The situation
MEOVV's latest mini album, Bite Now, has been met with lukewarm reception, but its third track "In My Hands" stands out as a highlight. The song's chorus features a synth-heavy dance beat, which is a welcome departure from the rest of the album's hip-hop sound. Despite this, the song doesn't fully commit to its more upbeat elements, instead opting for a mix of styles.
What the internet did with it
- A commenter noted that "this would have been an amazing song if the entire song sounded like the chorus", highlighting the disparity between the song's verse and chorus.
- Another fan expressed hope for a remix version of the song, focusing more on the chorus beat, to make the song more enjoyable to listen to without the "boring verse".
- A review of the song described it as a "pleasant distraction" from the rest of the album, with MEOVV's voices being "rich with character", but ultimately feeling like a missed opportunity to create something more impactful.
The open question
Will MEOVV take the feedback from fans and critics to heart and release a revised version of "In My Hands" that leans more into its synth-heavy dance beat, or will they continue to experiment with their sound in future releases? The possibility of a remix version has been floated, but there's been no official word from the group or their label.
