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

tripleS’s first full album has a constant vibe regardless of exploring a number of distinct genres. The music usually has a veneer of coolness that makes for a considerably indifferent pay attention, however their A&R staff have assembled a robust roster of producers to information this bold venture.

On first pay attention, 24 was the observe that stood out most to me. The second half of the album feels stronger than the primary and this marks its peak of vitality. The tune continues to be fashionably aloof, however its swinging groove provides it a funkiness not discovered elsewhere. That is most obvious through the refrain, which explodes with splashes of synth and rhythmic brass that give it actual punch. The post-chorus breakdown is even higher, transferring into an old-school hip-hop beat for the second verse. And though there are lots of musical concepts stuffed inside 24, it’s the uncommon observe that really works nicely with its brief 2:33 operating time.
