It’s turn into frequent for idol acts to launch particular music movies after promotions finish for his or her title observe. This permits the albums an extended cycle and spotlights numerous sounds that will attraction to a wider viewers. Fifty Fifty’s perky Pookie noticed them aiming straight for the pop jugular, however follow-up Midnight Particular affords a moodier sound.
“Moody” is just not briefly provide nowadays, as woman teams and boy teams alike appear to like “a vibe” greater than anything. With this in thoughts, Midnight Particular unfolds largely as you’d count on. When the beat isn’t shuffling softly, it pauses totally for moments of vocal highlight. Light rhythm guitar anchors the refrain, giving a slight, subdued disco contact. The women’ vocals sound ethereal and hanging and I like when the manufacturing leans into its lush layering. However regardless of what number of Ok-pop songs of this fashion make their approach into the market, they’ll all the time face an uphill battle with me. Midnight Particular wants both a knockout collection of melodies or some idiosyncratic manufacturing flourish to face out. The tune has neither, so it earns the doubtful (and possibly overused) descriptor “nice.” Sadly, I simply don’t have a lot room for “nice” on my playlist.
