I actually take pleasure in Shut Your Eyes’ latest title monitor Snowy Summer season, however after I give it some thought the music might be my least favourite on their new mini album. I already wrote about b-side You, realizing full effectively that album opener Paint Sweet would finally be promoted as a double title monitor. Now, it’s been paired with a brand new video forward of possible music present performances.
If I’ve one criticism for Shut Your Eyes, it’s that I want their music heightened the power a bit. The overwhelming majority of their tracks to this point have been mid-tempo, which isn’t my most well-liked mode for idol pop. Paint Sweet‘s brisk New Jack Swing beat will get us a lot nearer to bop territory and hints at a promising transformation for his or her sound.
The music opens with a catchy spoken-word hook (harking back to Crimson Velvet’s iconic Crimson Taste, truly!) earlier than launching into its first verse. Whereas the percussion hits with new depth, the vocal supply continues to be fairly laid again. This distinction works effectively, particularly set towards the flood of forgettable sing-talk at present clogging the Okay-pop market. Paint Sweet‘s refrain is equally restrained, coasting alongside the groove fairly than snatching full command of the music. Once more, this isn’t my most well-liked strategy to a music like this, however Shut Your Eyes make it work because of their compelling vocal coloration and the overall breeziness of the monitor. General, this makes for a stable late-summer spotlight.
