A Ok-pop act’s title observe isn’t all the time the most effective track on their album, even when it’s the one most individuals will hear. Typically, b-sides deserve recognition too. Within the singles-oriented world of Ok-pop, I need to highlight a few of these buried treasures and provides them the props they deserve.

It’s summertime OST season, with TWS and ZEROBASEONE releasing related songs inside days of one another. Like ZB1’s effort, Model New Day is an upbeat pop/rock providing full of good vibes and buoyed by an thrilling refrain. One of many causes I’m so utterly affixed to the TWS practice is their numerous set of vocal tones. I like after I can immediately pick the singers of an idol group as a result of it provides a lot character and transforms in any other case generic materials into one thing particular.

I don’t discover TWS’s music generic in any respect, however this OST definitely leans in that course (as is the case for many OSTs, truthfully). The truth that TWS and ZEROBASEONE may simply interchange their songs isn’t misplaced on me, however the vocals right here give Model New Day that unmistakable, contemporary TWS stamp. That is particularly evident in the course of the track’s buoyant refrain and sensible, constructing flourish that closes the observe. Whereas not fairly nearly as good as their fantastically bouncy Bloom from a number of weeks in the past, it retains that track’s optimistic drive and makes for a pleasant summertime pairing.
