One of the best factor I can say about POW’s materials to date is that they’re doing their very own factor. Their music has been fairly trend-averse and hasn’t drawn consideration to itself, which is uncommon in Okay-pop. To me, they really feel like an indie group who simply occur to be working throughout the idol system.

New single Taste retains the unassuming vibes coming. It’s not a loud, dynamic track. It’s not chant-heavy or gimmicky. In truth, with completely different manufacturing this is able to be extra at house in a espresso store than a weekly music stage. Whereas this may enchantment to a selected subset of listeners, it’s simply too subdued and uninteresting for my liking. Nothing stands proud whereas listening to Taste — no melody, manufacturing contact or efficiency. It’s merely a pleasant, flat, laidback summer season track. I like their music for sticking to its weapons, however I doubt I’ll bear in mind the style of this Taste in a couple of weeks’ time.
