We not often hear Ok-pop teams promote ballads anymore, normally making them a pre-release (in the event that they’re launched in any respect). A.C.E have a historical past of this method with their glorious 2020 observe Stand By You. They undoubtedly have the vocal firepower to tug it off, and particular single Anymore takes benefit of this talent.
Reasonably than Stand By You‘s anthemic heft, Anymore opts for a sparse association. The tune is little greater than acoustic guitar and vocal, carried out principally in English. And whenever you examine it to the strong custom of Korean OSTs, Anymore shares extra in widespread with pop music you may hear on the radio in Western international locations. The observe has a particular goal and executes that effectively, however for me to fall in love with a stripped again sound like this, I would like both an unimaginable, novel melody, affecting lyrics or a uniquely compelling efficiency. Anymore performs issues fairly protected, although it’s a pleasant showcase for a extra subdued model of A.C.E.
