On this planet of foolish Ok-pop names, “SMORZ” is fairly cute but in addition ridiculous whenever you notice that it’s a mixture of “S’mores” and “Technology Z” and implies that you’ll need extra of… Gen Z? This mission group has debuted with an English-language EP, showcasing their world ambitions.
Ok-pop in English all the time offers me pause as a result of it means I’ve no alternative however to listen to and perceive the lyrics. This may pull down an in any other case tremendous observe, and that’s precisely what occurs with I Need You To. It’s like one step ahead, two steps again with this music. Whereas I’m so comfortable to listen to a lady group inject a little bit of brilliant, upbeat vitality into its method, this observe is about as generic as you may presumably get. The lyrics are so inane that you may’ve simply satisfied me AI wrote them. The women overuse a chirpy affectation to the purpose the place it turns into utterly ineffective, veering dangerously near Kidz Bop territory. And past this, I really feel like we’ve heard I Need You To earlier than. I can’t provide you with a direct comparability, however I swear these precise melodies exist in different pop songs — possibly even ones launched this yr.
General, I Need You To is totally innocent and will even discover a area of interest viewers, however I can’t discover a lot to advocate about it.
