Beat It Up
Opening the mini-album is the title track ‘Beat It Up’, a hip-hop driven single packed with effortless swagger. As expected, the dreamies deliver an impressive build-up, complemented by tasteful instrumental additions throughout the song. The vocal line truly shines with smooth tones, gorgeous ad-libs, and standout vocal layering.
Next is ‘Rush’, which immediately grabs attention with its striking intro. Similar to the title track, the intricate pace changes and instrumental mix make this single extremely captivating. The subtle pauses add even more fluidity, while the warm acoustic guitar touches elevate the arrangement beautifully.
R&B and pop blend seamlessly in ‘Cold Coffee’. The vocal line opens the track on a soft, delicate note, accompanied by gentle harmonies. As the song evolves, it becomes a comforting, feel-good listen with rich vocal layers and rap verses delivered with a softer, mellow tone.
We dive deeper into emotions with ‘Butterflies’, where the vocalists deliver a stunning performance. The combination of soft yet powerful vocals and a moving instrumental arrangement makes this track a standout emotional moment on the album.
Adding a contrasting shift in energy, ‘Tempo’ highlights the rap-line at its strongest. This single leans into old-school hip-hop vibes, with sharp flows, quick delivery, and a strong groove. It’s a fun, high-energy listen that keeps the momentum going.
Closing the album is ‘TRICKY’, wrapping things up with another hip-hop-oriented sound. The deep bass gives the track a cool edge, and even the vocal line joins in with melodic rap moments. It’s a dynamic and refreshing way to end the mini-album.
With ‘Beat It Up’, the dreamies present a well-balanced release filled with effortless coolness, strong performances, and a cohesive sound. Make sure to check out the mini-album!
