The apostrophe-averse Child DONT Cry debuted earlier this 12 months with two promoted songs and a enjoyable, upbeat sound in want of growth. A number of months later, they’re again with the defiant I DONT CARE. Music apart, it’s change into clear that the group’s administration doesn’t care in regards to the guidelines of capitalization and punctuation. I’d love to listen to a track about that!
Fortunately, they do care about huge synth riffs, and I DONT CARE is anchored by a bounding loop that helps craft an thrilling centerpiece. We’ve heard a surplus of icy synth in Okay-pop over the previous 5 years, however it nonetheless packs a punch if used nicely. I DONT CARE is generally a catchy pop/rock monitor, however that added texture provides it a welcome sheen. Nevertheless, after I hear an instrumental like this I really need your entire track to match its scope.
That is the place I DONT CARE falters a bit. Other than its huge refrain, the monitor follows predictable traces and sometimes sputters right into a lower-than-anticipated power. Distinction generally is a highly effective device in a producer’s repertoire, however that’s not what’s taking place right here. As an alternative, the track merely segues into verses which can be uninteresting and (surprisingly) overlong. However, that’s the wonderful thing about a refrain. They repeat usually, and every time I DONT CARE‘s hook comes round we’re again in enterprise. Subsequent time, I hope Child DONT Cry discover a approach to prolong this thrilling spirit.
