WayV launched their first Japanese mini album all the best way again in the beginning of August, however weeks later they’ve unveiled a music video for its promoted monitor Go Greater. I’m unsure what the plan was behind this delay, aside from the truth that J-pop usually takes lengthy breaks between varied promotions. Both means, it’s good to have a visible to go together with the album.
When this tune was launched again in summer season, I didn’t suppose a lot of it. In reality, I haven’t listened to Go Greater since then so it feels virtually new. With that in thoughts, the energetic percussion strikes me as an immediate standout. The instrumental has nice kick, unafraid to go huge and daring. The verses are the strongest instance of this depth, although distorted guitar additionally makes a pleasant addition throughout the bridge.
Nonetheless, Go Greater fusses round an excessive amount of throughout its refrain. WayV borrows NCT’s abrasive soundscape for this phase, throwing their rhythm in a blender till it’s chopped and frenetic. This sonic shift corresponds with a extra aggressive, chanted vocal model. Somewhat than badass, the hook merely appears like a missed alternative. After I consider WayV, I think about a smoother vocal strategy. The refrain veers too near NCT 127’s shouty jackhammer assault for my style and Go Greater shortly loses focus. It’s form of a large number, which is a disgrace as a result of there are some nice parts hiding inside the manufacturing.
