Baekhyun has achieved sufficient superb issues with EXO to warrant a gradual stream of write-ups on this weblog, even when his solo music has hardly ever related with me. I hate coming right into a music understanding that I in all probability received’t prefer it, although I’m all the time open (and hoping) to having my thoughts modified. R&B is a good style for Baekhyun to discover, however I don’t perceive why can’t he discover songs that harness this sound nicely.
Right here’s the factor about style. Clearly, I’ve genres I favor over others. All of us do. However when it comes down it, the substances of a very good music persist throughout style strains. I search for melody, texture and a construction that builds towards moments of thrilling (or emotional) climax. Baekhyun brings texture and vibe together with his vocals alone, however Lemonade sputters as a music. It’s largely composed of the identical melodic chorus repeated in roughly the identical method, missing a powerful sense of storytelling. Like so many different tracks of the second, this can be a vibe seeking a music. Its effectiveness will hinge upon how a lot you get pleasure from spending time with Baekhyun’s voice. However even then, I’d argue there are much more partaking musical alternatives to understand this similar expertise.
