Last week, AKMU’s Chanhyuk pre-released the slow burn Out Of My Mind as a teaser for his second full length album. The album has a retro, synth-kissed sound with an idiosyncratic flair different from the hyper-commercialized 80’s revivalism that took over pop music in the early-2020s.

Ever since his debut as part of AKMU, Chanhyuk’s songwriting has boasted a unique flavor that can’t be found anywhere else. I could easily imagine Vivid LaLa Love as an AKMU single and…

Now, it’s time to see if the album’s second title track can do the same. Chiller‘s opening bars don’t inspire much confidence. Dream ask if we’re “ready for this” as tepid trap beats unfold. I’m always ready for a good…
