It’s been a few yr since I final wrote about woman group VVUP, although I notice I combined them up with the newly debuted VVS in my thoughts, assuming they have been one and the identical. That’s what your insistent acronyms do to us, Ok-pop! That’s additionally what forgettable music does, as I can’t keep in mind a single previous VVUP observe regardless of coated every intimately. So, I suppose we are able to think about Giddy Boy a contemporary begin of types.
The overwhelming majority of Giddy Boy merely reheats present woman group tropes which have been run into the bottom, nevertheless it has a number of vibrant factors. Verse two is underlined by an upbeat electro groove that ought to have grow to be the observe’s foremost calling card. Then, throughout the pre-choruses we’re greeted by a ceremonial synth loop that jogs my memory of 2 Limitless’s tacky 90’s dance anthems. Aspect observe: wouldn’t or not it’s superior if a Ok-pop group coated 2 Limitless??
Sadly, these partaking parts drown in a sea of repetitive “Come giddy, giddy, giddy, giddy, giddy boy.” (At one level, the group additionally proclaims “I’m the queen of this metropolis, name me Litty,” which can grow to be my new calling card). This refrain isn’t really as annoying because it sounds on paper, however nonetheless spoils a lot of the goodwill different segments of Giddy Boy construct. I want the tune would simply choose one sonic factor and excel at it. As an alternative, it’s in fixed flux — and somewhat than add curiosity this merely makes it really feel as if the rug is frequently being pulled underfoot.
