A Okay-pop act’s title observe isn’t at all times the most effective track on their album, even when it’s the one most individuals will hear. Typically, b-sides deserve recognition too. Within the singles-oriented world of Okay-pop, I wish to highlight a few of these buried treasures and provides them the props they deserve.
The Boyz’ dynamic title observe VVV is a pink herring on their new album, which has a a lot decrease tempo and is usually full of R&B-leaning songs. It makes for a little bit of a disjointed pay attention, although I get the sense that the members themselves desire the sound of those b-sides over the shiny bombast of their promoted materials.
The one track that looks like an appropriate pair to VVV comes close to the album’s conclusion. Miss Demeanor isn’t as over-the-top large, however its slinky funk sound kicks up vitality to echo a few of their previous titles. This might have simply been part of their Phantasy sequence from 2023. Ethereal vocals glide over a bouncy beat, swerving right into a enjoyable call-and-response hook. To be sincere, I needed to lookup the Korean phrase “유혹” on this part as a result of at first I assumed they had been saying “you hoe, is that so?” which might have been pleasant in its personal approach. Alas, the lyrics are extra standard than tongue-in-cheek. That doesn’t cease this from being numerous enjoyable, although!
