A Ok-pop act’s title monitor isn’t at all times the very best music 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 wish to highlight a few of these buried treasures and provides them the props they deserve.

Although they’ve shifted their sound for this new comeback, I’m fairly happy with TWS’s single album. It feels properly suited to the season and title monitor Final Competition is already proving to be very addictive. Regardless of the style, the side of TWS’s music that has me most excited is its embrace of melody. That is on full show throughout all three new tracks.

With that mentioned, you all know I really like an upbeat banger. Comma, (점 대신 쉼표를 그려) closes the album with a bang, providing a hearty dose of funk that sees the blokes working in my most popular musical mode. Many boy teams go down the funk route, however these tracks are sometimes fairly monotone of their melodic strategy. Comma has that good TWS flourish, delivering vary and creativity in its construction. Simply hearken to how the melodies dance by the refrain, zooming up and down the dimensions with vitality and motion. That is what I’m referencing once I point out “melodic vary.” There’s a fluency and punch to those traces that ensures the music by no means flatlines. After all, it’s essential to have the vocal chops to drag this off, and TWS are proving themselves increasingly more adept on this regard.

if I’ve a criticism about Comma, it’s that the manufacturing typically feels too sparse for its personal good. That is particularly apparent when the music instantly swerves into a sturdy rapped bridge. The instrumental turns into full and thrilling at this second, making me want the remainder of the music adopted swimsuit. Nonetheless, this flourish is particularly thrilling given its distinction and pushes the monitor towards a rousing finale.
