The co-ed ChoCo1 x ChoCo2 debuted earlier this yr with a little bit of on-line controversy that felt manufactured to spawn dialogue. The precise music was fairly dire, reheating sounds popularized by ALLDAY PROJECT final yr. Now, they’re again selling b-side Frenzy. This one’s extra palatable than its predecessor however nonetheless struggles to justify the group’s place in Okay-pop’s overstuffed panorama.
Frenzy earns additional factors by not shouting its title at us over and over. As an alternative, the hook is sung-chanted. Like a lot fashionable Okay-pop, it has a sing-song nature paying homage to a nursery rhyme. Coupled with the group’s younger age, this makes all of the badass posing really feel type of compelled. Given totally different manufacturing (I’d love to listen to massive pageant EDM), this could possibly be a pleasant little bit of responsible pleasure enjoyable, however the manufacturing begins and stops too typically to realize any actual enchantment. At most factors, it merely looks like a child messing round with a drumkit as their sister dances across the room singing “la la la.”
