One factor about JYP teams is that they’re at all times going to be very prolific. KickFlip debuted simply over a yr in the past and are already on their fourth mini album. That frequency and consistency has shortly constructed a catalog of music that feels distinctive to them. I’m loving their youthful pop/rock sound and am blissful that the company appears to help this musical course. Final month’s Twenty proved to be a giant grower and title monitor Eye-Poppin’ (눈에 거슬리고 싶어) feels primed to comply with in these footsteps.
KickFlip songs have turn out to be recognized for unbelievable choruses. Even when the connective tissue between these hooks generally falters, you possibly can at all times depend on one other huge chorus ready simply across the nook. Such is the case with Eye-Poppin’. There are moments within the verses that really feel too throwaway for my liking, however the refrain is hermetic. It’s rambunctious and correctly energetic, centered round a memorable melodic point of interest that pulls the entire music collectively.
Due to this, Eye-Poppin’ takes a second to get going. Its opening verse takes no fascinating turns, making it really feel extraneous slightly than thrilling. The producers have been smart to shorten the second verse and sandwich it between highlights, as a result of as soon as we’re a couple of minute into the music it’s a lot enjoyable that you just overlook about its rocky begin. I predict I’ll be taking part in this lots over the following few weeks.
