Right here’s the factor about Cortis: I actually wish to like their music. I believe REDRED is genuinely incredible and what I’ve seen of the members filling in for host duties on weekly music exhibits has been very charming. I like the concept of younger creators coming in to supply one thing a bit completely different than the norm. Nonetheless, I simply don’t assume the music has been good up to now. It tends to be both mind-numbingly obnoxious or a giant, boring nothingburger. I assume I choose the previous to the latter (regardless that my scores don’t all the time replicate that), however neither is a superb area to be.
Blue Lips matches squarely into the “massive, boring nothingburger” territory — although I’d strike the “massive” from that description. It’s a brief track, it’s an atmospheric track, and it’s finally a track that goes nowhere. If you happen to benefit from the sounds of artists mumble-singing over muted keys meant to evoke the concept of a “critical inventive assertion”, you’ll most likely take a liking to this. However with none actual songcraft or selection, this barely seems like a track in any respect. It’s an prolonged interlude at greatest, consisting of about one thought. The melodies — resembling they’re — are flat and repetitive and the monitor dissipates earlier than it even will get going. If Large Hit didn’t insist on selling these songs with music movies I most likely wouldn’t have written about this in any respect. In any case, there’s barely sufficient content material in Blue Lips to cowl!
