5 years since their debut, CRAVITY are in a rebirth part. 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 Ok-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.
In truth, this music finds a technique to stuff nearly each CRAVITY sound into one package deal. SET NET G0 strikes by 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 know the way 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 special a part of the music than common.) General, the music works very effectively regardless of just a few shortcomings.
SET NET G0 opens with considered one of these weaker moments. I’m not offered on the descending melodies of the verses. They fizzle vitality relatively 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 music vaults into its strongest flip — an excellent pre-chorus underlined by thick synth textures. The grittier refrain additionally works effectively, even when it feels ripped from one other music fully. These two parts be part of forces for SET NET G0‘s finale, and it’s right here that the music lastly is smart. We might 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.
