Adding to the girl group explosion this year, the sister group to B1A4, Oh My Girl, has dropped their new mini-album. The first single off the album, "Cupid," is produced by Shin Hyuk, whose production chops include songs by Justin Bieber. The song is perfectly-timed: springtime, a season for falling in love.
The album opens with the intro song "Oh My Girl!" It's serviceable,and sets the tone for the rest of the disc nicely.
"Cupid," the title track, is a cute tune punctuated with a clattering drum beat, high-sounding synths, and radio-friendly chants: "Hey cupid has shot my heart!" This is also by far the liveliest song on the album. They chose to highlight Seunghee as one of their strongest vocalists -- just listen to those sustains near the end! The one surprise was Mimi, the rapper. This is something that most of the cute girl bands lack, and it makes these girls stand out.
"Hot Summer Nights" is a pleasant, if predictable, summer lovers' song. They keep it firmly G-rated (which means that it likely won't get banned), talking about footprints in the sand, holding hands, and the waves crashing on the beach. The tune is light, poppy, fun, and again has Mimi coming in near the end with her pitter-patter raps. They're not the best I've heard, but they sound good enough.
The last song, "Curious Questions," sounds a lot like "Hot Summer Nights," at least at first. There's more rests during the song, which, along with the whistling synth, separates it from previous song. That and the fact there's no rapping on this track. It saunters along at an enjoyable pace and is a sweet finish for the album.
Insomniac Jungkook is trying to get a regular sleep pattern so he can work more and get his life back to what it was before it all fell apart thanks to a bad work situation with the company he used to work for. One night he stumbles upon a late night radio show and he finds himself getting some decent sleep which starts him on a road to discover who the radio host is.
This story is part of the Slow Burn fest on Twitter and the product of the following prompt by anonymous:
Prompt:
Jungkook has insomnia. Coffee used to help but it hasnt been working for the past few months. He comes across a graveyard radio station at 2am and falls asleep early for the first time in forever after listening to the deep smooth voice. He starts listening to him, his voice lulling him to sleep everyday and he is thankful for that. Turns out the rj is none other than his best friend's roommate, taehyung. They start meeting slowly, at cafes in the afternoon, doing grocery shopping and laundry together, little moments that make them fall in love slowly, the other always being attentive and soft towards him. Taehyung kisses him gently one day confessing his love and jungkook is glad he found him, while kissing him back
