Along with precise debuts, “pre-debuts” have develop into a factor for Okay-pop idols. I’m not solely certain what the purpose is aside from constructing hype with out taking an enormous monetary danger, however the extra music we get the higher so I can’t complain. I.MET.U is an upcoming lady group from (checks notes) TikTok survival collection Time Turner. Sure, TikTok.
With this info, you would possibly anticipate Velvet Set off to final about twenty seconds. If truth be told, the music shouldn’t be solely full but additionally assured and thrilling. I’d go so far as saying this is among the 12 months’s greatest lady group debuts… besides it’s not really a debut! Forgoing a lot of the trade’s present tendencies, the music opts for a synth-soaked dance beat that’s a bit retro however principally simply refined and trendy. Refreshingly, Velvet Set off is sung right through, anchored by a deceptively catchy hook that spotlights the women’ heat tones.
Whereas the monitor is not going to win any awards for originality, its modern dance power may be very welcome in Okay-pop. The manufacturing has a easy, timeless attraction, selecting sounds that can work simply as properly ten years from now as they do within the second. The identical might be stated for the group’s unaffected efficiency. It’s simple in one of the simplest ways and hints at nice potential going ahead. I don’t understand how many individuals will hear this music given their company’s restricted attain, however I’m undoubtedly rooting for his or her success.
