shallm has dropped a new MV for “chocolate”, a glossy yet slightly bittersweet pop-rock track that leans hard into catchy hooks, emotional contrast, and modern J-pop polish. The song plays with the familiar metaphor of sweetness with a hidden bite—wrapping introspective lyrics in an upbeat, guitar-driven arrangement that feels light on the surface but emotionally layered underneath.
Musically, chocolate balances clean band instrumentation with contemporary pop production, making it feel equally at home in the J-pop and J-rock-adjacent pop-rock space. The MV reinforces that mood with a stylish, character-focused presentation rather than high-concept storytelling—keeping the spotlight on melody, vibe, and vocal delivery.
