Bboom Bboom 2 confirmed

Source: Official Kmusic
The Philippines might have another LSS and dance covers to make, and another undivided attention to Nancy as Momoland returns with their latest mini-album Fun to the World, with the carrier single "Baam".

I say that their image is upgrading. It has already matured in Great! This time around they are leveling it up. We are brought to an international concept in "Baam", and this is what might surprise us. I simply say that this concept in the MV might be showing how the group is beginning to try to earn global fans, that if we mean the 9 artists as a whole. But guess a country that is featured in the MV, and who carries its flag.

Love it, nonetheless.




From Bboom to Baam
The music might be in some ways similar to their hit "Bboom Bboom". One feature where the two songs are similar is the structure, which includes another synth brass hook as well as another rap part nailed by Daisy, and pre-choruses well-delivered by Jane, who has stood out in the MV, and Taeha, who I find must be given more screen time in future endeavors. Nonetheless, both have gained higher screen times in "Baam" compared to their previous hit. The dance as well makes them move like bells in the chorus. Nevertheless, I love how they do some shuffling as well on that part (remember "Party Rock Anthem"?). And again they took advantage of trends, this time the "Shoot Dance" and "Dame Tu Cosita".

If there's one thing worth noticing here, it's not really the "find the hidden jewel" game (I cannot find it yet). It is how the other members have been more highlighted in this performance. Yeonwoo gains much screen time, taking over refrains. There's something in what she did at "Bboom Bboom" which was translated in "Baam". In fairness, I find it more comfortable to look at. 

Jane, meanwhile, stands out more. For me she's the one leveling up in this new release. In their promotional material for the album I find her stunning. That further sinks in here in "Baam". I'm afraid another bias breaker is occurring.

 New album, new challenges
Along with "Baam" is another 4-track release entitled Fun To The World. A good listen, although it seems it has not much challenged what Great! provided. Nonetheless, "Very Very" is my pick on this album. It could have been the single which could have further built an upgraded comeback. Or at least it could be a follow-up to "Baam" (I hoped the same for "Fly" after "Bboom", too bad it was just wishful thinking).

"Only One You" is a fine mid-tempo (?) addition, but I still miss their mellow side, as shown by their first two albums. They really do great singing ballads, especially with Jane and Taeha pulling off good vocals. I hope they could go back to that easy listening side in their future songs.

As much as they returned, controversies have also come back challenging the 9-member girl group. Add to that Nayun's break from performing after it was found that she has "vestibular disorder". The trail the group is going is apparently one that must be overcome with effort. Amidst these challenges, the group remains promising as they continue to work hard promoting the new release. I look forward to future content that will amaze their fans more than "Baam", as well as withstand haters.

The Rhythms of Me

As a young boy, I'll usually get to listen to RJ 100 , an adult contemporary--that's the genre of the music they're playing--radio station in the Philippines. Also, I'll listen to songs from CDs containing mostly 80s music. And as I grew up, my interest in old school music went on. As a freshman, I listened to such stations like 99.5 RT , Magic 89.9 , 96.3 Easy Rock and 105.1 Crossover for nice old school music. I listened and searched for music from bands like Men Without Hats, Fra Lippo Lippi, V.S.T and Co., Bee Gees, Naked Eyes, Eurythmics, Industry, JoBoxers, The Go Go's, Nena, Toto, Huey Lewis and The News, Hall and Oates; and artists like Rick Astley, Phil Collins, and Michael Jackson on the Internet. But most of all, my interest for old school music grew during this recent summer and as a sophomore. As I spent my sweet summer before I went on 2nd year in high school, I learned about Tears for Fears, China Crisis,Level 42,our very own bands here like The Daw...

Adrian The Silent

Source: http://www.katarinaforss.com/img/silence.jpg I know it in myself. I cannot deny it. Many people, especially very close friends in high school, see me as a talkative (at the least) and engaging guy. By timing and exposure, I get to speak and talk and converse among people. Yet, many still have an impression of me as the opposite, and I don't deny that. At many circumstances, I'm silent. Quiet. Static. Loner. But, silent is the best term I'll accept. Perhaps this is one of my marks of being a writer; a mark making my desire for writing really fit to me; perhaps the reason why I'm inclined to make my voice heard through written words rather than spoken ones. But, believe me, I want to break that silence. I've already did that before, but I want to do it again. I seek to break the barriers that are still there, and have more connections while still being myself. I've recently heard and learned that it is said that there are 4 personalities in general: sangui...

My Tracks of The Year: 2023

There is a segment on a radio show airing on mid-mornings on BBC Radio 2 in the United Kingdom, where for an entire week (Monday to Friday) a celebrity guest or a well-known personality shares his or her favorite songs, most of which have defined one's life and career. Hence, the title " Tracks of My Years ." I find it a very interesting concept for radio, since songs tell much of one's journey through life. And even in just a span of a year, there's much to tell about someone in songs. With that, I have thought to put a twist to the aforementioned concept and share with you those tracks that mark moments, circumstances, and sentiments throughout the soon passing year. I got many of them from my Spotify Wrapped playlist , but I also selected some within the wide range of what I discovered this year. I'm delighted to share with you "My Tracks of the Year" for 2023. (Scroll past the following Spotify playlist as we go through each track.) 1. Through T...
