In actuality, the acronym stands for “Uddang Tangtang Ladies,” which… doesn’t make issues any extra clear. At any fee, their debut single Actually Actually locations them precisely the place I anticipated it to. It’s a barely extra sprightly model of recent Ok-pop’s beloved “beigepop” development.

To be truthful, the ladies are singing in a extra sturdy trend than most songs of this nature enable and the manufacturing has a little bit of bounce to it.

Nevertheless, the music’s precise refrain is mired within the type of sedated sing-song method that goes in a single ear and out the opposite. Thankfully, Actually Actually advantages from comparisons to its many musical friends, which makes me need to grade it on a curve.
