A Ok-pop act’s title observe isn’t all the time one of the best track on their album, even when it’s the one most individuals will hear. Generally, b-sides deserve recognition too. Within the singles-oriented world of Ok-pop, I wish to highlight a few of these buried treasures and provides them the props they deserve.
I’m unsure you possibly can name Korea’s official World Cup cheering anthem a “buried treasure,” however TWS’s Dream With Us doesn’t have a music video (but?) and I’m not going to go up an opportunity to put in writing about it in no matter format I must. I don’t know a lot concerning the World Cup regardless of it going down in my yard this yr, so it will doubtless be the one associated piece of media that shall be touching my life.
To me, Dream With Us sounds extra like a sprightly OST for a youth drama, much like the OST efforts TWS launched final summer season. It’s a pounding, feel-good rock observe with an optimistic vitality and melodies that really feel immediately acquainted. On this manner, the track comes throughout as extra generic than most of TWS’s materials, however as regular their efficiency imbues it with a selected tone distinctive to them. I actually benefit from the refrain, which delivers a hovering chorus punctuated by jubilant exclamation marks. That is echoed by incessant percussion and waves of electrical guitar. Moderately than a soccer match (which I’d most likely by no means attend, to be sincere), Dream With Us feels primed to echo out of my automobile stereo on summertime drives. I’ll gladly take it!
