Woman group LOVEONE debuted late final 12 months however I haven’t but written about them on this weblog. In actual fact, dig just below the floor and there are numerous under-the-radar acts which have by no means acquired a write-up. Most of those have nice intentions however are hamstrung by a restricted funds and companies which might be too risk-averse to attempt the unconventional sounds wanted to make a “nugu” group stand out.
Drama Queen isn’t radical, however I wished to function it as a result of its sound is near a sure type of woman group Ok-pop I miss. A retro instrumental (Ladies Aloud Love Machine, anybody?) bounds with power, framing a sequence of candy melodies that enable the women to sing with panache. Even the talkier moments of the observe have a melodic bounce that feels particularly welcome this 12 months. Sadly, the tip product is barely a fraction as satisfying because the songs it imitates, however I hear a whole lot of potential and hope that LOVEONE can cling onto this type for future comebacks.
