Ave Maria (from Parallel/Rainbow – 2017)

Oh, I like this track a lot. It opens with an addictive freestyle synth loop that borrows from the 80’s while still managing to sound completely current. The verses have great drive in the classic GFriend style. The first half of the chorus is a bit of a fake out in the sense that it doesn’t really clobber you with the force you might expect, but the second half brings things home with plenty of punch. A few extra touches could easily bring this up to a nine, but it’s still an easy album highlight.
