8TURNRISE

We start off with the track ‘WE’. The opening had me shook. I love a harmonisation moment and this is what they gave us and blended with rock elements. The bass is going completely bonkers in the back and it’s a total vibe. This really is an impressive start of the EP.

After that we get the title track ‘TIC TAC’. This is a really fun hip-hop track that has a couple of Latin influences. It has a really catchy hook and the vocals are impressive.

The video is hilarious and really well done.

‘WONDER’ brings R&B to the album. It’s a really fun track. I really dig the layering during the ’round and round’ part. It’s a very cool track.

Next up is ‘Say My Name’. We’ve got an 808 bass and some hella cool piano. What a fun moment! This is a total earworm! This song begs for a live performance where the entire crowd chants along. I love it.

Closing off we get ‘Heartache‘. It only seems appropriate that they end with a softer song. We’re going future pop with this one and some very cool synths. The track displays their lovely vocals and

Overall ‘8TURNRISE’ is a great debut album by 8TURN. I’m very curious to see where their music journey takes them.
