Review: Seventeen Offer Fleeting Distraction With New EP

The six-track records strategy is to offer easily palatable fare for this difficult period and what better way than to burrow in nostalgia? First single Home;run is an upbeat poppyfied lindy hop that gets the energy up in the room, followed by a slow burn trap bass line with Doremi; Hey Buddy has a playful 80s instrumentation vibe that pairs well with the easy listening aura of Ah!Love!; Light a Flame has the whole orchestra pitch in with a Latin-flavored tune while All My Love catches a whiff of one of those 90s boyband hooks.

;(Semicolon) sums up the entire year perfectly: a little entertainment, a little distraction and, as the hours pass, a little forgettable.
