Twice are not any strangers to fan songs. In reality, their profession has been one lengthy ode to their followers. I can’t consider one other group who has constantly catered to followers’ style and musical expectations in addition to Twice have. That’s to not say they haven’t experimented right here and there with sound and magnificence, however their discography has all the time felt particularly devoted towards giving their followers precisely what they need. I like this, even when a sure music or album won’t be to my liking.
ME+YOU is an precise fan music, designed to have fun Twice’s tenth anniversary. As such, it spends most of its time being fluffy and nice reasonably than stretching itself in any novel instructions. The manufacturing continues to attract upon the bubbly r&b/pop of the late 90s that made an enormous impression on their final mini album. This can be a sound that’s very nostalgic for me and immediately earns ME+YOU bonus factors whilst I acknowledge that the music itself isn’t all that attention-grabbing.
There’s a satisfying smoothness to the melodies and efficiency, however I’m craving a deeper groove. On its face, the manufacturing seeks to duplicate the futuristic, skittering She’kspere/Darkchild type of so many nice late-90s classics, however you may inform it’s a knockoff. The facsimile is powerful sufficient to elicit heat emotions however doesn’t fairly hit the highs (or undulating lows) it must. General, it’s an inessential Twice music that’s additionally unimaginable to dislike.
