Tune Assessment: YOUNITE – Bomba

I don’t know what’s occurring over in YOUNITE world, however the promotion for Bomba is regarding. The tune was launched over per week in the past to no fanfare and solely now has a (efficiency) video. The group has but to put it on the market on music exhibits. None of those developments bode effectively for the company’s confidence in YOUNITE. As a longtime Ok-pop fan, I’ve been down this street many occasions earlier than and I see warning indicators popping up throughout.

This might simply be an overreaction, and I hope so as a result of YOUNITE have some first rate hip-hop of their discography. I nonetheless maintain final yr’s foolish Geekin in excessive regard. Sadly, Bomba gained’t be becoming a member of it on my playlist. The enjoyable appears to have leaked out of this tune, changed by the perfunctory boy group bluster that mars so many tracks of this fashion. The rap is usually shouted (and even worse, smothered in vocal results) till it feels extra like the fellows are yelling at you. I don’t like to be yelled at (who does?) and it actually impacts my enjoyment of a observe.

Bomba additionally struggles to discover a hook price revisiting. Its refrain goes from mumbling to errant fragments of melody. Neither excessive works effectively, and Bomba additional devolves as we veer into some messy breakdowns late within the observe. Total, the tune merely embraces the identical brash vitality all through. This rapidly develop monotonous and — at worst — exhausting.

Grade: D+
