Monsta X’s Joohoney has simply launched his second mini album, although he’s additionally put out a handful of mixtapes over time. This follows digital pre-release Push, which didn’t seize consideration regardless of a notable team-up with IVE’s Rei. Now, he’s again with an much more notable function — legendary boxer Muhammad Ali within the type of his iconic “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” audio clip.
And… that’s all you really want to find out about this tune. It’s gimmicky, cribbing that well-known quote as its spoken-word refrain and surrounding it with an unsightly synth loop. Elsewhere, the monitor blends rock manufacturing with Joohoney’s hard-hitting rap. It’s not a very pleasant hear in any approach, as he spends more often than not shouting at listeners to show his resolve. However when it comes right down to it, I simply can’t get previous that refrain. It’s just like the audio model of an affordable t-shirt with some tacky, overused motivational phrase written on it. I suppose Sting may get you pumped as much as go to the health club, however I can’t think about listening to it in another context.
