A Ok-pop act’s title observe isn’t at all times the perfect track on their album, even when it’s the one most individuals will hear. Typically, b-sides deserve recognition too. Within the singles-oriented world of Ok-pop, I wish to highlight a few of these buried treasures and provides them the props they deserve.

The Boyz’ dynamic title observe VVV is a purple herring on their new album, which has a a lot decrease tempo and is generally stuffed with R&B-leaning songs. It makes for a little bit of a disjointed pay attention, although I get the sense that the members themselves want the sound of those b-sides over the shiny bombast of their promoted materials.

The one track that looks like an acceptable pair to VVV comes close to the album’s conclusion. Miss Demeanor isn’t as over-the-top big, however its slinky funk sound kicks up power to echo a few of their previous titles. This might have simply been part of their Phantasy sequence from 2023. Ethereal vocals glide over a bouncy beat, swerving right into a enjoyable call-and-response hook. To be trustworthy, I needed to search for the Korean phrase “유혹” on this part as a result of at first I assumed they had been saying “you hoe, is that so?” which might have been pleasant in its personal means. Alas, the lyrics are extra standard than tongue-in-cheek. That doesn’t cease this from being quite a lot of enjoyable, although!
