Rookies 3WAY Challenge have rebranded to 3WAY, which someway appears much more provocative as a gaggle identify. Confusingly, the group is definitely comprised of 9 members, however I assume 9WAY doesn’t have fairly the identical ring to it. In any case, 9 is divisible by three so I’m positive there’s some that means there.

I fear at any time when I see a brand new tune title that’s additionally an onomatopea. This tends to level towards repetitive, monotonous hooks. “Mm-hmm” isn’t precisely a galvanizing expression, however the observe is a little more dynamic than I anticipated. The beat has a pleasant bounce that includes retro synths into its sharp percussion. And whereas the hook is each bit as vacuous as I feared, the mix of vocal and rap on the verses works fairly effectively. It’s good to listen to extra selection in circulate, with verse two particularly efficient. I get pleasure from the best way the tune leans again into its refrain, although I want there was a larger sense of ambition on the tune’s middle. Sadly, Mm-hmm ends on a clunker, with loud chants taking priority over extra inventive selections.
