taein. – …mm?

taein. is back with her new single “…mm?” and it’s a nice little track with catchy melodies and easy likes which we really liked. It leans into alt R&B with some soft electronic touches but the way it’s put together is quite free and a bit unpredictable in a good way.

The atmosphere is catchy and probably the best part here. It has this dreamy, slightly random feeling, like thoughts drifting around without a clear direction. The production is clean and simple, but there are enough small details to keep things interesting. The beat is great and it makes the song easy to sit with, even on repeat.

Her vocals fit perfectly into this style. taein. has a soft tone that is soft and relaxed and she doesn’t overdo anything. The melodies are catchy but still feel personal, almost like she’s just letting ideas flow. That’s what makes the song stick after a few listens.

The lyrics touch on the feeling of an unexpected crush, but they don’t follow a straight story. It’s more like small thoughts and emotions popping in and out which actually match the sound really well. There’s a playful side to it, but also a bit of confusion, like trying to figure things out in real time.

We really enjoyed her style here. The quality, the melodies and the overall sound feel well thought out but still natural. She’s talented and her music has a nice identity. If you liked this, we also recommend her single “Ephemeral”. It’s softer and full of beautiful melodies.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

There’s been a delay in my emotions. Things would happen, then pass, without leaving much behind for me to remember. When I write songs about them, I realise they were still there all along, waiting for me to catch up. Do you hear it too?
