Previous to their new mini album right now, Lucy unveiled their first single as a trio. Wakey Wakey was a cute, upbeat tune however nothing that stood out inside their discography. One would count on title monitor Hippo (하마) to go greater and bolder than its pre-release, however the guys have delivered a considerably understated comeback with a easy animated music video.
This tune looks like Lucy simply doing what they need, charts be damned. They know what they’re nice at they usually have a fan base devoted to their appreciable expertise. I’d rely myself among the many ranks of that fan base, however it’s been awhile since a brand new Lucy tune has hit me in the way in which their greatest work has. Hippo blends groovy verses with a sentimental refrain, distilling lots of the modes Lucy function greatest in. So, why isn’t it doing a lot for me? As standard, I believe all of it comes all the way down to melody. The verses right here really feel extra like riffing than a rigorously constructed construction, whereas the center of the tune (its refrain) makes up a relatively slight portion of the monitor. As at all times, Lucy sound improbable. However after I’m within the temper to hearken to their stuff, this is able to be fairly low on the record.
