Late final month, new Korean-American trio RE:WIND stunned me with their incredible pre-release RE:SET. It’s so enjoyable when an act bounds out of the gate with sturdy materials. This monitor set the stage for his or her debut single Ceaselessly, however sadly I don’t discover myself as shocked this time.
This can be a powerful one as a result of I completely love what the group is making an attempt to do right here. I’ve typically mentioned there’s an enormous gap within the Okay-pop marketplace for the sort of slamming, post-New-Jack-Swing teen pop that dominated the early-2000’s. Ceaselessly clearly takes its cues from acts as large as Backstreet Boys and Nsync and as area of interest as A1 and Youngstown. This has my title written throughout it, however the execution leaves quite a bit to be desired.
My principal problem right here is the manufacturing on the vocals. The fellows’ voices are slathered with results to the purpose the place each line feels like mush. This immediately contrasts with the sharp type they’re making an attempt and makes for an especially irritating pay attention. It’s too unhealthy, as a result of the precise tune is sort of sturdy however this method makes the top product really feel overly newbie. A easy re-recording might elevate this so simply.
