation. I’d love to listen to a tune about that!
Fortunately, they do care about large synth riffs, and I DONT CARE is anchored by a bounding loop that helps craft an thrilling centerpiece. We’ve heard a surplus of icy synth in Okay-pop over the previous 5 years, nevertheless it nonetheless packs a punch if used nicely. I DONT CARE is usually a catchy pop/rock observe, however that added texture provides it a welcome sheen. Nevertheless, after I hear an instrumental like this I actually need the complete tune to match its scope.
That is the place I DONT CARE falters a bit. Aside from its large refrain, the observe follows predictable traces and infrequently sputters right into a lower-than-anticipated power. Distinction could be a highly effective device in a producer’s repertoire, however that’s not what’s taking place right here. As an alternative, the tune merely segues into verses which are boring and (surprisingly) overlong. However, that’s the beauty of a refrain. They repeat typically, and every time I DONT CARE‘s hook comes round we’re again in enterprise. Subsequent time, I hope Child DONT Cry discover a method to prolong this thrilling spirit.
