Please Save My Earth (from The Awakening – 2017)

Previous Thoughts: “The earnest hook is classic GFriend, but it feels more dreamlike here. There’s a lot going on in the track itself, but it’s so tightly packed that every element seems to bleed into one another to create a lush collage of sounds.” (full review)

Updated thoughts: I occasionally get the feeling I’m the only one who loves this song as much as I do, but that’s fine. The instrumental has such a warm lushness that echoes the best instincts of classic disco. Then, you’ve got that whopper of a chorus. It’s not so much the melody that does it for me. It’s all about how the production hugs the track, bolstering it from every angle. It’s sleek but powerful and weirdly affecting in its sheer sincerity.

Grade: A-
