![]() ![]() At first it sounded like a typical Euro-pop club banger, but the inclusion of police whistles, random chanting and bleeps was an amusing backtrack to the otherwise plain-sounding melody of the song. ![]() It sounded a lot like a song FloRida and the like would churn out, and they’re not people you’d like to think of when listening to any song.Īlthough “Body to Body” is indeed just another club-sounding song, it was an interesting listen because of the types of sounds and synths within the song. The vocals and rapping is just as strong here as in the previous three songs, but it’s a little disappointing that they decided to include such a heavily-produced song, especially when the previous songs were cleaner and smoother-sounding it made “Coy Girl” sound messy in comparision. “Coy Girl” is a good song for the club and for those who enjoy club-like music and over-bearing synths. I especially like the slow beats during the stanzas in between the chorus, which give the sound a funk and house vibe and helps to provide development in between the powerful sound of the chorus. ![]() In parts, it sounds like it was ripped straight from the soundrack of a Nintendo video game or an anime, which doesn’t mean it sounds bad, but it sounds like its been influenced during their time in Japan. It has a little bombast and flair, with J-pop elements. The synths and electronica is a lot more pre-dominant in this song, but it’s really fun-sounding. ![]() It would have been nice to have ended with the slowing down of the bass, but this minor gripe doesn’t downplay the good quality of the rest of the song. While my complaint for “Love is Gone” was that it dragged in places, my only gripe with “Aftermath” is that it ends abruptly and sounds like Dongjun was cut off mid-chorus. The electronic beats and light bass kept the pace of the song while the rest of the song was very light-sounding, but didn’t veer into the fluffy. The sound of his voice is reminiscent of B2ST’s Yoseob, and is supported by the deeper tones of the rappers and other vocalists. The haunting sound continues with their title track “Aftermath,” which is mainly because of the emotive voice of Dongjun, their lead vocalist. Another minor problem with the song is what could only be described as a poor man’s dubstep being spliced into the middle, but thankfully it didn’t last too long, because it seemed to be randomly placed there and would have detracted for the song.įinally, a title track that doesn’t depend on heavy production and autotune to sound catchy. The song does seem to drag in places and the stanzas between the chorus feel very short, especially near the end. The overlaying of the deep, fast raps and the higher-pitched, softer vocals is a great mix because their voices blend so well together. The song starts with a simple electronic beat, and then completely picks up by increasing the intensity of the electronic beat. The sound of this song is very haunting, especially with its hook. Let’s hope their album is good enough to draw attention towards the boys even with the tough competition. Originally, their comeback was intended for mid-June, but was delayed because of leader Junyoung‘s injury. Perhaps with their sophomore album they can gain more attention, but regardless of the album’s quality, the odds of doing so might prove unlikely due to the ill-fated timing with the comebacks of 2NE1, T-ara and Super Junior. They’ve had a lot of bumps along the way, including a terrible debut, but even with fairly decent subsquent tracks, they still haven’t managed to break into the higher rungs of K-pop relevancy. Blue, and despite their somewhat success in Japan, ZE:A are still amongst the groups that are still under the radar. Unlike their contemporaries, Infinite and C.N. ZE:A, also known as Children of Empire, are fresh off their concert tour of Asia and have returned with a new album Spectacular. ![]()
