Track Evaluation: X:IN – RRRUN

I haven’t checked in with multinational lady group X:IN since 2024 on this weblog, although they’ve launched materials since then. Their early opinions ranged from a peak of 6.5 to a low of two.75 (!) for the unintentional comedy of 2024’s My Idol. I’d say they’ve nowhere else to go however up, however let’s see how they’re doing with new single RRRUN.

In Okay-pop, you’ll be able to’t simply “run.” You’ve received to RRRUN!! That title is extra in-your-face than the accompanying tune, which well harnesses an incessant groove for a “hip-sporty” (their phrases, not mine) idea that fits the women nicely. The tune is mild on melody, centered round a spoken refrain that traces the rhythm fairly than provide its personal spotlight. Even the rapped verses are largely simply exuberant sing-talk. It will little doubt hinder RRRUN‘s longevity, however the monitor is enjoyable sufficient whereas it’s taking part in.

For RRRUN, you simply have to deal with the groove and deal with every little thing else as window-dressing. I’m undecided that’s the most effective method in relation to getting listeners within the group themselves, however the instrumental pulls you together with ease. There are a couple of good vocal turns within the pre-chorus and through verse two, however it’s the general vitality makes that this a brand new peak in X:IN’s profession.

Grade: C+
