Baekhyun has performed sufficient wonderful issues with EXO to warrant a gentle stream of write-ups on this weblog, even when his solo music has not often linked with me. I hate coming right into a tune figuring out that I in all probability received’t prefer it, although I’m at all times open (and hoping) to having my thoughts modified. R&B is a good style for Baekhyun to discover, however I don’t perceive why can’t he discover songs that harness this sound effectively.
Right here’s the factor about style. Clearly, I’ve genres I want over others. All of us do. However when it comes down it, the elements of a very good tune persist throughout style traces. I search for melody, texture and a construction that builds towards moments of thrilling (or emotional) climax. Baekhyun brings texture and vibe together with his vocals alone, however Lemonade sputters as a tune. It’s largely composed of the identical melodic chorus repeated in roughly the identical manner, missing a robust sense of storytelling. Like so many different tracks of the second, this can be a vibe looking for a tune. Its effectiveness will hinge upon how a lot you take pleasure in spending time with Baekhyun’s voice. However even then, I’d argue there are much more participating musical alternatives to understand this similar expertise.
