I’ve been using exhausting for One Love One Coronary heart ever since their debut in 2022. I really suppose their first album LOVE1 is without doubt one of the finest J-pop albums… ever? It’s been extra of a combined bag since then, however even their most generic J-pop sounds have been buoyed by the pure appeal of the members. I’ve at all times beloved the idea of mixed-gender teams and One Love One Coronary heart’s younger age makes for a extra musically attention-grabbing idea than the swaggy nature of Korea’s counterparts (KARD, ALLDAY PROJECT).
Certainly one of my largest points with the group’s newer work is their over-reliance on two or three vocalists. The energy of a bunch like this lies within the numerous variety of vocal tones obtainable to the songwriters/producers. My favourite One Love One Coronary heart songs give each member time to shine and that mix of voices lends the music a theatrical sound that feels recent. New single Anone, Zutto Suki Deshita (You Know, I’ve All the time Preferred You) is beneficiant in its line distribution, even pairing female and male vocals collectively for excellent texture. The track is a bounding summer time monitor, unfolding over rhythmic guitar that snowballs into better climaxes because the monitor goes on. Handclaps quickly be a part of the combination and from right here the refrain blossoms with a widescreen attraction.
This track might not instantly hit you over the pinnacle, however a number of listens over the course of some weeks have confirmed its sturdiness. The monitor is only a surging beam of daylight, so peppy and uplifting that it’s troublesome to withstand. Apparently, the just-released music video pairs the members off into {couples}, doing the form of “transport” often prodded alongside by rabid fan bases. I’m unsure how the members really feel about it, however I suppose that is one other embedded advantage of a co-ed group!
