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 world market whereas nonetheless sustaining the extra subdued vibe that’s taken maintain of the trade’s woman 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 probabilities, preferring to ship an ethereal instrumental and delicate melody. Even the music video has a hazy movie excessive. There have been many tracks like this in Ok-pop just lately and I’m not fairly certain what to do with them. The tune is objectively advantageous — a pleasing diversion that would soundtrack nearly any exercise. However with a lot ear-catching music being launched world wide each week, one thing like Solely Cry In The Rain can’t actually compete. I’m undecided it even needs to.
Like lots of Ok-pop’s solo releases, the tune comes right down to Chuu’s enchantment as an idol. She isn’t given a lot room to showcase persona right here, however for those who’re already a fan I think about simply listening to her voice will supply consolation and elevate the observe’s candy, easy melodies. For everybody else, Solely Cry In The Rain will play properly within the second however probably get buried by dozens of competing releases because the weeks go on.
