It’s getting tougher to resolve which songs to write down a evaluate for on this weblog. NiziU’s b-side What If (만약이라는 건 없어) is promoted by a “monitor video” in the present day, which is mainly a unique time period for a (considerably finances) music video. I’m undecided whether or not the group will likely be performing this on music exhibits and I don’t suppose it may be thought-about a “single” within the conventional sense, however the tune actually eclipses title monitor Love Line.
It’s enjoyable to listen to a lady group attempt their hand at a simple rock tune. On this sense, What If feels way more according to fashionable J-pop than Okay-pop, which isn’t shocking given NiziU’s roots. Not like Love Line, it is a sturdy showcase of their vocals and provides them a strong soundscape to play in. The tune lacks the megawatt hooks of a superb title monitor, however proves addictive in the long term due to its sturdy building and anthemic melodies. A extra distinctive contact would have raised What If‘s prospects, however for these searching for a timeless, wistful sound that is positively one of many stronger lady group tracks of the previous month.
