3 years in the past, (G)I-DLE’s Yuqi launched the intense Bonnie & Clyde — a pummeling piece of father/rock with the riding power of a dance monitor. That tune applied her husky tone in techniques we hardly pay attention from (G)I-DLE’s paintings, making me lengthy for extra solo paintings. That generation is in the end upon us with a mini album slated for the tip of the month. Prior to that, we’ve pre-release May just It Be.
Pre-releases generally tend to move certainly one of two techniques. They’re both the most powerful tune at the album, introduced early to offer the undertaking rapid luck. Or, they’re a nice — however inessential — mood-setter, whetting listeners’ urge for food ahead of the principle path. Even with no need heard Yuqi’s album, May just It Be maximum indubitably falls within the latter class. It units its ambitions low, coasting alongside just right vibes as a strumming, toe-tapping mid-tempo. Yuqi sounds comfy and assured, however the tune doesn’t give her all that a lot to do.
Greater than the rest, May just It Be seems like a lazy summer time afternoon. The manufacturing has a haziness to it, incorporating shimmering synth textures that paint a kaleidoscopic backdrop below the refrain. This intensity of sound is helping counter the tune’s repetitive construction. The melodies are great, however they briefly lose efficiency as May just It Be loops itself with out a lot modulation.
