Quick Reviews: (G)I-DLE’s “Nxde” is an interesting concept with flawed execution
Following their smash hit “TOMBOY” (that eventually grew on me), (G)I-DLE are back with “Nxde“, which has drawn a lot of praise in the build-up for their concept.
Well, I do think that was deserved, as the high art-ish concept was indeed intriguing. However:
- The chorus of “TOMBOY” combined with their charisma eventually won me over despite some blatant awkward parts, but man from the very start “Nxde” is asking a lot in terms of overlooking the obsession with odd English interjection and grating quasi-rap sections.
- The chorus on “Nxde” is supposed to be slinky, but instead is just a generic-sounding period instrumental with a surprising amount of dead air before some slow-paced vocal bursts.
The pre-chorus was the highlight here and if the rest of the song was like that I could find myself buying in, but as is this is an interesting concept with a scattershot and flawed execution.
