Sungmin has discovered a snug area of interest in trot music, a sound that’s nonetheless extremely popular in Korea. And with SM Leisure set to debut a trot boyband of their very own, the style appears poised for much more of a resurgence. In my opinion, I recognize an incredible trot monitor (particularly when carried out stay) however very hardly ever play them alone. The flashy Yo.Yo.Yo. (요.요.요.) is an effective instance of this duality. It’s an incredible pay attention however not one thing I’d doubtless return to.
Sungmin’s voice suits this style like a glove, bending round notes to provide that traditional trot sound. The melodies are very anticipated, riffing on acquainted constructions. This offers Yo.Yo.Yo. the sensation of consolation meals. You probably have even the slightest curiosity in trot music, that is more likely to enchantment to you. There’s good vitality, good humor and a catchy hook repeated usually. Nevertheless, I’d love to listen to what Sungmin might do if he merged trot with different genres in the best way that Hong Jinyoung was in a position to cross over within the mid-to-late 2010’s.
