These of us begging for a WJSN comeback have been tossed the smallest bone by Starship Leisure right this moment. The company has unveiled member Dayoung’s first solo single with virtually no promotion or build-up. Nevertheless, beggars can’t be choosers and I’m completely happy to see WJSN again in any capability.
I wouldn’t anticipate member solos to uphold the spacey, celestial sound of WJSN’s full group work and Physique positively takes a unique strategy. Like many Okay-pop idols, Dayoung’s opted for a totally English language observe to attraction to as world an viewers as attainable. This all the time muddies the waters a bit for me and invitations comparisons to western pop music moderately than slotting properly into the Okay-pop ecosystem. With that in thoughts, Physique does a fully tremendous job delivering a frothy, simply digestible dance pop observe.
Dayoung is a compelling performer and brings loads of power to Physique. The primary verse gives an thrilling sense of construct that made me suppose we have been in for a significant dance banger. As a substitute, the tune pulls again for a extra restrained refrain. This can be a little bit of a bummer and lacks the sticky melody wanted to make the strategy work. The hook is simply too monotonous for its personal good, although this will really enhance the tune’s longevity as a result of it’s simply really easy to hearken to.
