(G)I-DLE’s Minnie pre-released a track from her new album earlier this month and now its title monitor HER has been unveiled as she makes her official solo debut. She’s the fourth member of the group to enterprise out on her personal, and slightly than reinvent the wheel HER seems like one thing you’d hear on any (G)I-DLE album.
Very like Blind Eyes Crimson, I’m not the audience for this track. It’s the newest in an extended line (infinite, actually…) of “You suppose you understand how superior I’m however you actually don’t” Ok-pop songs — a lyrical conceit so well-trodden it earns an immediate eye roll from me. At this level it simply feels empty, going by means of the anticipated motions with out precise funding within the idea.
Musically, HER echoes so many western pop tropes of the second. From its vocal quirks to the smooth bassline to the atmospheric synth, you can hear this on any world Spotify playlist. This familiarity could assist ingratiate the track to a large viewers, nevertheless it doesn’t really feel distinctive to Minnie or Ok-pop as a complete. The refrain is slight and repetitive and the monitor maintains a boring power all through. There’s no sense of modulation or progress, only a thumping remoteness that does Minnie no favors as an artist.
