Tune Assessment: AB6IX – Silly

AB6IX are like Okay-pop’s “little engine that would.” They’re far previous their business peak, but hold churning out new music with regularity. And, that music usually carries an upbeat power that makes it really feel as if the group is simply getting began. New single Silly takes an emotive method, recalling Okay-pop’s early efforts in pulling rock music into its orbit.

In case you informed me this was a long-lost demo from 2012, I’d imagine you. Silly has the surging, polished sound of early-2010’s classics like 2NE1’s Ugly — effortlessly anthemic whilst its edges are smoothed right into a positive pop product. I’ll all the time take pleasure in this sound as a result of it’s so straightforward to take pleasure in. It’s melodically catchy, effusively produced and carries simply sufficient power to leap round to. So even when Silly is the very definition of “generic,” it’s generic in the way in which consolation meals is.

The tune can also be refreshingly full. At nearly three and a half minutes, it provides itself area to incorporate all the required components to make a observe like this work. Its verses harness a number of ranges of power whereas the prolonged pre-chorus affords a pleasant sense of construct. The refrain feels a bit rote by comparability, however that’s the place the “consolation meals” analogy is available in. You recognize the place Silly is headed at each flip and are joyful sufficient to go alongside for the trip.
