Song Review: ARrC – S&S (Sour & Sweet)

Past the standard of the music, the primary factor that attracts me to a newly debuted group is a novel perspective. A lot of this new technology’s large names (TWS, BOYNEXTDOOR) have a selected sound and idea that carries even their weaker materials. If any company is poised to duplicate this method, it’s Mystic Story. They managed to present lady group Billlie a novel worldview and I’m hoping they will do the identical for ARrC. Pre-release Dummy didn’t do a lot for me, and S&S (Bitter & Candy) additional complicates issues.

This music is aptly named as a result of it’s a seize bag of parts — some nice and others off-putting. I like the ambition it takes to stuff this many concepts into one observe, and given fashionable expectations its three-and-a-half minute operating time appears to stretch on endlessly. Nevertheless, I want that each particular person piece felt like its personal spotlight. It’s a bit like digging by means of a crate of sweet solely to search out that you simply’re not serious about a lot of the flavors.

S&S opens with a rugged electro groove that immediately captures consideration. The bass undulates with actual presence, stealing consideration from the so-so verse thrown excessive. From right here, we gradual to a syrupy crawl earlier than dropping into probably the most disappointing course in S&S‘s multifaceted menu. The opening half of the refrain is an obnoxious slog — a jolt of sing-song catchphrasery that simply doesn’t work. The melodic chorus that follows is way extra pleasant, although I can’t assist however really feel I’ve heard this similar sound executed extra efficiently in lots of an NCT Dream observe. S&S will get weirder from right here, however so lots of its cool manufacturing thrives (electrical guitar!) are buried in predictable bluster. The music would profit from a streamlined method that trims its weaker, extra grating moments.
