BLACKPINK’s Lisa has been working the worldwide press as late with a star activate the latest season of White Lotus, performances at Coachella and The Oscars and quite a lot of big-name collaborations. It appears like she’s actually damaged by, which implies affords have to be flying in. Now could be the time to select and select.
This being The Bias Listing, I get to precise my distaste for Maroon 5’s oeuvre. If I had it my manner, something even tangentially Ok-pop associated would keep removed from their model of whitebread blandness. Nevertheless, they’re insanely well-liked so from a business standpoint I assume this team-up is smart. And quite than stand as a Lisa single, Priceless may be very a lot a Maroon 5 observe she simply occurs to be part of. Even in that regard, the music is as banal as a cup of room temperature water. Its mild, vaguely funky instrumental positions itself within the background, as unobtrusive as pop music will get.
The melodies echo this flatness. Priceless is an early-summer vibe. Music to sit back to. By the point Lisa is available in for verse two, brandishing a mix of spoken phrase and vocals, I’m grateful for a brand new texture and trace of character. She’s simply the perfect factor about this music, and I assume that counts for one thing. But when she’s going to collaborate with extra western artists, I’d suggest focusing on performers with extra chew and one thing fascinating to say.
