Song Review: Hwasa (Mamamoo) – Good Goodbye

I used to be fortunate to be entrance row at Hwasa’s showcase stage throughout this yr’s KCON LA and that efficiency crystallized her strengths as an artist. Although I haven’t at all times cherished her solo work, she’s racked up a strong discography of assorted materials. And with Hwasa’s charismatic execution, practically something can flip into successful.

New single Good Goodbye is a departure from the sassy, upbeat materials she often releases, taking the power down for a languid temper piece. The music is sparsely produced, notably throughout its verses. These segments cross by with out a lot impression, leaving the heavy lifting to the refrain.

Good Goodbye facilities on a breezy hook that blends sentiment with pop shimmer. I’m undecided if one thing may be “muted” and “anthemic” on the similar time, however the refrain blurs this line in a satisfying means. I really feel like I’ve heard its melody earlier than in Ok-pop (it’s very Teddy-coded, truly), however the familiarity works to the music’s profit. In the end, the monitor is just too slight to elicit many sparks — particularly after such a protracted hiatus since her final comeback.
