As is commonly the case with J-pop singles, ENHYPEN’s Shine On Me has been accessible for a number of weeks now, however as we speak it’s lastly paired with its half-animated, half-live motion music video. As a straight-down-the-middle ballad, the music presents a unique texture for the group.
This type of lovelorn summer time ballad rears its head yearly round this time and works as good counterprogramming to the season’s extra energetic choices. It’s good to listen to ENHYPEN strip again the manufacturing and ship a observe centered on vocal melody and robust sentiment. With that mentioned, there’s solely to this point a music like this will stretch. It takes a fully breathtaking sequence of melodies or a knock-your-socks-off efficiency for one thing like Shine On Me to be a standout on my playlist. With Ok-pop, that occurs as soon as in a blue moon and the temper in decidedly un-blue as we speak.
What we’re left with is a really nice pop observe that follows the HYBE soft-rock components. This might have simply as simply been carried out by teams like &TEAM or TXT with no actual change. I suppose that’s a testomony to the music’s sturdiness, nevertheless it additionally leads to a fairly generic pay attention. Followers of the group will possible be thrilled to listen to ENHYPEN on this explicit musical realm, so I assume that’s mission achieved in its personal means.
