After breaking into the large leagues final 12 months, QWER have been a dependable fixture on the Korean charts. Korea loves a rock band with a unusual, indie sound and QWER fill a void. So far as chart success is anxious, they really feel like the feminine DAY6 in the intervening time. Along with their off-kilter materials, the group is greater than able to rattling off an easy ballad. Particular single Blue Whale (흰수염고래) has all of the hallmarks of one other hit — in all probability as a result of it’s been one earlier than. The tune is a canopy of the 2011 unique by well-known rock band YB.
Whereas I don’t have a ton of area for this fashion of observe in my private music library, I recognize the form of rock ballad that takes its time to construct towards emotional peaks. Blue Whale might not reinvent any wheels, nevertheless it traces its manner by means of the tracks of its affect in a studied, efficient manner. Blue Whale is one lengthy train in construct, beginning hushed and ending with extra gusto. There’s not one second of giant climax, however the tune’s snowballing impact retains listeners engaged and emphasizes its message of encouragement. We will all use a tune like this in our lives infrequently, and it’s pretty to listen to QWER honor considered one of Ok-pop’s most legendary rock acts.
