Song Review: Lucy – Villain

I had the prospect to catch Lucy on their current world tour they usually had been all the pieces I hoped they’d be: immensely proficient, very personable and chock-full of fantastic music. However even in that setting, I couldn’t assist however discover that their older materials hit hardest. Songs like Flare and Snooze have but to be bettered and the group’s newer materials is usually a combined bag.

New single Villain harnesses a lot of Lucy’s strengths however continues to be strong quite than spectacular. The band have upped the power this time, giving the observe a driving rock pressure. This sound jogs my memory of presently fashionable Japanese rock bands. You may simply think about Villain appearing because the OST to a drama or anime. Sangyeop’s sturdy vocals inject character at each flip and the group’s enjoying is as tight as ever, however the busyness of Villain makes it tough for his or her distinctive charms to interrupt by means of. Add a sequence of vague melodies and you’ve got the sound of a band operating on momentum quite than pausing to craft one other basic.

Grade: C+
