Large, enjoyable “recession period” pop music has slowly been creeping again into world music tendencies and I’ve had my fingers crossed that it might ultimately discover its solution to Ok-pop as properly. I didn’t count on this to occur by way of a bunch like NTX, who’ve so far flown underneath the radar with quite a lot of completely different sounds (and ranging high quality). Nonetheless, new single Over N Over is enjoyable with a capital “F,” inviting you to silence your internal critic and relish the bounding beat and sing-along refrain.

There’s a ton of Bigbang-goes-rock spirit fueling Over N Over, however largely it simply feels like each group of 2012-13 in a good way. After a short intro, the music opens up and simply retains spreading its wings as we swerve from punchy verse to anthemic refrain. The second when refrain #1 transitions to verse #1 is pure want achievement for a fan like me who’s all the time clamoring for momentum and drive in his pop songs. All of the whereas, the percussion chugs alongside as spikes of electrical guitar supply texture and adrenaline. The entire thing relishes in its formulaic strategy and I’m not in the least mad at a music that merely needs to ship on expectations.

At three and a half minutes, Over N Over is already a wholesome size for a contemporary Ok-pop music, nevertheless it may actually use thirty extra seconds to go complete ham with a killer climax. Throughout its finale, the monitor sounds as if it’s going to burst into an prolonged confetti drop however fizzles out as a substitute. That is the only real a part of the “recession pop” components the music refuses to offer us, and it’s a disgrace. On the plus facet, it’ll solely have me replaying this utter pleasure bomb… over n over once more.
