RIIZE’s new album has a really robust visible ingredient, with music movies or shortened “observe movies” for every music. Due to this (and since the album is so robust), I’ll be working by means of your entire observe listing over the subsequent few days. Be certain that to test again typically!
1. Odyssey // 2. Bag Unhealthy Again // 3. Ember To Photo voltaic // 4. Fly Up // 5. Present Me Love // 6. Passage // 7. Midnight Mirage // 8. The Finish Of The Day // 9. Inside My Love // 10. One other Life
EMBER TO SOLAR
When re-evaluating Bag Unhealthy Again, I discussed a “traditional” SM boy group sound. This specific brew is totally distinctive to Ok-pop. In reality, for me it is Ok-pop to a big extent. Ember To Photo voltaic triumphantly attracts upon this legacy, crafting an album standout that might simply compete with greats like SHINee and TVXQ.
This strategy is heard most clearly on Ember To Photo voltaic‘s refrain. You hear it within the staccato supply of the lyrics, drawing upon the distinctive charms of the Korean language in a means so few Ok-pop songs do lately. It’s within the vocal layering, making a dramatic wall of sound that forges six voices collectively till they type a very new texture. And, it’s in Ember To Photo voltaic‘s normal sense of scope. This isn’t music meant to be loved as “straightforward listening.” That is an expertise.
As an precise music, I’m not but certain if Ember To Photo voltaic can compete with the greats. It’s a bit too depending on rap and sing-talk, forgoing the prospect to lace the observe with a collection of stronger melodies. However, that is the place that patented “SM Efficiency” sound leaps in to avoid wasting the day. Even the slightest of hooks sound completely towering when painted with all these theatrics. And at its coronary heart, Ember To Photo voltaic‘s central hook could be very efficient. It seems like an invite to battle — simply extremely rousing stuff.
