MiSO isn’t the form of massive title I might often write about, however typically a music warrants protection even when most individuals have by no means heard of the artist. She was a member of the hilariously-named group Ladies Ladies, who I really wrote about all the way in which again through the first yr of this weblog. Since then, she’s gone on to solo work and launched new single Highlight immediately.
Whereas there are some things holding me again from loving this music, the rationale I needed to highlight it’s that it follows the ultra-propulsive Navillera/Chaser sound we not often (if ever) hear in Okay-pop anymore. The complete observe is one lengthy stretch of acceleration, egged alongside by electrical guitar and bounding percussion. This template occurs to be my favourite Okay-pop (and J-pop) trope ever, so any music that attracts upon it’s nearly assured an 8+ ranking.
On the subject of Highlight, the melodies aren’t robust sufficient to meet its potential and the vocal association/execution leaves one thing to be desired. For lack of a greater description, it’s clear that is the Navillera template on a funds, however I need to give MiSO main props for trying the sound in any respect. We have to hear extra of this in trendy Okay-pop!
