Monsta X climbs the chart

Have you ever fallen all over yourself in the chart-riding Monsta X’s singular English language numbers? Monsta X’s own brand of Korean beat leads the listeners to their authentic, sticky dance pop, newly available to all the world’s music-prone ears. WHO DO YOU LOVE, Their first, rap-pop track in the newest album, ALL ABOUT LUV, flows naturally like crime movies seemingly made and sung by a native English speaker. The vocal is genuine R&B, cold and warmness alternate between themselves, and listeners are lost in the youthful rhythm, and the oh-so-K-pop syncopations are not missed, although not severe as in BTS’s last album but one. Another singular pop-rock track, GOT MY NUMBER sends the lyric flying and repeating itself, “You got my number”. The second we-are-capable song, LOVE U, is arranged as if it shines like pebbles under the water. Sophisticated vocals such as those rap-made and sung by Monsta X (featuring multiple rappers, multiple singers) are bound to give lasting, pleasant surprises.
