I take pleasure in studying concerning the that means behind the names of recent Okay-pop acts — particularly the stranger ones. As anticipated, “CrazAngel” is a mix of “loopy” and “angel,” which is kind of humorous by itself when taken actually. It additionally means “Craze on Stage, Angel in Life,” which feels just like the PG model of a well-liked phrase I received’t repeat right here. At any charge, CrazAngel make their debut immediately with digital single I’m Simply Me.
You are simply you, CrazAngel. And water is moist and immediately is Thursday. Nothing about I’m Simply Me screams “craze on stage,” however its thumping dance beat is an efficient little bit of enjoyable when it will get going. Like so many different Okay-pop tracks, the tune can’t resist dipping and diving by way of a ton of vitality shifts. This stymies I’m Simply Me‘s try to completely click on, which is a disgrace as a result of the indifferent vocal and thumping beat supply a nonchalant tackle the dance style that might actually work. I additionally take pleasure in the best way the refrain amps up because the vocals stay stubbornly aloof. I don’t know if this distinction was intentional or just a results of inexperience, but it surely offers I’m Simply Me a singular taste.
The spoken verses aren’t fairly as enjoyable and at simply over two minutes the tune feels extra like a diversion than a totally fleshed out venture. Nonetheless, that is the type of debut that embraces its personal nugudom in a profitable approach. It’s meme-ready with out ever being cloying or apparent. This will likely simply turn out to be the important thing to CrazAngel’s success.
