As is commonly the case with J-pop singles, ENHYPEN’s Shine On Me has been obtainable for a couple of weeks now, however as we speak it’s lastly paired with its half-animated, half-live motion music video. As a straight-down-the-middle ballad, the tune provides a unique texture for the group.
This fashion of lovelorn summer season ballad rears its head yearly round this time and works as good counterprogramming to the season’s extra energetic choices. It’s good to listen to ENHYPEN strip again the manufacturing and ship a observe targeted on vocal melody and powerful sentiment. With that mentioned, there’s solely to this point a tune like this could stretch. It takes a completely breathtaking sequence of melodies or a knock-your-socks-off efficiency for one thing like Shine On Me to be a standout on my playlist. With Ok-pop, that occurs as soon as in a blue moon and the temper in decidedly un-blue as we speak.
What we’re left with is a really nice pop observe that follows the HYBE soft-rock components. This might have simply as simply been carried out by teams like &TEAM or TXT with no actual change. I suppose that’s a testomony to the tune’s sturdiness, but it surely additionally ends in a fairly generic hear. Followers of the group will seemingly be thrilled to listen to ENHYPEN on this specific musical realm, so I suppose that’s mission completed in its personal means.
