Previous to this group comeback, One Pact launched an EP of solo tracks. I wrote about my favourite one right here. These songs are included on the brand new album alongside just a few new group tracks. Sure, No, Possibly acts because the title and gives a brand new idea for the blokes.
Although I wasn’t initially gained over, February’s 100 was a stealth grower on my playlist, buoyed by enjoyable performances on music exhibits. Sure, No, Possibly isn’t precisely “enjoyable” in the identical means, and I worry which will restrict its capacity to develop. The blokes have opted for a extra R&B flavored mid-tempo this time. Chugging percussion meets 90’s g-funk synth for a boppy backdrop assured to get your head nodding. This manufacturing hits a candy spot for me, drawing upon many retro parts with out feeling like a complete pastiche.
I’m much less enthused by the track thrown on high of this instrumental. At first, Sure, No, Possibly‘s rapid-fire, staccato supply grabs consideration, however I discover myself tuning out because the track goes on. I can’t fairly put my finger on why, however I believe it has to do with a scarcity of selection within the melodies. The songwriting has solely trick and makes use of it for 3 minutes straight, making an initially-thrilling prospect really feel a bit monotonous as soon as the track has completed. The blokes pull off the vibe simply wonderful, however Sure, No, Possibly doesn’t fairly strike gold the way in which it needs to.
