As is usually the case with J-pop singles, ENHYPEN’s Shine On Me has been obtainable for a number of weeks now, however at present it’s lastly paired with its half-animated, half-live motion music video. As a straight-down-the-middle ballad, the music presents a distinct texture for the group.
This type of lovelorn summer time ballad rears its head yearly round this time and works as good counterprogramming to the season’s extra energetic choices. It’s good to listen to ENHYPEN strip again the manufacturing and ship a observe targeted on vocal melody and robust sentiment. With that stated, there’s solely to date a music like this may stretch. It takes a fully breathtaking collection of melodies or a knock-your-socks-off efficiency for one thing like Shine On Me to be a standout on my playlist. With Okay-pop, that occurs as soon as in a blue moon and the temper in decidedly un-blue at present.
What we’re left with is a really nice pop observe that follows the HYBE soft-rock system. This might have simply as simply been carried out by teams like &TEAM or TXT with no actual change. I suppose that’s a testomony to the music’s sturdiness, but it surely additionally leads to a reasonably generic hear. Followers of the group will probably be thrilled to listen to ENHYPEN on this specific musical realm, so I assume that’s mission achieved in its personal manner.
