I’m not going to overview this track as a result of I don’t need to be unnecessarily imply, however listening to rookie group BLINGONE’s re-creation of KARA’s immortal Mister makes for an enchanting case examine and comparability between Okay-pop generations. It solutions the query no one had however all people desires to know: What if a basic second-gen track had been launched at this time amidst our present musical tendencies?

The reply is predictably sorrowful. Relatively than solid Mister inside a collection of blazing, high-energy synths, BLINGONE reinvent it with the herky jerky drum-and-bass rhythms at the moment flooding the market. The track turns into virtually unrecognizable, its iconic, triumphant melodies lowered to a collection of chirps and squiggles. Because the instrumental continues to drop out, the track loses all momentum, making its slower moments drag and quicker moments really feel hopelessly misplaced. It’s disjointed and tough to bounce to, extra obsessive about creating three-second spotlight clips than fleshing out a full track. And talking of full songs, the runtime for this new model has been lower by over thirty seconds, which is superb as a result of BLINGONE’s model feels about ten instances as lengthy.

Once more, it’s simply an enchanting case examine.
