One other day, one other lady group debuting with a complicated acronym. After I learn “UDTT,” my thoughts goes instantly to “UTI,” which might be not the response the company is searching for. In actuality, the acronym stands for “Uddang Tangtang Women,” which… doesn’t make issues any extra clear. At any price, their debut single Actually Actually locations them precisely the place I anticipated it to. It’s a barely extra sprightly model of contemporary Ok-pop’s beloved “beigepop” development.
To be truthful, the ladies are singing in a extra sturdy vogue than most songs of this nature permit and the manufacturing has a little bit of bounce to it. A enjoyable second verse rap additionally breaks us free from beigepop’s ethereal pacification. A climactic chorus gives a welcome shot of concord earlier than we attain Actually Actually‘s finale. This section repeats as a post-chorus and hints at extra thrilling issues to come back from this group. Nonetheless, the music’s precise refrain is mired within the sort of sedated sing-song strategy that goes in a single ear and out the opposite. Happily, Actually Actually advantages from comparisons to its many musical friends, which makes me need to grade it on a curve.
