There are just a few idol group acronyms I all the time should re-research when new materials rolls round. Whereas I acknowledge the identify VVUP, I can’t immediately recall considered one of their songs. Trying again, the group’s tune scores have fallen between a “7” and an “8” on this weblog, which explains my confusion. Songs inside that vary are likely to mix into one another.
New single Home Occasion is lifeless set on changing into memorable by repetition. Nearly all of the tune entails VVUP saying “it’s a home occasion” time and again. I can get behind its campy nature, which jogs my memory of the not-so-serious Ok-pop of generations previous. The tune is kind of silly in a enjoyable method, from its plonky dance beat to the deadpan supply. Nevertheless, a observe like this additionally wants killer hooks to flourish long-term. Like so many dance bangers of this period, Home Occasion is pushed by an excessive amount of monotone talking for my style. It’s pleasurable for about ninety seconds, however even two and a half minutes is a stretch for this fashion. With that mentioned, that is solely a pre-release so we’ll see if the group can develop it additional for his or her precise comeback.
