It’s turn out to be widespread for idol acts to launch particular music movies after promotions finish for his or her title observe. This enables the albums an extended cycle and spotlights varied sounds which will enchantment to a wider viewers. Fifty Fifty’s perky Pookie noticed them aiming straight for the pop jugular, however follow-up Midnight Particular presents a moodier sound.
“Moody” is just not briefly provide lately, as lady teams and boy teams alike appear to like “a vibe” greater than the rest. With this in thoughts, Midnight Particular unfolds principally as you’d count on. When the beat isn’t shuffling softly, it pauses fully for moments of vocal highlight. Light rhythm guitar anchors the refrain, giving a slight, subdued disco contact. The women’ vocals sound ethereal and placing and I really like when the manufacturing leans into its lush layering. However irrespective of what number of Okay-pop songs of this type make their method into the market, they’ll all the time face an uphill battle with me. Midnight Particular wants both a knockout collection of melodies or some idiosyncratic manufacturing flourish to face out. The music has neither, so it earns the doubtful (and possibly overused) descriptor “nice.” Sadly, I simply don’t have a lot room for “nice” on my playlist.
