BEAST - "Beautiful Night"

I've never been a big listener of BEAST's music, but I think that's going to change now. Following the release of Fiction and Fact, BEAST is back with their new lead single "Beautiful Night." The dance-pop track is reminiscent of tracks such as Big Bang's "Love Dust" and "Ain't No Fun," but manages to stand out a little bit more.

BEAST was recognized as a strong group in the kpop industry with the realease of their past album, and "Beautiful Night" reaffirms this fact. The dance track fills listeners with a feeling of euphoria and the want to just get up and dance. Most dance tracks at the top of the charts nowadays are very commercial and cheap; this is not the case for "Beautiful Night." The track is well-rounded musically and is of excellent production quality. As a bass fiend I would've liked more bass, but that's the only complaint I can really make. The vocals are very confident and attention-grabbing, but subtle enough to let listeners enjoy the complicated instrumental underneath. The synths are very rich and the guitar line during the hook adds a nice touch.

"Beautiful Night" is definitely a track that could be listened to everyday without losing its punch. Sure, it isn't the most original song out there. But it's perfect for summertime and is of great quality. It's also better than most songs that have attempted the dance-pop genre. 4.8/5
