On this busy comeback day, NCT’s Doyoung stands as the only male performer in a flock of competing woman teams/bands. Reminiscence (안녕, 우주) comes from his second solo album and sees him persevering with the sound he established on the primary. His wealthy voice is properly suited to OST-style music, sacrificing edge for comforting emotion.
Due to this, I interface with Reminiscence in the best way I achieve this many OSTs, charmed by its sentiment however in the end underwhelmed by the tune by itself. Thankfully, Reminiscence has extra drive to it than anticipated. Fairly than a simple ballad, the tune gives a driving rock power. There’s a way of catharsis all through, although this might have been capitalized upon additional with a extra daring, dynamic association. Any trace of experimentation is smoothed over in favourite of straight-down-the-line, tried and true musical tropes. Doyoung’s voice is stirring sufficient to compensate for these generic approaches, however general this musical package deal is fairly forgettable.
