WHIB are again with their second mini album of the 12 months and their idea couldn’t be extra completely different than January’s Rock The Nation. Such is the case with idol teams attempting desperately to interrupt out: throw something you’ll be able to on the wall and hope to god that one thing sticks. This tends to be a dangerous sport as a result of should you’re unable to discover a real hit all you find yourself with is scattershot discography that’s too unfocused to garner an enduring fan base.
With Cherry Pie, the group has moved again to upbeat pop territory. This sound has given them their best possible single prior to now, however doesn’t work practically as effectively right here. With no distinctive tackle the shape, Cherry Pie is an extremely generic providing that sounds extra like a disposable Boys Planet mission tune than a chart-conquering comeback. The instrumental checks all of the anticipated packing containers: plonky percussion, whistled loop, and many others. The melody is buoyant however boring and the chirpy vocals do little to convey it to life. The tune will not be offensively dangerous, however I can’t think about why you’ll hearken to it when there are different acts who convey a way more individualized stamp to this sound.
