B1A4 Showcase New Emotional & Musical Sides in 'A Lie': Watch
With every B1A4 release, it feels like the group crafts a new single that sees them exploring new territory but also is specifically catered to their strengths. After more than a year away from the K-pop scene, the group returns with a stirring new single that sees them blending a slew of different genres and sentiments.
"A Lie" opens with a beat-driven, rock-pop sound a la Coldplay with a high tempo that seems like it'll eventually transform into a dance cut. Soon enough, the chorus hits to slow down the tempo as dreamy strings, trappy snares and hip-hop chants are all brought into the ambitious mix. The new single still has the boy-band charm and emotion B1A4 always brought to past singles, but their latest feels like a deliberate move to showcase more complex arrangement and tackle more styles.
