Dignity debuted final summer time with a enjoyable new jack swing monitor and a good higher b-side that recalled the perfect of late-second-gen group Block B, touchdown them on two of my year-end countdowns. However like many rookie teams from small businesses, they swiftly disappeared after that. Nearly a yr later, they’ve lastly returned with new single SWEET2TH. Sadly, the tune struggles to duplicate their previous glories.

I’ll by no means say no to a shiny boy group monitor in Okay-pop, principally as a result of this fashion is commonly accompanied by sturdy melody. SWEET2TH boasts all the mandatory power for this idea however devolves into the sort of chant-heavy hook that immediately yanks me from a tune’s momentum. This refrain is straight away adopted by a extra melodic section, however even right here the tune doesn’t stretch itself sufficient. This strategy continues into the verses, together with an energy-killing second verse shift. General, SWEET2TH is innocent fluff however will simply get misplaced amongst stronger releases and positively pales compared to their debut.
