Earlier this 12 months, CIX’s Thunder turned a favourite of many followers. I preferred the music too, although it has loved little-to-no endurance on my playlist. Nonetheless, its crunchy electro funk felt like a pleasant makeover for the group’s sound. That sense of bombast appears to be a one-off as new single Marvel You (니가 궁금해) shifts issues but once more.
We’re in murkier territory with this one as an insistent synthline belies a monitor that’s way more reserved than anticipated. CIX have launched nice midtempo materials earlier than and there are moments the place Marvel You feels as if it can grow to be a type of highlights. However quite than construct upon its strengths, the monitor pulls again each time I hope it will blossom. On first pay attention, it’s nearly laborious to differentiate the verses from the refrain as each are delivered with the identical emphasis. This makes for a dreamlike association that seems like swimming via cloudy water in quest of mild.
As at all times, stronger hooks would profit Marvel You. If the manufacturing received’t delineate the music’s numerous segments, it’s as much as the melodies to attract vital distinctions. As an alternative, each ingredient of Marvel You operates with related depth, making it a nice however considerably flat pay attention. Nevertheless, the blokes are shirtless all through a lot of the music video so I’m positive that can cancel out any musical shortcomings for a large portion of the viewers!
