Co-produced by Heize and SUGA, “We don’t talk together” does give me high hopes for this song, and it didn’t disappoint.
The song begins with an organ synth, which I thought was an interesting choice as it forebodes the content of the song - burying an old relationship. Next comes the swing-ish woodblock that immediately propels forward and sets the whole vibe of the song. Moreover, the chorus is just like any Heize typical songs, with airy humming and woos at the background, plus that signature bouncy synth that was commonly used (including her recent winter release “First Sight”).
But it doesn’t mean that this song doesn’t have its weak moments. For instance, its unnecessary trap breakdown which arrives in the middle of the rap session (or verse 2 as I call it) disrupts the flow of the song, and the amount of autotune in the rap conforms to typical rap music. I feel like Heize and SUGA did not need to make that compromise as the song itself loses originality when they added trendier sounds that are overused these days.
Heize is definitely one of my personal favourites when it comes to Korean solo artists, and I am glad that each time she brings out her signature sound but adds a different twist to it. Heize’s music is definitely one of a kind in the whole K-Pop landscape, and I am sure this will be one of the summer bops that I constantly go back for more listens.
