Simply two months after releasing his first full-length album, Doh Kyungsoo has returned with a particular digital single. Actually, they need to simply tack it onto that album and name this a “repackage” the best way Okay-pop used to do.
Both method, Kyungsoo’s discography can at all times do with extra energetic materials and Dumb sees him exploring crunchy guitar rock for the primary time. It’s not a style I instantly affiliate with him (his voice is so suited to r&b), however this model of tune advantages from robust vocals. With so many acts attempting their hand at rock music this yr, the market is starting to really feel stuffed. It takes a really particular tune to face out and Dumb doesn’t fairly get there for me. The music video is a purple herring, because it pads out the observe with a number of instrumental breaks. The precise audio is simply over two minutes in size, making Dumb a success and run presence.
There are many incredible two-minute punk classics, however these songs don’t fiddle. They create the depth proper from the beginning and by no means let up. Dumb has a extra lackadaisical power, bounding tentatively somewhat than going straight for the jugular. It’s a nice sufficient diversion, however I received’t bear in mind it in a month’s time.
