It’s been a few 12 months since I final wrote about lady group VVUP, although I notice I blended 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, Okay-pop! That’s additionally what forgettable music does, as I can’t keep in mind a single previous VVUP observe regardless of lined every intimately. So, I assume we are able to contemplate Giddy Boy a contemporary begin of types.
The overwhelming majority of Giddy Boy merely reheats present lady group tropes which were run into the bottom, however it has a couple of vibrant factors. Verse two is underlined by an upbeat electro groove that ought to have grow to be the observe’s most important calling card. Then, in the course of the pre-choruses we’re greeted by a ceremonial synth loop that jogs my memory of 2 Limitless’s tacky 90’s dance anthems. Facet notice: wouldn’t or not it’s superior if a Okay-pop group lined 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 music would simply choose one sonic factor and excel at it. As an alternative, it’s in fixed flux — and reasonably than add curiosity this merely makes it really feel as if the rug is regularly being pulled underfoot.
