AB6IX are like Ok-pop’s “little engine that might.” They’re far previous their business peak, but maintain churning out new music with regularity. And, that music usually carries an upbeat vitality that makes it really feel as if the group is simply getting began. New single Silly takes an emotive strategy, recalling Ok-pop’s early efforts in pulling rock music into its orbit.
For those who instructed me this was a long-lost demo from 2012, I’d consider you. Silly has the surging, polished sound of early-2010’s classics like 2NE1’s Ugly — effortlessly anthemic whilst its edges are smoothed right into a fantastic pop product. I’ll all the time get pleasure from this sound as a result of it’s so simple to get pleasure from. It’s melodically catchy, effusively produced and carries simply sufficient vitality to leap round to. So even when Silly is the very definition of “generic,” it’s generic in the way in which consolation meals is.
The track can also be refreshingly full. At virtually three and a half minutes, it provides itself house to incorporate all the mandatory elements to make a observe like this work. Its verses harness a number of ranges of vitality whereas the prolonged pre-chorus gives a pleasant sense of construct. The refrain feels a bit rote by comparability, however that’s the place the “consolation meals” analogy is available in. You realize the place Silly is headed at each flip and are glad sufficient to go alongside for the trip.
