Regardless of a promising begin, woman group Billlie has skilled some rising pains as they try to carve out their musical area of interest within the Okay-pop market. As we speak, they’ve opted for his or her first unit monitor. Snap brings collectively lead vocal Moon Sua and lead dancer Siyoon on a hard-hitting hip-hop monitor. Whereas it might showcase some talent, the track itself does nothing for the group’s burgeoning legacy.
From the outset, this fashion of idol hip-hop monitor isn’t for me. Its mix of undulating bass and pots-and-pans percussion has been executed to dying and triggers too many stress factors in my mind to make the music listenable. One thing in regards to the tone of those instrumentals now looks like nails on a chalkboard to me. I actually want the Okay-pop trade would lean into completely different kinds of hip-hop. The style is a lot greater than the shout-rap “I’m the very best” posturing idols churn out time and again (and over) once more.
Think about my eye twitching each time the women shout “snap!” within the hook and also you’ve acquired a fantastic picture to anchor this overview. Moon Sua and Siyoon carry out every thing properly sufficient however none of it feels genuine and doesn’t spotlight their strengths. Visitor rapper Sokodomo is introduced in for the briefest of verses — virtually as an afterthought. As one of many monitor’s composers, I assume they felt he wanted a cameo. To be trustworthy, I’m undecided something about this monitor was wanted in any respect.
