WayV launched their first Japanese mini album all the best way again at the start of August, however weeks later they’ve unveiled a music video for its promoted monitor Go Greater. I’m unsure what the plan was behind this delay, other than the truth that J-pop usually takes lengthy breaks between varied promotions. Both manner, it’s good to have a visible to associate with the album.
When this track was launched again in summer time, I didn’t suppose a lot of it. The truth is, I haven’t listened to Go Greater since then so it feels nearly new. With that in thoughts, the energetic percussion strikes me as an instantaneous standout. The instrumental has nice kick, unafraid to go massive and daring. The verses are the strongest instance of this depth, although distorted guitar additionally makes a pleasant addition in the course of the bridge.
Nonetheless, Go Greater fusses round an excessive amount of throughout its refrain. WayV borrows NCT’s abrasive soundscape for this phase, throwing their rhythm in a blender till it’s chopped and frenetic. This sonic shift corresponds with a extra aggressive, chanted vocal fashion. Relatively than badass, the hook merely looks like a missed alternative. After I consider WayV, I think about a smoother vocal method. The refrain veers too near NCT 127’s shouty jackhammer assault for my style and Go Greater rapidly loses focus. It’s form of a large number, which is a disgrace as a result of there are some nice components hiding throughout the manufacturing.
