5 years since their debut, CRAVITY are in a rebirth section. They’ve modified leaders and teased their new album with photographs of the members rising from big eggs lined in amniotic fluid. Sure, you learn that appropriately. And sure, it’s sort of superior in its sheer nerve. Rebirths in Ok-pop don’t at all times imply drastic shifts in sound or type, and fortunately new single SET NET G0?! retains lots of the group’s strongest components.
In actual fact, this tune finds a method to stuff nearly each CRAVITY sound into one package deal. SET NET G0 strikes via a number of distinct segments, from the brittle funk of its verses to the hovering melody of the pre-chorus to the electro-stomp of the refrain to the requisite mid-song hip-hop breakdown. Amazingly, these disparate components by no means really feel jarring, although you all know the way I really feel a couple of energy-shifting rap verse. (SET NET G0 earns a sliver of a bonus level for not less than shoehorning it into a distinct a part of the tune than ordinary.) General, the tune works very nicely regardless of just a few shortcomings.
SET NET G0 opens with one among these weaker moments. I’m not bought on the descending melodies of the verses. They fizzle vitality quite than construct it, however as soon as a robust kick of percussion joins the combination we’re off to the races. From right here, the tune vaults into its strongest flip — a superb pre-chorus underlined by thick synth textures. The grittier refrain additionally works nicely, even when it feels ripped from one other tune completely. These two components be a part of forces for SET NET G0‘s finale, and it’s right here that the tune lastly is smart. We might do with one other fifteen seconds of this payoff, however even with its slight body the observe is satisfying and feels destined for a lot of replays thanks to some ear-catching highlights.
