Music Overview: Jay Chang (One Pact) – Increased

Alongside along with his work in One Pact, Jay Chang has had a facet profession as a soloist. This is sensible given his abilities as a vocalist. Not many idols can successfully drive a whole tune on their very own, however his voice has the polish and weight to make any materials compelling. He’s already tried his hand at a number of completely different genres, and new single Increased takes him into groovier territory.

These sort of bass-driven, midtempo tracks are a dime a dozen in Okay-pop — particularly from male soloists. I are likely to lose curiosity by the second verse just because I’ve heard this actual template so many instances. One factor that makes Increased a bit completely different is its regular kick. That is largely because of the backing of an precise band, which fills out the percussion past the standard slinky pattern we normally hear. This alone buoys Increased‘s prospects and Chang’s easy vocal additional heightens the tune’s attraction. It’s an instance of so-so materials being elevated by its execution. I don’t understand how typically I’ll return to this, however I’d nonetheless name it successful.
