Maddie Regent - SALT

We love this new track from Maddie Regent, stream 'SALT' here!

“Made this song during quarantine with writer/producer group LionChld (Britney Spears, Bebe Rexha, Kiana Lede) and the whole process was a dream. I was super nervous as it is one of the most vulnerable songs I’ve co-written, but it ended up being such a cathartic experience.” Words by S. Ben Ali Canadian promising artist, Maddie Regent, released a catchy new song two weeks back titled ‘SALT’.…

GIRLS’ GENERATION-OH!GG - LIL' TOUCH

[5.50]

Boring pap from remnants of legendary girl group, or proof they've still got it?

Jessica Doyle: Admittedly, in my ideal world those SNSD members who need to leave SM do so with no acrimony or bad publicity, and Seohyun sticks around long enough to get that second prechorus. (Not to slight Sunny: I just prefer the lower-voiced sneering Sunny of "You Think" to any other singing Sunny.) But instead we get an apparent lack of acrimony, in contrast to what happened with Jessica (and Han Geng, and Jaejoong/Junsu/That Other One, and Kris/Lu Han/Tao, and that's just SM, which these days looks positively sane and benevolent compared to the competition). Plus there's Yuri and Yoona getting to be casually seductive as if they've been preparing for this through years' worth of one-line appearances, and DJ Hyo, and a more relaxed, confident approach appropriate for a decade-plus of experience. Even if "Lil' Touch" isn't a harbinger of better labor relations in K-pop, and it likely isn't, it's still very good. [7]

Ryo Miyauchi: A more concerted effort to revise the identity of SNSD has been long overdue, so the shake-up of its line-up has been for the better when it comes to the music. The lyrics may suggest otherwise as the group continues to play as this seductive band of women, a voice that has yet to feel as more than a performance. Yet the production choice is an assuring pivot as it reaches for a more regal, grown pop outfit more similar in feel to Taeyeon's latest records than the club-minded dance-pop that defined the mid-decade of Girls' Generation. [6]

Joshua Minsoo Kim: "Lil' Touch" was co-written and produced by LIONCHLD, a group comprised of Rachael Kennedy, Nathalia Nico, and Lance Shipp. Their work includes the following: Fantasia's "No Time For It," Britney Spears's "Coupure Électrique," Kiana Ledé's "Fairplay," Bebe Rexha's "Mine," and Evvie McKinney's "How Do You Feel." They also appeared on Timbaland's Lifetime show The Pop Game. All of which is to say that LIONCHLD are relatively new, don't have the best CV, but are well-connected. "Lil' Touch" is also their first K-pop song, and it's a bleak reminder of how passionless SNSD's music has become. On the bright side, it's refreshing to hear each member being meaningfully utilized, but none of them are able to translate the lyrics into anything beyond hollow performance. The verses' minimalism is tedious, the guitar skanks feel cold and unnaturally fast, and the song's subtle development is unable to inject the song with even a modicum of energy. "Lil' Touch" has set a handful of records: the best selling Kihno album, the highest number of YouTube views within 24 hours for any 2000s Korean girl group, and the highest number of YouTube views within 24 hours for any SM group ever. It's all very impressive given the mediocre promotion for this, but K-pop is also bigger than ever. In other words, there are more people who are content with mediocrity. [3]

Juan F. Carruyo: It starts with the chorus and it will repeat 4 times throughout the song, but only to establish a familiar element within the structure, since every single verse that follows is completely different from each other. This is devilish arranging skills with superb melodies to match. [8]

Alfred Soto: Unimpressed with the last couple singles, I heard little in "Lil' Touch" that impressed me beyond the echo and slight skank in the last third. [5]

Crystal Leww: Listen, I think that Tiffany Young's media tour has been much more interesting than the music that she produced, but if this is what the remaining bit of Girls' Generation has been given to work with, I don't necessarily blame her for jumping ship. "Lil' Touch" is overstuffed without feeling maximal and feels like it's just coasting off the good will of its former girl group. [4]
