We appear to be in Okay-pop’s period of “rage hip-hop,” because the style has slowly entrenched itself inside idol releases. To this point, this has largely been restricted to a boy group phenomenon, but it surely is smart that an act like Younger Posse would give it a attempt. In spite of everything, they’ve lined many hip-hop sub-genres already.
As I discussed when writing about releases from ENHYPEN, RIIZE and CORTIS, it is a tough one for me. I’m undecided I’ll ever take pleasure in something about this style, as I discover the sound claustrophobic, disagreeable and missing any actual melodic heft. To Visa‘s credit score, the manufacturing provides shimmering synths as a sonic counterpoint, giving the observe an virtually hyperpop attraction. Nonetheless, that is the one ingredient I take pleasure in inside its combative brew.
Others might disagree, however I discover Visa borderline unlistenable. There’s not a single second throughout this tune that I actively need to listen to. The vocals are shellacked in ugly filters from begin to end. The rapping feels extra like sing-shouting more often than not, following a predictable stream that brings nothing new to the desk. And in the case of “raging,” the beat isn’t even onerous sufficient to blow off any aggression. I truthfully can’t image a setting the place I’d put this on. In brief, I’m bewildered — however not in a enjoyable means. I’m certain there are some listeners who will go to bat for Visa just because it’s completely different. I suppose in the case of pop music, I’m only a bit extra fundamental than that.
