Aside from a implausible pre-release, YOUNITE haven’t accomplished a lot to stay in my reminiscence. I’ve written about all their title tracks, however I truthfully couldn’t hum any of them at present. New single Geekin is unlikely to alter that, however its addictive beat helps it stand out amongst their discography.
I ought to hate this music. In spite of everything, the spoken phrase refrain hits lots of the stylistic tropes I are likely to despise in trendy boy group music. But one way or the other, “why you geekin?” is such a silly phrase that it one way or the other turns into enjoyable. Greater than something, we will thank the music’s manufacturing for its success. I may do with out the sirens, however its rubbery electro groove is spot on. And fairly than collapse into a number of disparate items and tempos, Geekin maintains its momentum during.
A greater refrain would have made this a real standout, however I really like the melodic pre-chorus and the rap verses are delightfully rhythmic. In some ways, it’s the primary title monitor to straight name again to 2022’s All people and makes a case for YOUNITE to additional discover retro hip-hop sounds.
