Over time, Tremendous Junior has had a number of sub-units and solos. Like… a LOT. 83z is their seventh official sub-unit, bringing collectively members Leeteuk and Heechul. From what I can collect, the 2 share a ardour for nostalgic popular culture and the basic, upbeat OST sound of debut single Promise (너를 위한 약속) backs that up.
That is the form of fully toothless Okay-pop monitor that sounds good however leaves no actual mark. Its sound strongly references rock-tinged summer time fare of years (and a long time) previous, bringing to thoughts a band efficiency on a seaside stage with an viewers of excited college students with their faculty uniforms barely askew. The manufacturing and songwriting is sound and the fellows’ voices work very well collectively (I like the harmonies!), however the music is just too middle-of-the-road to do a lot past present a pleasing, toe-tapping backdrop. I do benefit from the second towards the top the place the instrumental drops out and we’re left with solely voice and handclaps. Promise might do with extra of those dynamic switch-ups.
