A Ok-pop act’s title observe isn’t all the time the perfect music on their album, even when it’s the one most individuals will hear. Generally, b-sides deserve recognition too. Within the singles-oriented world of Ok-pop, I wish to highlight a few of these buried treasures and provides them the props they deserve.
Vanner’s Veni Vidi Vici is the newest in a string of unbelievable boy group mini albums this month. You would play the brand new albums from NINE.i, TAN, The Boyz and Vanner again to again with out having to skip a single observe. That consistency could be very refreshing, and makes it arduous to select a buried treasure! I really like the old-school Ok-pop sound of Need U Again and needed to look again to see if I’d written about 2020 single Kind (I didn’t) as a result of the album’s up to date model is a lot enjoyable.
Nevertheless, my favourite b-side needs to be the funky stomper TBH. It’s acquired nice tactile pressure in its beat, assured from the get-go. And relatively than strip issues again from there, the observe bursts right into a pinwheel of a refrain that enlists glowing synths and a two-pronged melody to craft a simple spotlight. TBH isn’t reinventing the wheel, nevertheless it retains its foot firmly on gasoline. The hooks are enjoyable to sing together with — easy, memorable and delivered with a joyful power. There’s an actual aptitude to the efficiency.
