Fifty Fifty’s debut album was a pleasing shock, providing a wide range of types with constant songwriting and execution. Title observe Greater wasn’t probably the most immediately participating alternative for promotion, however it endured properly over time. Its languid power frames new single Cupid, although the women have subdued their sound even additional this time round. Their burgeoning discography is creating a pleasant vibe, however I worry it might veer too carefully towards coffeeshop/lounge music for my style.
Cupid matches neatly inside two current Okay-pop traits. It’s received a little bit of metropolis pop sheen, although positively on the lower-energy aspect of the style. And, it harnesses a vibey, minimalist fashion that compliments lots of the buzziest lady group tracks of the second. Cupid is certainly “cool,” no matter which means. However, is it any enjoyable to hearken to?
The reply is sure – in locations. The refrain has a stunning sense of carry that will have flourished if supported by extra daring manufacturing. The group’s vocal concord is an actual deal with and so they pull off this trendy sound very nicely. I can think about Cupid as excellent background music for a wide range of actions. However, I’m undecided it can get pleasure from the identical longevity as Greater. The tune performs an excessive amount of like a flat line to really grip my consideration. It’s relentlessly nice and melodically satisfying in locations. I simply want I might level to 1 ore extra standout moments which have me racing to press replay. With so many of those vibe-focused songs on the charts proper now, I worry Cupid threatens to mix in with the competitors.
