This can be a repost of my “buried treasure” write-up for this music because it’s now been given a music video and further promotion. I don’t at all times repost these, however given BABYMONSTER’s reputation it is smart to push this again to the highest of the weblog. It additionally provides me an opportunity to re-evaluate the music, if needed. On this case, I don’t really feel too completely different about Psycho and my score hasn’t modified. It’s nonetheless well-within my most well-liked sound for the group and I like its crunchy electro textures. I really feel like they actually missed a chance not selling this earlier than Halloween, although!
ORIGINAL REVIEW
I’ll confess that I haven’t given BABYMONSTER’s albums a lot of an opportunity. Most of their songs have been promoted with music movies and few of them have appealed to me, so there’s not loads drawing me in. Nonetheless, new b-side Psycho captured me with its sound, drawing upon a number of components of previous Ok-pop generations.
After an unpromising intro, the music jolts into a giant electropop banger. I like the way it interpolates the long-lasting strings from the Psycho film to present the monitor spooky vitality. However most of all, I’m charmed by its massive, crunchy synths. It’s so good to listen to this sense of propulsion in a Ok-pop period that doesn’t often recognize it. Psycho is at its greatest when thumping with full energy. A second verse breakdown is unlucky, however the music shortly rights itself and retains chugging alongside towards a enjoyable finale. In relation to YG music buildings, climactic switch-ups have develop into so predictable. Nonetheless, this one works. It feels pure and thrilling. I feel we’d like a Halloween-themed music video earlier than the month ends!
