Song Review: OH MY GIRL Make A Comeback With "Dun Dun Dance" And KEEMBO Release New Single "WHATEVER"

by

OH MY GIRL (오마이걸) - Dun Dun Dance 

Review 

"Dun Dun Dance" is a city pop track that features strong vocals and unique sound. The song's vibrant and upbeat energy is highly infectious and capable of lifting your spirits even when you're down or tired. The rap-sections are once again the weakest links, doing more harm to the cohesion of the track without actually adding anything. Ultimately, "Dun Dun Dance" is a happy and restorative song that fits well with other songs in Oh My Girl's discography. While it might not be as captivating as their earlier hits, "Dun Dun Dance" is still a fun song that will definitely get listeners moving to the beat.

KEEMBO (킴보) - WHATEVER 

Review 

"WHATEVER" is a retro-inspired pop track that showcases the pair's impressive vocals over a lively brass and drum-driven instrumental. The verses feature breathy, atmospheric vocals before launching into a powerful chorus where Boa and Bohyung's voices soar. Lyrically, "WHATEVER" expresses a carefree attitude toward a relationship's ups and downs. "Whatever, we will be okay," KEEMBO sings in English during the hook. The music video matches the song's cheerful vibe, depicting the duo singing to colorful paintings that sing back to them.

While a solid showcase of KEEMBO's vocal prowess, the song doesn't quite reach the heights of the legendary singles crafted by Sweetune for other groups. Overall, "WHATEVER" is a lighthearted, retro-flavored song that allows KEEMBO to flex their impressive pipes. But it leaves you wanting just a bit more of the composing duo's signature sound and style. The single provides an enjoyable listen without being particularly groundbreaking for the talented vocal duo.

Release Info & Mini Bio 

KEEMBO (the vocal duo consisting of former SPICA members Kim Boa and Kim Bohyung) released their fourth digital single "WHATEVER" on May 10, 2021. This single is the follow-up to their first full-length album "Scandal" which was released on February 23, 2021.
