Although Apink’s annual anniversary releases aren’t promoted past a easy behind-the-scenes video, they’re nonetheless value writing about primarily based on the group’s stature alone. Not like so lots of their friends, Apink are nonetheless energetic fourteen (!) years after their debut. And, I recognize that these celebratory singles aren’t the type of drippy ballad most teams ship to mark a milestone.

As its title suggests, Faucet Clap is the precise reverse of a ballad. The track unveils a bounding rhythm and singalong hook that recollects the model of vivid, fizzy materials that was hottest when Apink had been at their business prime. The track is nothing new or particular, however by retaining issues easy the women are in a position to squeeze every thing they’ll from Faucet Clap‘s acquainted sound. Their vocals sound nice as common and the power is unrelentingly upbeat. A few of at this time’s newer crop of lady teams may truthfully take word!
