A Okay-pop act’s title observe isn’t at all times the perfect music on their album, even when it’s the one most individuals will hear. Typically, b-sides deserve recognition too. Within the singles-oriented world of Okay-pop, I need to highlight a few of these buried treasures and provides them the props they deserve.
Not too way back (2021, to be precise), I used to be impressed to jot down a track-by-track evaluation of a Key album. Oh, I want these days would return! I’m so pissed off by Key’s current output (Hunter however). I do know what he’s able to and he looks as if one of many few idols who genuinely loves full-on pop music, however this new album tempers its trendy manufacturing with extremely bland melodies/songwriting. The place. Are. The. Hooks?!?
General, the album’s an enormous go for me however I nonetheless wished to spotlight one among its stronger songs. Glam will get closest to replicating the colourful, energetic enchantment of Key’s greatest work, even when it’s held again by (you guessed it) uninteresting melodies that function means an excessive amount of predictable sing-talk. Nonetheless, the refrain is good in a simple means and the staccato beat that follows jogs my memory of his bandmate Taemin’s glorious Guess Who. Even so, it looks like Glam may go twice as huge and daring and be all the higher for it. As a listener, I crave ambition and a way of scale. If anybody can present that, it’s Key. So, let’s get on with it!
