Upon the discharge of LE SSERAFIM’s most up-to-date album, the observe Eve, Psyche & The Bluebeard’s Spouse appeared to spark lots of on-line dialogue. So, I’m not shocked it’s been given a music video and follow-up promotions. Whereas Unforgiven assaults with its central catchphrase, Eve maintains the trendy — virtually monotone — air of the group’s debut Fearless. I desire this sound from LE SSERAFIM, however I discover Eve too one-note to actually stand out.
Within the feedback part of Unforgiven‘s overview, I made the next commentary:
“I might examine LE SSERAFIM’s profession to date to an advert in an upscale style journal. It’s glossy and classy and purports to be deep/significant. However, finally it’s designed to promote one thing that has little to do with the music.”
This sounds a bit judgmental, particularly since this identical method is leveraged by so many Ok-pop acts of LE SSERAFIM’s era. Fashion is vital, and a great earworm is an efficient earworm — even when the complete music doesn’t hit with as a lot lethality. Eve, Psyche & The Bluebeard’s Spouse casts a hypnotic 90’s-inspired groove, and the carnality of its power is kind of addicting. The feel of the group’s vocals solely enhances this environment. However, this style has been well-trodden over the previous few years and it takes a really particular music to face out. Eve is pleasurable throughout. Nevertheless, it lacks the peaks and valleys that coloration probably the most legendary dance tracks. As an alternative, a lot of the hook revolves round “get it like growth growth growth.” The lyrics are delivered with a simple sense of runway-strut cool and the beat is sure to get your head nodding. For me, the music simply doesn’t push far sufficient past its trendy veneer.
