It’s a really gradual week (month) for Okay-pop, so whereas I won’t normally cowl a “monitor video” just like the one selling Kang Daniel’s new music Backseat Guarantees, a dearth of latest materials has compelled my hand. However typically, a compelled hand could be a reward in disguise. I’m glad I gave this monitor a pay attention.
For me, Kang Daniel’s materials has been very hit or miss — extra typically touchdown within the “miss” class. I don’t discover his tone all that participating (it at all times sounds muffled, like he’s swallowing his phrases), however that sound works nicely on extra indie-minded materials. Backseat Guarantees is a subdued dance monitor, laying smooth melodies over a bouncy beat pushed by satisfying digital textures. It’s extra sprightly than anticipated and paints a pleasant temper. I’d choose a extra memorable refrain, however this isn’t the form of monitor to seize you by the collar and demand consideration. It’s extra of a vibe.
