Buried Treasure: TWS – Comma,

A Okay-pop act’s title observe isn’t at all times the most effective track on their album, even when it’s the one most individuals will hear. Generally, b-sides deserve recognition too. Within the singles-oriented world of Okay-pop, I wish to highlight a few of these buried treasures and provides them the props they deserve.

Although they’ve shifted their sound for this new comeback, I’m fairly happy with TWS’s single album. It feels nicely suited to the season and title observe Final Pageant is already proving to be very addictive. Regardless of the style, the facet of TWS’s music that has me most excited is its embrace of melody. That is on full show throughout all three new tracks.

With that mentioned, you all know I like an upbeat banger. Comma, (점 대신 쉼표를 그려) closes the album with a bang, providing a hearty dose of funk that sees the fellows working in my most popular musical mode. Many boy teams go down the funk route, however these tracks are sometimes fairly monotone of their melodic method. Comma has that sensible TWS flourish, delivering vary and creativity in its construction. Simply take heed to how the melodies dance by way of the refrain, zooming up and down the size with vitality and motion. That is what I’m referencing once I point out “melodic vary.” There’s a fluency and punch to those strains that ensures the track by no means flatlines. In fact, you should have the vocal chops to tug this off, and TWS are proving themselves an increasing number of adept on this regard.

if I’ve a criticism about Comma, it’s that the manufacturing typically feels too sparse for its personal good. That is particularly apparent when the track all of a sudden swerves into a sturdy rapped bridge. The instrumental turns into full and thrilling at this second, making me want the remainder of the track adopted go well with. Nonetheless, this flourish is very thrilling given its distinction and pushes the observe towards a rousing finale.

Grade: B+
