It’s a day of boy group dancefloor thumpers, with each 82MAJOR and Shut Your Eyes releasing talk-heavy dance tracks. 82MAJOR are extra carefully related to hip-hop, so whereas this transformation is sensible it’s nonetheless a notable change in manufacturing type.
Trophy (트로피) continues to be very a lot a hip-hop monitor however with added membership bounce. This works to the group’s benefit, as they’re given alternative to showcase each their movement and vocals. And, it appeals to listeners like me who’re sick of rap being robotically tied to overused lure beats. With that stated, Trophy suffers from the identical difficulty that plagues so many tracks of this nature. Instead of a correct refrain, the composers have chosen a collection of mechanized, spoken phrases. I’m desperately ready for this pattern to finish as a result of it’s neutering so many songs which have potential to be higher.
Given 82MAJOR’s discography to this point, this method isn’t solely shocking. However when the overwhelming majority of your monitor is devoid of melodic hooks, you should rely solely on unbelievable movement and/or dynamite star energy to interact the listener. In comparison with their previous work, neither side is ready to overtake the pounding electro percussion on Trophy. This leads to one more fleeting dance monitor that can wrestle to face the check of time as its hooks fade from reminiscence.
