Track Assessment: ALL(H)OURS – Graffiti


Rookie boy group ALL(H)OURS has been within the information just lately, as Ok-pop titan JYP Leisure just lately listed their company as a subsidiary. I’m undecided what this implies in relation to firm assets, however it does get their new launch plum placement on JYP’s YouTube channel. Given this growth, it’s the right time for the group to unveil their pre-release single Graffiti.

Everybody’s doing a pre-release today, affording them the prospect to showcase varied sounds within the lead-up to album promotions. For Graffiti, ALL(H)OURS go for a really fashionable, predictable boy group fashion. I may throw a stone in any route and land upon a track precisely like this. I swear Ok-pop used to have extra selection! Or possibly that’s merely nostalgia giving me rose-colored glasses. Regardless, there’s not an authentic thought inside Graffiti‘s body.

Should you’re not going to attempt for originality, you need to ship your tropes in probably the most participating method doable. That is the place the bedrock of songwriting is available in: components like melody, momentum and climax. Sadly, Graffiti laces its skittering, pots-and-pans manufacturing with chanted sing-talk and fragmented hooks that crater simply as you hope they’d blossom. Nothing right here is objectively dangerous and if I had been model new to Ok-pop I would even benefit from the observe. However as somebody who’s heard this template tons of of occasions earlier than, there’s merely no compelling motive for Graffiti to exist.
