Tune Assessment: fromis_9 – From

I don’t normally write a track evaluate except there’s an accompanying music video, however a disbandment (?) single warrants at the least a quick point out. I put an enormous query mark in that final sentence as a result of it’s unclear whether or not fromis_9 will stay collectively after leaving Pledis Leisure, although historical past doesn’t set a rosy precedent.

This departure happens simply after the group’s latest single Supersonic discovered rising chart success. It’s been clear for awhile that fromis_9 have what it takes to be one of many trade’s main lady teams, however that by no means gave the impression to be the plan when it got here to promotion. So, we have now digital single From to cap a discography stuffed with highlights.

Instantly upon urgent “play,” I used to be happy to listen to that From isn’t some sappy ballad. As an alternative, the track has a surging synthpop sound — atmospheric and mawkish however powered by an upbeat power. There’s a heat to each the vocals and manufacturing that fits the track nicely and eases the ache of this large transition. It’s good to listen to such an easy efficiency, pushed purely by vocal melody with sufficient vary to maintain issues fascinating.
