I’m no fan of MEOVV’s latest mini album, as it abandons most of the sounds I enjoy from their past music. However, its third track In My Hands stuck out as the obvious highlight to me so I’m glad they’ve chosen to promote it with its own video.
Most of Bite Now is braggadocios bluster over reheated hip-hop beats. That’s about half of In My Hands as well, but its chorus pulls in a synth-heavy dance beat to underline the “empowering” platitudes. Do I wish the entire song sounded like this? Absolutely! In My Hands misses the chance to go full-on club from the start, but it pulls us out of the murk long enough to offer a pleasant distraction. MEOVV’s voices are rich with character and it’s nice to hear them sing. More than anything, In My Hands sounds like a bridge to better material in the future. More of this and less of DDI RO RI, please.
