[Review] YOUNITE – YOUNI-Q

Rookie group YOUNITE is back with their second mini-album after only three months since their debut. ‘YOUNI-Q‘ is the title of this release, and with it the members want to expand the colours and unique aura shown in their debut EP ‘YOUNI-BIRTH‘.

Let’s find out what this group has prepared for the fans.

YOUNI-Q

The opening single ‘TRAVELER‘ kicks off with cool and trendy hip-hop beats. Chanting and hype vibes are dominant in this song and it definitely shows a new side of this group. The balance between rap and singing is fantastic and the contrast gives this single a special feel. The transition to the bridge was nothing but smooth and I really enjoyed how experimental and fun the song get on its second half.

AVIATOR‘ is the title single for this release and it is a total trip. Hip-Hop beats meet EDM and instrumentals in this single with a sick mixing and sectioning. This single is a total BOP, is super creative a fun to listen to. It just keeps surprising listeners as it flows. The music video takes a rather minimalistic approach. There are just a few sets and a lot of focus on the performance, however, the members killed it with the choreo and the outro for this MV will have viewers intrigued with what is coming next. Watch it below.

Harmonies and EDM take over in ‘SWISH‘, this single is just super cool, I liked the chill laid back vibe in it. It felt like a “We are cool and we know it” moment, and I am here for it. Again vocals and rapping are in perfect balance for this song and the addition of instrumentals and back vocals are SMOOTH in this track.

Lovely and bright pop beats come along in ‘COME AROUND‘ and this single is a super sweet listen. The old-school disco scratch was a fun little addition to this single and overall had me jamming to it. Super fun.

Closing this release we get the R&B single ‘I LIKE YOU‘, bringing nothing but sweet singing and awesome melodic rapper, definitely a lovely closing track for a very diverse and cool release.
