Okay-pop can usually be a microcosm of confusion. The newly debuted BE BOYS don’t have anything to do with the soon-to-premiere survival sequence B:MY BOYZ, however you’d be forgiven for making the straightforward mistake. Up till a couple of week in the past, I assumed the 2 have been one and the identical. As an alternative, this rookie group is the primary act to return from OAK Firm — an entity I’ve by no means heard of however assume is stationed inside some big tree, Gummi Bears fashion. They’ve debuted with a observe whose title recollects one in all Okay-pop’s most iconic hooks, which must be intentional, proper?
The nugu is powerful with this group. Generally, you may simply hear it in a track. I’m So Sorry, However I Love You has large ambitions to recreate greater hits (Seventeen’s funk right here, BOYNEXTDOOR’s perspective there), however the result’s constrained by plenty of components. The manufacturing feels plug-and-play, missing an id of its personal. And although the fellows burst forth with a ton (and I imply a TON) of power, the vocal efficiency usually feels strained and drowned out by the boisterous instrumental. Their upbeat power earns them some factors, however even this begins to dissipate because the observe wears on. And with none memorable hooks, I’m So Sorry, However I Love You passes by with out leaving a lot of a mark. As with all newly-debuted group, I want them the perfect.
