Rookies Child DONT Cry have a brand new mini album on the horizon, however like so lots of their friends they’re kicking off promotions with a pre-release. I loved their final title monitor I DONT CARE fairly a bit and Shapeshifter continues its pop-forward sound, sadly leaving the anthemic synths behind.
The power is much less bombastic this time round, choosing a leisurely pop sound with a collection of (form) shifting tempos. Of those moments, the refrain is most sprightly and pleasantly melodic. Nevertheless, this chorus deserves a stronger instrumental supporting it. The manufacturing adjustments right here, however stays considerably faceless. There’s simply not a lot oomph to the association, and with Child DONT Cry’s mild, ethereal vocals excessive I’m struggling to search out a lot to latch onto.
Due to this, we’re left with a pleasing (and pleasantly toothless) pop music that’s cosplaying perspective with out serving up a lot precise verve. The bones of Shapeshifter are strong. It simply wants extra attention-grabbing execution.
