NEXZ are back with new music in their fourth mini-album, ‘SAUCIN’‘. This release is described as one that captures the group’s energy, confidence, and growth, and we were definitely curious to see how they would translate that into their music.
Let’s dive right in and check out this release.
SAUCIN’
Kicking off this release is ‘LOCO‘, opening with playful beats and a rather catchy hook. The groove in this single is super fun, and we loved the addition of Latin house. Definitely a very strong opener.
The title track, ‘SAUCIN’‘, takes over next with Eurodance beats that give the song plenty of festival potential. This single is refreshing and summery, with a melody that is not only catchy but also incredibly vibey to listen to. The energy peaks with this one, and we loved the confidence the members bring to the track.
House and hip-hop meet in ‘APPETITE‘, which was co-written and co-composed by members Tomoya, Haru, and Huey. The track plays with an effortless groove and fiery rap sections, while the chanting adds even more energy. The result is a hype track that immediately gets you moving.
‘UPGRADE‘ takes over next with a super cool arrangement combining hip-hop beats with flawless sectioning. The chanting is fantastic, and the progression is incredibly smooth and addictive.
Next up is ‘20 NOW‘, giving us an accelerating listening experience from its opening before easing into a much more chill sound. The vocal line totally goes off in this single, shining through with their delivery and emotional performance.
Closing out this release is ‘ALIENS‘, bringing a pop-rock mix with a lovely synth line. The harmonies are absolutely stunning, and the energy of the track wraps up the mini-album beautifully.
NEXZ delivered a very fun, vibey, and cool release. This mini-album is diverse and showcases another side of the group, giving us plenty of different sounds while maintaining their energy and identity. Make sure to give ‘SAUCIN” a listen!
