With two members of BAE173 presently collaborating in different survival collection spawned teams, the remainder of the members have joined forces with Fantasy Boys (one other survival collection act) to kind venture group Double 0ne. In an ideal world, this might “maximize their joint slay,” however regardless of every group releasing a number of tracks I actually get pleasure from, neither have been slaying all that tough on the charts. On The Rocks With Kiss would possibly paint a brand new means ahead for each acts, although its workmanlike strategy doesn’t precisely thrill.
Earlier than even listening to the music, On The Rocks With Kiss will get bonus factors for its awkward English. That‘s Okay-pop proper there! And moderately than undertake present traits, the music itself has a moderately traditional Okay-pop sound as nicely. Sadly, every thing about it, from the observe to the music video, feels constrained by each price range and creativeness. Its hooks aren’t notably catchy and the manufacturing does little to differentiate itself. It’s a serviceable effort — the sort of music you would possibly hear as a mission in an under-the-radar audition collection. It truly jogs my memory of a much less flavorful model of Fantasy Boys’ personal Simple from earlier this yr.
