Efficiency movies don’t at all times warrant a full overview on this website, particularly once they’re supporting follow-up tracks somewhat than fully-promoted titles. Nonetheless, I understand how common BABYMONSTER’s music has change into and assume followers could need a house to debate the deserves of Billionaire. This tune follows 5 (!) different promoted tracks on the album — a visible strategy YG Leisure has been using because the days of 2NE1. We nonetheless haven’t reached the album’s nadir (Woke Up In Tokyo) and I ponder if the company shall be courageous sufficient to offer that lowlight any kind of visible illustration.

Among the many tracks promoted to this point, Billionaire sits comfortably within the center. Like title observe Drip, it’s acquired a pleasant groove however doesn’t actually transcend that. The strummed rhythm guitar strongly recollects the early-2000’s whereas the assured refrain echoes Okay-pop favourite “aren’t you jealous of how nice I’m?” subject material. A enjoyable dance break injects additional funk and tight harmonies that ought to have been sprinkled extra judiciously all through the observe. Total, the tune feels as if it may have been recorded by anybody. It’s trendy and smooth however finally too empty to encourage a lot pleasure.
