Forward of his new album, iKON’s Jay (aka: Jinhwan) pre-released We Can’t Clarify final week. That track didn’t do a lot for me, however title observe Obey promised edgier sounds.
Obey actually has some concepts, however the way in which they’re executed isn’t very satisfying. The observe begins promisingly sufficient, establishing a moody construct towards an anticipated payoff. As an alternative, we lurch right into a spoken phrase refrain and additional fracture momentum from there. This might work with a stronger and extra cohesive instrumental, however I’m not a fan of the central drop and there aren’t sufficient highlights surrounding it to tug me in (although the guitar-fueled climax comes shut).
