5 years since their debut, CRAVITY are in a rebirth section. They’ve modified leaders and teased their new album with pictures of the members rising from big eggs coated in amniotic fluid. Sure, you learn that accurately. And sure, it’s form of superior in its sheer nerve. Rebirths in Okay-pop don’t at all times imply drastic shifts in sound or fashion, and fortunately new single SET NET G0?! retains lots of the group’s strongest parts.
The truth is, this tune finds a approach to stuff nearly each CRAVITY sound into one package deal. SET NET G0 strikes by means of a number of distinct segments, from the brittle funk of its verses to the hovering melody of the pre-chorus to the electro-stomp of the refrain to the requisite mid-song hip-hop breakdown. Amazingly, these disparate parts by no means really feel jarring, although you all understand how I really feel a couple of energy-shifting rap verse. (SET NET G0 earns a sliver of a bonus level for at the least shoehorning it into a distinct a part of the tune than ordinary.) General, the tune works very effectively regardless of just a few shortcomings.
SET NET G0 opens with certainly one of these weaker moments. I’m not bought on the descending melodies of the verses. They fizzle vitality somewhat than construct it, however as soon as a robust kick of percussion joins the combination we’re off to the races. From right here, the tune vaults into its strongest flip — a superb pre-chorus underlined by thick synth textures. The grittier refrain additionally works effectively, even when it feels ripped from one other tune solely. These two parts be a part of forces for SET NET G0‘s finale, and it’s right here that the tune lastly is smart. We may do with one other fifteen seconds of this payoff, however even with its slight body the observe is satisfying and feels destined for a lot of replays thanks to some ear-catching highlights.
