H1-KEY quietly launched certainly one of my favourite songs and albums of final 12 months with their summery Lovestruck EP. Now, they’re again to have fun their anniversary with a really completely different sound. Not Like A Film (세상은 영화 같지 않더라) takes benefit of their robust vocals however doesn’t do a lot else that feels notable.
Mid-tempo tracks like this are a dime a dozen in Okay-pop and infrequently relegated to the second half of albums to be carried out in cute outfits at fan live shows. Or… they’re launched as anniversary singles with restricted promotion. As ordinary with H1-KEY, the music is sung very effectively however that’s not sufficient to make it compelling. The verses float by with restricted melodic attraction regardless of the women actually going for it and delivering some highly effective notes. In the meantime, the refrain is sentimental sludge repeating the times of the week in an immediately acquainted (then, immediately forgettable) chant-sung hook. I in all probability received’t hear once more until they tack this onto one other robust album and it will get performed by default.
