It is a repost of my “buried treasure” write-up for this tune because it’s now been given a music video and additional promotion. I don’t all the time repost these, however given BABYMONSTER’s recognition it is sensible to push this again to the highest of the weblog. It additionally offers me an opportunity to re-evaluate the tune, if obligatory. On this case, I don’t really feel too completely different about Psycho and my score hasn’t modified. It’s nonetheless well-within my most popular sound for the group and I really like its crunchy electro textures. I really feel like they actually missed a possibility not selling this earlier than Halloween, although!
ORIGINAL REVIEW
I’ll confess that I haven’t given BABYMONSTER’s albums a lot of an opportunity. Most of their songs have been promoted with music movies and few of them have appealed to me, so there’s not quite a bit drawing me in. Nevertheless, new b-side Psycho captured me with its sound, drawing upon a number of parts of previous Okay-pop generations.
After an unpromising intro, the tune jolts into an enormous electropop banger. I really like the way it interpolates the long-lasting strings from the Psycho film to offer the monitor spooky vitality. However most of all, I’m charmed by its large, crunchy synths. It’s so good to listen to this sense of propulsion in a Okay-pop period that doesn’t often recognize it. Psycho is at its finest when thumping with full energy. A second verse breakdown is unlucky, however the tune rapidly rights itself and retains chugging alongside towards a enjoyable finale. In the case of YG tune buildings, climactic switch-ups have develop into so predictable. Nevertheless, this one works. It feels pure and thrilling. I feel we want a Halloween-themed music video earlier than the month ends!
