Because We’re Star

EXID “We Are…”

Half the sounds in “We Are” seem like they’ve been slightly smudged or blotted out, as if the purely digital tones have been altered by physical conditions. It gives the song a soft, hazy sound – very summery, but the part of summer where the air feels heavy and the sun is more glare than shine. The underlying groove feels right for this atmosphere. It’s a very ‘90s sort of R&B/rap hybrid that is only slightly updated to sound contemporary, and there’s enough English being sung that it can mostly pass for a lost TLC song that just happened to be mostly performed in Korean.
