listen to WISH COLOR by NCT
All this energy is enough to knock you off balance at first, but I tend to strip it all away and focus on the melodies. Melody will always be the driving factor for me and the element that gives a song timeless appeal. Color has its moments, but once again I’m left longing for stronger hooks. The verses and pre-chorus are largely forgettable, composed of strung-together fragments of sing-talk. The chorus is stronger, but still feels more like a b-side than enduring title track. Color‘s most memorable moment comes in the form of its post-chorus chant, but I suspect this is simply because it’s designed as a stadium sing-along, easy enough to learn and repeat on first listen. Overall, Color‘s boisterous arrangement is the real star and covers up some of the flaws within the song itself.
