Subsequent up is BEATWIN!
Profession timeline: 2014-2017
General sound: Adopted the whims of fashionable Okay-pop traits, however with very sturdy vocals.
6. Don’t Depart (2017)
Ah, the unhappy disbandment ballad. That is higher than most, although.
Score: 7.5
5. Stalker (2015)
The group returned with a harder-edged sound that matched Okay-pop’s rising hip-hop influences on the time. The militant refrain is tons of enjoyable, although.
Score: 8
4. Rising Solar (2016)
This doesn’t really feel like an enormous musical assertion, however the melodies and vocal efficiency are beautiful and that comes throughout as very refreshing eight years later. (full overview)
Score: 8.5
3. Phantasm (2014)
This packs a pleasant wallop with an enormous effusive refrain countered by a catchy “da da da” hook. The instrumental’s fairly funky, too.
Score: 8.5
2. She’s My Woman (2014)
I miss the times when random debuts from small companies packed this a lot punch. She’s My Woman peaks with some good vocal climaxes over its chugging beat.
Score: 8.75
1. Your Woman (2016)
Oh, I like this track. The mixture of that ultra-catchy synthline and falsetto-kissed refrain is pure perfection. I used to be at all times stunned this wasn’t produced by Sweetune as a result of it sounds precisely like one in every of their songs. (full overview)
Score: 9
OVERALL RATING: 8.4
