I’m not all the time an enormous fan of Okay-pop covers, however Baekho selected the right music in Elevator. The unique 1995 Park Jinyoung basic was a staple of the 90’s, but it by no means had an official music video and the music’s manufacturing is ripe for an replace. As influential as this evergreen hit is, you don’t hear it referenced all that usually in fashionable Okay-pop. It’s time to alter that!
Baekho does a superb job with Elevator. The producers have beefed up the beat, retaining its “new jack swing meets gangsta rap” origin however including further drive. It feels each nostalgic and recent. And whereas the unique performed issues fairly free with construction, this replace is taut and explosive. Rapped verses are changed with photographs of melody, delivered with panache that compliments the insistent rhythm. This distinction makes the chanted refrain much more efficient, fueled by its iconic brass riff. This is put your personal spin on a Okay-pop legend.
