A Ok-pop act’s title observe isn’t all the time the most effective music on their album, even when it’s the one most individuals will hear. Typically, b-sides deserve recognition too. Within the singles-oriented world of Ok-pop, I need to highlight a few of these buried treasures and provides them the props they deserve.
It’s been awhile since I’ve featured a buried treasure with the sentiment that “this could undoubtedly have been the title observe.” Total, Ok-pop acts have been selecting the correct songs to advertise in 2025 and truthfully there simply haven’t been that many extraordinary b-sides. NouerA are one of many few teams to spawn a “9” rated b-side in 2025 and so they’ve finished it once more with Myself.
Full disclosure from me: a music with this sound is nearly assured to earn a “9” except it does one thing actually dumb. I simply love this frothy, excessive power home beat with a fully-sung, layered refrain. It’s a recipe that works extremely nicely — particularly throughout this time of 12 months. I get that Myself won’t adhere to NouerA’s idea as closely as a title observe ought to and I’ve truly come round to N (Quantity Of Circumstances)‘s jagged crunch fairly a bit over the previous few days, but when their company is feeling beneficiant and need to movie a follow-up music video I can’t consider a greater music to do it with. Myself is brisk, upbeat and extremely enjoyable. It confidently opens with its refrain, instantly recalling RIIZE’s Unattainable from final 12 months. The observe may very well be extra creative in its execution, however like I mentioned bias is robust with this style and I simply love listening to the power. The music additionally scores bonus factors for by no means dropping into some momentum-killing half-time lure breakdown.
