NGHT - Redefine

It's always interesting to see what band members create after a group breaks up. In the case of the Ark, lead singer Ola Salo went solo with music very similar to that of the band. He was always the face, though, and seemingly the driving force behind most of the Ark's music. Jens Andersson and Mikael Jepson played keyboards and lead guitar, respectively, and have brought both of those skills to this new track that they produced under the moniker NGHT. Redefine is a departure for the guys. It's far more influenced by dance and club music than anything the Ark did. But it's not the newer, trendier EDM that they're taking as inspiration. Instead, it seems to be the simpler, campier stuff that was popular in the late nineties. The high pitch of the vocals in the chorus reminds me a little bit of Scooter, but not annoying like most Scooter songs were. Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about the song as a whole yet. It has a very inorganic, produced feel that kind of puts me off, but I do love that hook and beat.
