[J-Pop] Japanese dance music that makes you want to start dancing (71–80)
slow…Snow Man
“slow…” is a cool, masculine-feel track released in 2023 by the nine-member male idol group Snow Man.
It’s a slow-tempo dance number where their sexy vocals blend perfectly with the groove, making it super cool.
In particular, the structure—where it strips down to just vocals before the chorus and then brings in top-line synthesizers that create a mysterious vibe in the chorus, a technique often used in recent K-pop like BLACKPINK—is absolutely irresistible!
