[Review] UP10TION – Light Up

TOP Media boy group UP10TION is back with their ninth mini-album ‘Light Up’. These very talented guys have been releasing amazing music since 2015, so go and check their music and give them more love, they absolutely deserve it.

For now, let’s check this release. 

Light Up

The title track ‘Light’ starts off this release with a very catchy rhythm, cool layering and great vocals. I absolutely loved the build up of this track and how they incorporated EDM in the chorus. The music video is colourful, kinda mysterious and it is full of outstanding visuals. Check it below. 

With a more playful sound we get ‘Destiny’, this song is fantastic to groove to, the whistling throughout the full track was a really fun addition.

Stop The Clock’ starts off funky and I am here for it. This track is smooth and I absolutely loved the composition and arrangement. The instrumentation is super cool and the rapping at the beginning of the bridge was amazing. That high note towards the end is freaking legendary, I will definitely have this track on repeat for a while.

With a slower tempo ‘Dawn’ plays, this has a certain mysterious vibe that I totally dig. The harmonization is top notch, and overall this track has a kinda dark aura that I didn’t expect but it was a great addition to this release.

Spanish guitar opens up ‘Waiting For You’ and continues to flow throughout the entire track. This song feels almost seductive, and had me absolutely hooked as soon as it started.

We finish this great mini-album with ‘Empty House’ and what a way to close a release. This song is amazing with stunning instrumentation and vocals. The mixing and layering are incredible and had me shook. A piece of art. 

Make sure to listen to this release here. You won’t regret it.
