[Review] GHOST9 – ARCADE:V

The guys from GHOST9 are back with a brand new EP and a new era with ‘ARCADE:V’. This is the beginning of a new concept where they are exploring new music and starting a new journey.

Let’s get right into the music and check what they have prepared for this new era.

ARCADE:V

The intro ‘Dot‘ kicks off with intense EDM arrangements and strong vocals. Just with the beginning I am really liking where this release is heading.

We go right into the title track ‘X-Ray‘ with an EDM track and a cool synth line. The Hip-Hop style in this song is super cool, and the harmonisations and rapping just superb. There is a mysterious vibe in the song that I really dig and overall this song is powerful and a solid title track.

In the music video, the members are rocking it with their outfits and fantastic colour game and camera work. The contrast and effects in the MV are super dope, and the transition just smooth. Check it below.

Electronic synth and bass follow up in ‘CHAMPION‘, this single goes right into giving listeners energy and hype them up. The rap-line goes off and owns this track with awesome delivery and a flawless flow. Get ready to feel the energy as if you were in a boxer’s ring with this track.

T.Y.T (Take You There)‘ follows up, and with this song we really get to appreciate the sweet vocals of the members of GHOST9. This song super sweet and just super cute. It kinda felt like a romantic summer single. Adorable.

Next up is ‘Always, All ways‘ with a funky rhythm and a lot of style, the sax in this song is amazing and I really love how the orchestration was built up and blended so well with the EDM tunes. This single is super catchy and fun to listen to.

Last but not least we get the single ‘Stranger‘, with dreamy like vibe and a R&B flow. This song is a smooth listen and definitely a solid end for this very captivating mini-album.
