Boy team Xodiac are bobbing up on their first 12 months anniversary this April, and what higher strategy to have a good time than a pleasing pop monitor with the ethereal ease of a fan music? Longtime readers will know I normally equate “delightful” with “uninteresting,” and this truly comes right down to time control. If I simplest had 5 songs in my song library, I’d most probably be content material with a pleasing pop monitor. However with such a lot compelling song rising from quite a lot of areas and industries, I infrequently have time for delightful.
Heyday suits squarely inside of this realm, taking cues from the easy-listening pattern recently steerage parts of Okay-pop. It’s buoyant and melodic and frequently wafts at the side of easy edges and hazy listlessness. With the exception of an ill-conceived 2nd verse breakdown, Heyday gives an undiluted shot of cotton sweet fluff. Even the vocals are mild as a feather. A bit of of electrical guitar lends texture to the climax, however another way that is charmingly forgettable.
