Every time I see a newly-debuted group with an extended acronym for a reputation, I’m immediately curious what the letters stand for. The reply is normally entertaining, however “HITGS” is nearly perfunctory in its which means. “Hip, Harmless, Teenager, Women, Story.” Yeah, that’s like a mad lib for the standard Ok-pop imaginative and prescient board. At any price, HITGS hail from H Leisure, residence to each WOOAH and DXMON. I want them properly, as a result of this company has some identified points.
If HITGS’s identify represents non-musical qualities wanted by Ok-pop businesses, debut single Sourpatch stands for example of the trade’s overriding musical developments. We’re on this bizarre part the place Ok-pop has managed to make dance music boring by muting each instrumental and stripping character from the ethereal vocals positioned excessive. Objectively, Sourpatch‘s BPM is excessive, however you wouldn’t realize it from how quiet and subdued the tune sounds.
This looks like a passing world pop pattern that Ok-pop refuses to relinquish. Most big-name popstars have already moved onto a extra personality-rich efficiency fashion, singing like Sourpatch come throughout as an antiquated little curio. The tune itself is okay in the best way most of this beigepop tends to be “high quality,” however between its oft-repeated hooks, stuttering, non-committal percussion and charisma vacuum, Sourpatch is like taking a whiff of gently scented air laced with a touch of sedative.
