'
Earcandy' is the soundtrack to the best night of your life, from early excitement to late-night chats in dimly lit living rooms.
Singing in both English and Japanese opens up the 'Misoverse' even further, splicing together sugary sweet K-pop with UK garage beats and laid-back lo-fi vocals, culminating most clearly in capturing opening track '
Love Train'. 'POP!' is a bouncy hyperpop tune designed for popstar group choreography, before Metronomy's feature on '
Good Kisses' brings a glitchy feel that mirrors the lyric's tale of romantic uncertainty. '
Playboi' grounds the record in an R&B-adjacent track that swells and swirls round layered vocal lines, twisting away from the airy, kawaii first half, a feeling that is driven home in sultry Spanish guitar-slash-bedroom pop banger '
Done.'.
It's clear why
Miso Extra chose 'Earcandy' as the album's title, with the album having an addictive quality that is hammered home by the tracklist, descending from potentially sickly dance-pop into dark rave tracks such as '
Slow Down' that feels like going from sugar rush to sugar crash, but in the best way, with closing tracks 'Candycrushin' (ft. Tyson)' and 'Earcandy' bringing enough soulful R&B to calm and cool everything down.
