AMPERS&ONE debuted in late-2023 with the energetic On And On and have largely maintained that upbeat sound since. Although this was a really stable debut, they’ve struggled to search out materials that matches or elevates its high quality. Their music has been constantly stable however lacks the person character of a TWS or BOYNEXTDOOR. Kick Begin is not any totally different, feeling as if it stepped proper off the meeting line to be carried out by any present boy group.
Kick Begin switches between personality-fueled rap verses and a vibrant, playful refrain. Nothing about any of those segments stands out. It’s like “Ok-pop boy group 101” — the type of generic materials that is perhaps carried out as a part of one of many business’s many survival collection. That plug and play high quality continues to hamper AMPERS&ONE’s particular person development. By this time of their profession, I ought to have thought what their musical model is. Kick Begin sounds extra just like the generic slop JYP is at the moment servicing to his new-gen teams KickFlip and NEXZ.
Past this, Kick Begin simply isn’t a really thrilling track. The manufacturing lacks character past some annoying squeaky sound results. The refrain feels rushed and repetitive and an excessive amount of of the monitor revolves round clipped phrasing that’s arduous to sink your tooth into. As all the time, the power is robust. Nonetheless, power alone doesn’t make a compelling Ok-pop group.
