The ambitious tripleS project is growing and multiplying faster than NCT ever did, with new units seeming to emerge every month. tripleS Glow is composed of members Chaewon, Sullin, SeoAh and JiYeon and they debuted with Inner Dance (내적 댄스) last week. Now, they've released a performance video to add a visual aspect to the track.
If there's one musical trend I wish would fade into the background, it's this soft, airy dance sound that favors flat melodies and disinterested vocal performances. Google classifies Inner Dance as "Atlanta Bass," which I suppose is different than the similarly featherlight "Jersey Club" favored by many K-pop acts this year. Fans of these specific sub-genres will likely be able to parse out the unique qualities of each track, but the overall energy doesn't engage me enough to put in the effort.
Inner Dance has a few cool production quirks. The last few seconds are by far the most interesting, as synths spiral upward and give the impression that the song is about to exert some real effort. But before Inner Dance can fulfil this promise, the song has ended. Elsewhere, the girls' voices are forged into a faceless, 90% air performance that wafts by without consequence. It's "vibes o'clock" here, and if that's your thing Inner Dance supplies yet another track to add to the long playlist.
