Love Me Like ThisNMIXX

NMIXX “Love Me Like This” M/V

NMIXX, who debuted with “O.O” in 2022.

Their 2023 release “Love Me Like This” is recommended for its poppier sound that still makes the most of their signature energetic vibe.

While the melody parts are sung with a soft, R&B-like tone over a bouncy beat, it’s also interesting how the chorus shifts to a hip-hop-style repetition of the same phrase.

Plus, the bridge features solo parts that spotlight the members’ vocal abilities, so be sure to listen for that too!
