After breaking into the massive leagues final yr, QWER have been a dependable fixture on the Korean charts. Korea loves a rock band with a unusual, indie sound and QWER fill a void. So far as chart success is anxious, they really feel like the feminine DAY6 in the meanwhile. Along with their off-kilter materials, the group is greater than able to rattling off an easy ballad. Particular single Blue Whale (흰수염고래) has all of the hallmarks of one other hit — most likely as a result of it’s been one earlier than. The track is a canopy of the 2011 unique by well-known rock band YB.
Whereas I don’t have a ton of house for this fashion of monitor in my private music library, I respect the sort of rock ballad that takes its time to construct towards emotional peaks. Blue Whale might not reinvent any wheels, nevertheless it traces its method via the tracks of its affect in a studied, efficient method. Blue Whale is one lengthy train in construct, beginning hushed and ending with extra gusto. There’s not one second of giant climax, however the track’s snowballing impact retains listeners engaged and emphasizes its message of encouragement. We will all use a track like this in our lives occasionally, and it’s pretty to listen to QWER honor considered one of Okay-pop’s most legendary rock acts.
