Throughout their previous few comebacks, EVNNE have carved out an upbeat pop/rock sound. This style is probably not distinctive amongst boy teams, however they pull it off properly. Nevertheless, it does make me marvel how followers of their debut period really feel, as that is fairly a change in type from membership bangers like Hassle. New monitor How Can I Do is one other reinvention of kinds, although it’s extra of a sidestep than a full leap into one thing completely different.
How Can I Do‘s brash supply picks up proper the place February’s Scorching Mess left off, although this feels extra just like the comedown after the celebration. The tempo is decidedly slower right here, loping round moderately than exploding with depth. On this manner, EVNNE are in a position to present a distinct model of themselves. There are a number of moments sprinkled all through the monitor that remind me of a contemporary interpretation of the slinky r&b/pop that Teen High used to ship within the early 2010’s.
With this stated, How Can I Do lacks the sonic signatures to actually seize maintain of listeners’ ears. Regardless of a gutsy efficiency, the track retains a gentle line, sacrificing melodic vary for a simple groove. The rhythm of the refrain is catchy, however the dynamics throughout the track keep principally monotone with none distinct highs and lows. It’s constant however not notably participating. Even a late-song breakdown maintains this stifled vitality.
