I by no means know whether or not or to not write about Ok-pop’s CF songs. You may’t actually strategy a industrial commercial with the identical standards as a title monitor, but as a bit of music these songs typically observe the identical approaches as different Ok-pop songs and sometimes eclipse them.
TXT’s Open All the time Wins is a collaboration with Samsung and sees the group persevering with down a rock-inspired route. Notably, the fellows contributed to the music’s English-language lyrics, although the obscure banality of CF tracks doesn’t make that as huge of a deal as effusive press releases may counsel. Greater than something, Open All the time Wins echoes lots of the issues I had with their most up-to-date album. There’s loads of potential right here, however a brief operating time and basic lack of follow-through makes it really feel unfinished.
Open All the time Wins‘ strongest moments are its refrain and post-chorus. The melodies listed below are catchy and anthemic. They name for a way more sturdy instrumental to provide them the punch they want. The grungy manufacturing feels murky and colorless. This sentiment continues by means of an energy-dipping second verse and halting pre-chorus. General, the music is completely tremendous (particularly for a CF), however requires a number of extra drafts to nurture it right into a fully-realized standout.
