There have been many pre-release tracks this week, a technique that Ok-pop appears to be very keen on recently. Yves has an album scheduled for subsequent month and provides us an early style with White Cat right this moment. Her earlier work has delved into hyperpop influences, little doubt impressed by the large success of Charli XCX’s Brat final yr. White Cat continues this strategy with an indie-electro sound.
Songs like this may be tough for me to totally wrap my arms round. I can inform they’re attempting to be cool and various, and that effort — from the warped vocals to the quirky instrumental — has a means of feeling much less genuine than it needs to be. When it comes right down to it, I’m all the time on the lookout for comparable qualities in a tune: incredible melodies/hooks, a way of satisfying improvement and an vitality that retains me coming again for extra. This could look and sound totally different throughout genres.
White Cat has actually mastered its particular sound. It would slot in completely on any indie pop playlist and Yves’s cool, aloof efficiency works nicely over the manufacturing’s crunchy textures. However for me, the observe feels extra like one thing I ought to respect than one thing I can unabashedly love. I can inform that it’s objectively good, however I simply can’t make a connection past that. Actually, although, that sentiment might apply to most LOONA/post-LOONA tasks for me.
