When final we heard from Chuu, she tried her hand at a pleasing synthpop sound. This appears to be very in pattern for Ok-pop soloists, positioning them throughout the international market whereas nonetheless sustaining the extra subdued vibe that’s taken maintain of the trade’s lady group fare over the previous few years.

Like previous efforts, Solely Cry In The Rain is nice however very light-weight. The tune takes no possibilities, preferring to ship an ethereal instrumental and smooth melody. Even the music video has a hazy movie excessive. There have been many tracks like this in Ok-pop not too long ago and I’m not fairly certain what to do with them. The tune is objectively high quality — a pleasing diversion that might soundtrack nearly any exercise. However with a lot ear-catching music being launched around the globe each week, one thing like Solely Cry In The Rain can’t actually compete. I’m unsure it even needs to.

Like a lot of Ok-pop’s solo releases, the tune comes all the way down to Chuu’s attraction as an idol. She isn’t given a lot room to showcase character right here, however in the event you’re already a fan I think about simply listening to her voice will supply consolation and elevate the monitor’s candy, easy melodies. For everybody else, Solely Cry In The Rain will play nicely within the second however probably get buried by dozens of competing releases because the weeks go on.
