I’m not going to assessment this music as a result of I don’t need to be unnecessarily imply, however listening to rookie group BLINGONE’s re-creation of KARA’s immortal Mister makes for an interesting case examine and comparability between Okay-pop generations. It solutions the query no one had however everyone needs to know: What if a basic second-gen music had been launched in the present day amidst our present musical developments?
The reply is predictably sorrowful. Fairly than solid Mister inside a collection of blazing, high-energy synths, BLINGONE reinvent it with the herky jerky drum-and-bass rhythms presently flooding the market. The music turns into virtually unrecognizable, its iconic, triumphant melodies decreased to a collection of chirps and squiggles. Because the instrumental continues to drop out, the music loses all momentum, making its slower moments drag and quicker moments really feel hopelessly misplaced. It’s disjointed and tough to bop to, extra obsessive about creating three-second spotlight clips than fleshing out a full music. And talking of full songs, the runtime for this new model has been lower by over thirty seconds, which is wonderful as a result of BLINGONE’s model feels about ten instances as lengthy.
Once more, it’s simply an interesting case examine.
