I’m not going to overview this music as a result of I don’t need to be unnecessarily imply, however listening to rookie group BLINGONE’s re-creation of KARA’s immortal Mister makes for a captivating case research and comparability between Ok-pop generations. It solutions the query no person had however everyone desires to know: What if a traditional second-gen music had been launched at this time amidst our present musical traits?
The reply is predictably sorrowful. Slightly than solid Mister inside a sequence of blazing, high-energy synths, BLINGONE reinvent it with the herky jerky drum-and-bass rhythms presently flooding the market. The music turns into virtually unrecognizable, its iconic, triumphant melodies lowered to a sequence of chirps and squiggles. Because the instrumental continues to drop out, the music loses all momentum, making its slower moments drag and sooner moments really feel hopelessly misplaced. It’s disjointed and tough to bounce to, extra obsessive about creating three-second spotlight clips than fleshing out a full music. And talking of full songs, the runtime for this new model has been reduce by over thirty seconds, which is wonderful as a result of BLINGONE’s model feels about ten instances as lengthy.
Once more, it’s simply a captivating case research.
