Japanese tripleS sub-unit “∞!” debuted final 12 months with the moody, hypnotic Untitled. It was one of many higher tripleS title tracks, although I can’t say it stayed on my playlist for lengthy. Now, they’re again with a jauntier pop music in new single Password.
There’s a joke going round about tripleS’s robust reliance on “la la la” hooks. They actually love the schtick and Password is the most recent in an extended line of songs to conclude its refrain on this manner. Nonetheless, the “la la la” is a comparatively small a part of this general music — simply sufficient to ingratiate them inside “tripleS’s La La La Cinematic Universe.”
As a substitute, Password is a chugging dance monitor with loads of quirky synth-fueled switch-ups to provide it a cute J-pop power. It’s a bit unwieldy and overstuffed, but not one of the hooks break via the association to land with any drive. The refrain virtually will get there, however many of the music’s melodies goal the identical basic construction. It seems like a sequence of riffs and asides somewhat than a well-developed spotlight reel. There’s a greater music to be original from this combine, however because it stands Password is difficult to get your arms round.
