Cherry Talk is the title track from Aesthetic, the debut EP from tripleS’ second sub-unit +(KR) Crystal Eyes. The song’s original version is based on the Y2K concept popular among current K-pop girl groups. As I said in my review of Aesthetic, Cherry Talk has a girlish charm that doesn’t go too overboard on the sweetness.
I wanted to retain much of the original’s charm for my remix but give it a new twist. I thought I would take the track into New Jack Swing territory, but things went differently as I started building the new instrumental. The finished product leans much more toward the pop side of the musical spectrum, which at least helps keep the tie to what made the original version so appealing intact.
On the technical side, my remix isn’t as robust with layers of sound and effects. You’ll understand what I mean by listening to the Cherry Talk instrumental on the tripleS 4Work4Study4Inst album. In comparison, my remix is relatively stripped down and simple.
