Unexpectedly, the summer time of 2026 is changing into the summer time of Kara. Simply final week, buzzy group RESCENE launched a note-for-note cowl of their 2008 hit Fairly Woman and now Younger Posse have delivered a track constructed on a pattern of the 2009 blockbuster Mr. Whereas it’s good to be reminded of Ok-pop classics, I want the business’s present producers might discover a method to write new music as beautiful as these originals somewhat than merely rip them off.

Younger Posse are recent off releasing one of many 12 months’s worst tracks and have come again to terrorize us with a mixtape. By their very definition, mixtapes provide extra creative freedom and decrease danger than a full comeback, which is the right set-up for a multitude like Mr. 2026. Girls and gents, we’d simply have a worse Mr. cowl/tribute than that ghastly try final 12 months.

However whereas I’ve no want to take heed to Mr. 2026 once more, I respect it a bit greater than a straight-up cowl as a result of a minimum of the women attempt to do one thing totally different. On this case, they’ve sped up the unique hook to chipmunk ranges, thrown it over a nasty lure beat and rattled off the refrain just a few instances with none actual want to present it the chutzpah it requires. Your project at present is to go hear to the unique and instantly play this revamped model afterward. I can consider no higher distinction to characterize how Ok-pop has modified over the previous seventeen years. I’ll allow you to determine whether or not you suppose that change was for higher or worse.
