Final yr, Kingdom added a “The,” capitalized their “D” and launched one mini album earlier than taking a prolonged hiatus. All of it looks as if a lot ado about nothing, and the title of particular single Final Flower (화월가) makes me a bit involved for his or her future. Nonetheless, it’s good to see them revert again to the historic cosplay that first made them an fascinating group.
Again in that period, I usually commented how I beloved their idea and imaginative and prescient however the music itself left me chilly. We’re again in that realm with Final Flower. Its conventional instrumentation is a deal with and the prolonged vocal strains add a palpable sense of drama, however strip away the association and also you’re left with a fairly unmemorable music. The refrain has satisfying heft that grows stronger as Final Flower blooms and eventually crests in a percussice climax. Nonetheless, it’s all rather a lot simpler to understand that totally love as a pop music. It feels far more like a stage you’d see at a Korean cultural pageant.
