Given TWS’s unimaginable success final 12 months, there are worst track titles to debut with than “Plot Twist“! AtHeart have used the acquainted title for his or her first foray into the trade, although they teased us with a pre-debut earlier this 12 months. The group hails from Titan Content material — an American primarily based firm that appears to have huge ambitions for the longer term.
I’m undecided how I really feel about American firms moving into Ok-pop, but when the music’s good I received’t be capable to complain an excessive amount of. On this regard, Plot Twist isn’t memorable sufficient to sidestep considerations. Its sparse, atmospheric sound echoes 2025’s overriding lady group pattern, changing into one more entry on this seemingly neverending sequence of subdued fare. At its coronary heart, the track has a bit extra bounce to it than comparable efforts, underlined by an incessant digital beat (and annoying lure percussion that feels like a damaged toy). However like its many friends, the complete observe is carried out in monotone. The melody would possibly as nicely be a flat line, wafting by means of the track with out ever aiming for a memorable intestine punch.
It’s as if the whole lot of Plot Twist operates in one other dimension current just below our personal. Its flatness feels nearly subterranean, like one thing mole women and men are jamming to beneath our ft. I suppose this might need its personal attraction — particularly when performed on headphones — however the method is just too sleepy to work for me. I want they’d open the blinds and let some colour in.
