Music Overview: CSR – Greater

With so many Ok-pop acts releasing Japanese materials this week, CSR’s Greater nearly obtained misplaced within the shuffle. However a day late, it’s time to characteristic the track. This shortly follows their newest Korean comeback, launched only some weeks in the past.

If ever there was a bunch primed for the Japanese market, it must be CSR of their debut period. Their shiny sound borrowed from J-pop influences very similar to GFriend earlier than them, however the group has since gone on to undertake a extra “mature” idea. Greater continues that evolution, mixing their previous and future into an unsteady combine. There are factors the place the track exhibits promise — specifically the bounding refrain and post-chorus. Sadly, the vocals listed below are tough and the execution doesn’t hit with the facility it must. I can hear the nice track that may have been, combating to claw its method out from Greater‘s mediocre association. A bit extra focus and polish might simply flip this round.
