Huge, enjoyable “recession period” pop music has slowly been creeping again into international music tendencies and I’ve had my fingers crossed that it might finally discover its method to Okay-pop as nicely. I didn’t count on this to occur by way of a bunch like NTX, who’ve to this point flown underneath the radar with quite a lot of totally different sounds (and ranging high quality). Nevertheless, new single Over N Over is enjoyable with a capital “F,” inviting you to silence your internal critic and relish the bounding beat and sing-along refrain.
There’s a ton of Bigbang-goes-rock spirit fueling Over N Over, however principally it simply feels like each group of 2012-13 in an effective way. After a short intro, the track opens up and simply retains spreading its wings as we swerve from punchy verse to anthemic refrain. The second when refrain #1 transitions to verse #1 is pure want success for a fan like me who’s at all times clamoring for momentum and drive in his pop songs. All of the whereas, the percussion chugs alongside as spikes of electrical guitar provide texture and adrenaline. The entire thing relishes in its formulaic strategy and I’m not in the least mad at a track that merely needs to ship on expectations.
At three and a half minutes, Over N Over is already a wholesome size for a contemporary Okay-pop track, however it might actually use thirty extra seconds to go complete ham with a killer climax. Throughout its finale, the observe sounds as if it’s going to burst into an prolonged confetti drop however fizzles out as an alternative. That is the only a part of the “recession pop” system the track refuses to offer us, and it’s a disgrace. On the plus aspect, it’ll solely have me replaying this utter pleasure bomb… over n over once more.
