Crème Brûlée (from Song Of The Sirens – 2020)

The plucky percussion that opens this track gives me bad flashbacks to when this style of production was ubiquitous in K-pop. I’m not a fan of this overall vibe. It’s too slow to be exciting and too groovy to support the kind of robust melodies I tend to enjoy. The song is perfectly pleasant and well-performed. This style even suits GFriend to a degree, but it’s not what I love about their music. For me, this is very much album filler.

Grade: C
