I get pleasure from studying concerning the which means behind the names of recent Ok-pop acts — particularly the stranger ones. As anticipated, “CrazAngel” is a mixture of “loopy” and “angel,” which is sort of humorous by itself when taken actually. It additionally means “Craze on Stage, Angel in Life,” which feels just like the PG model of a well-liked phrase I received’t repeat right here. At any charge, CrazAngel make their debut immediately with digital single I’m Simply Me.
You are simply you, CrazAngel. And water is moist and immediately is Thursday. Nothing about I’m Simply Me screams “craze on stage,” however its thumping dance beat is an efficient little bit of enjoyable when it will get going. Like so many different Ok-pop tracks, the music can’t resist dipping and diving via a ton of vitality shifts. This stymies I’m Simply Me‘s try to totally click on, which is a disgrace as a result of the indifferent vocal and thumping beat provide a nonchalant tackle the dance style that would actually work. I additionally get pleasure from the way in which the refrain amps up because the vocals stay stubbornly aloof. I don’t know if this distinction was intentional or just a results of inexperience, but it surely provides I’m Simply Me a novel taste.
The spoken verses aren’t fairly as enjoyable and at simply over two minutes the music feels extra like a diversion than a completely fleshed out venture. Nonetheless, that is the sort of debut that embraces its personal nugudom in a profitable method. It’s meme-ready with out ever being cloying or apparent. This will simply turn into the important thing to CrazAngel’s success.
