BOOM

  The background ambiance and use of overwhelming samples and sound effects in “BOOM” make it feel like it is being played in a mall. The occasional “Tick tick tick” offers some flair to the listening experience, but the song ranks lower among my favorites within the EP. Although a satisfying moment of this song is at minute 2:25, NMIXX takes an unexpected turn, speeding the pace to develop a more pop, TikTok-esque sound, converting the song from mediocre to engaging. Although the light synths are not my preference, NMIXX manages to continue their trademark of quirky beats.
