According to Black Diamond, "Kiss" was released NB-9001 / US, 2/74 w/o "Kissin' Time") This is the more sought after Shhh might not be anything new on the scene nor a song I’d go crazy over but it’s a fun debut song and tells us the girls have a lot to offer, especially when it comes to their great vocals and charisma!įollow hallyureviews on WordPress.Album Originally Released: February 8, 1974. The music video is also very enjoyable and adds a nice additional layer to the song. I do agree with Lina that bridge of Shhh is probably its best part, sounding very dreamy and offering loads of melody and sound that both of us like. I really enjoy the pre-chorus of Shhh as it has a lot of melody and showcases their vocals so well, but the chorus isn’t that bad either! I’m not the biggest fan of the main hook being talk that shhh as it just doesn’t do anything for me, but I really love the back melodies which keep the chorus going for me! Some harmonies and some nice melody that smoothes out the rather random sing-talking. Shhh is an interesting song as it plays around with current k-pop trends when it comes to female artists, combining some more laid-back style and a slightly nostalgic, r&b inspired melody. Let’s see what Shhh is all about and review it today! Above everything else I’d just like to say how much I like the name Kiss Of Life – such a cool group name and finally something without random numbers as well. Anyway, Kiss Of Life have been teasing us with pre-debut music for a bit now and it was apparent they would be pursuing the laid-back, somewhat r&b-ish sound for their group music as well. The album is solid and my favorite solo of the four still has to be Natty’s that one never gets old!įirst of all, bless Lina for keeping the blog alive because my nephew has been a tornado to handle these past 10 or so days and I’ve been out of the loop when it comes to pretty much everything. Since we have reviewed all of the songs in our roundup before I will keep it short. Overall, a pretty solid debut and it suits the rest of the singles they released prior to this. The bridge of Shhh is definitely the highlight of the song. The girls keep it lowkey and cool with a semi catchy hook that will worm itself into your brain. It seems like the perfect reply though to current girl group trends. However, Shhh isn’t bad but also not the grand bombastic debut I expected. It is one of those spoken ones that seem to be on trend atm. The vibe is there definitely, we have some mellow r&b grooves going on along with some nice vocals, while the pre-chorus kind of builds up to something more the chorus is rather low-key. Shhh combines the sounds of all of the four members’ individual songs in one big song. Shhh is only one of two full group songs on this album and it is the clear title of this mini album. Their agency definitely did a good job with introducing them. This debut is pretty interesting as Shhh is the climax of all of the songs coming together, even the story line between the music videos seems connected. Overall, I can say that they were all super duper solid and I am really happy to see Natty finally debut in her own group. Well this debut has felt like a long time coming! KISS OF LIFE teased us with a music video for every single one of their songs on this debut mini album.
