There is no amazing or aesthetically pleasing concept for this comeback that A.C.E had previously teased through their more recent comebacks. I think everything that I have described so far makes Changer another strong release from the group. Other memorable moments include the song’s addictive post-chorus hook (which I already mentioned, but requires more attention) that is on repeat in my head after the song wraps up each time, Donghun’s stunning high note at the start of the final chorus and Wow’s rap sequence (which has great momentum). the ‘ da‘ that he sings at the end of one of his lines). The chorus of Changer was definitely showcased the group’s vocals, with Chan delivering one of the song’s many memorable moments (i.e. In Changer, this heavy beat as it gives the song some much needed oomph and bite to it. Others are more obvious, such as the heavy beat that accompanies the more typical tropical synths in this song, which reminds me of their more intense releases. Some of it may be subtle, such as the post-chorus, which felt harsh relative to the rest of the song resembling some of their crazier EDM drops from early on in their careers.
It also brings forth some elements within it that reminds me of A.C.E’s earlier works. Changer still manages to put a fun spin on the topic by remaining upbeat and bright. But saying that, it isn’t an emotional release from the group in the sense that it is heart wrenching or tear-inducing. This might be due to the more sentimental route their lyrics took, which features a message about staying together forever (which undoubtedly is a promise to fans about continuing promotions as a group after the military enlistment that all the members would need to go through). While Changer still falls into EDM realm of music, it is noticeably lighter in tone than comparison to some of their more well known works. But anyhow, it is new music from A.C.E, so I am not complaining. This form of a repackaged album (more so compilation album) might be a temporary parting gift from A.C.E to their fans, as members Wow and Donghun are confirmed to be enlisting later this month. In fact, Changer: Dear Eris features a tracklist of new songs that we have not heard before alongside Changer, such as the Korean version of Down (which was a collaboration that A.C.E participated in with American duo Grey earlier this year) and remixes of Cactus (their debut single) amongst other new tracks. Unlike other repackaged albums, this one is not related to Siren: Dawn. This follows the mini-album that they released back in in June ( Siren: Dawn – which I have yet to review, but it’s coming soon) and the title track, Higher. It is the title track off their second repackaged album and is titled Changer: Dear Eris. Excuse me while I skip back and forth on the blog to catch up on reviews.
