Boy group WEi have earned some added clout this 12 months because of their youngest member Junseo making it by means of the ultimate of Boys II Planet and into the debuting group Alpha Drive One. In fact, this doesn’t routinely assist the remainder of WEi since meaning he and his recognition are working elsewhere in the interim. New comeback Dwelling sees the group reconfigured as a quintet.
WEi are a type of mid-to-low tier teams who launch music annually however haven’t been capable of finding the form of breakout wanted to determine them past their core fanbase. As an off-the-cuff listener myself, I can’t level to any defining facet of their music or sound. They’ve had good songs, they’ve had dangerous songs, however they haven’t but had a music that feels distinctive to them. Dwelling lies nearer to “good” than “dangerous,” however is stymied by that very same situation of generic boy group tropes.
This sentimental, mid-tempo monitor is (refreshingly) constructed round melody, although the refrains are fairly plug-and-play pseudo-anthemic radio fodder. It’s the form of music that would have been launched any time this previous decade with out a lot change. We’ve obtained some jagged, Chainsmokers synths, a canned “woah oh oh” sing-chant and loads of emotive crooning. The blokes carry out it nicely, however with none recent and thrilling calling card Dwelling threatens to fade into the background.
