I don’t know what’s taking place over in YOUNITE world, however the promotion for Bomba is regarding. The tune was launched over per week in the past to no fanfare and solely now has a (efficiency) video. The group has but to market it on music exhibits. None of those developments bode effectively for the company’s confidence in YOUNITE. As a longtime Ok-pop fan, I’ve been down this highway many instances earlier than and I see warning indicators popping up throughout.
This might simply be an overreaction, and I hope so as a result of YOUNITE have some first rate hip-hop of their discography. I nonetheless maintain final yr’s foolish Geekin in excessive regard. Sadly, Bomba gained’t be becoming a member of it on my playlist. The enjoyable appears to have leaked out of this tune, changed by the perfunctory boy group bluster that mars so many tracks of this type. The rap is commonly shouted (and even worse, smothered in vocal results) till it feels extra like the blokes are yelling at you. I don’t like to be yelled at (who does?) and it actually impacts my enjoyment of a monitor.
Bomba additionally struggles to discover a hook value revisiting. Its refrain goes from mumbling to errant fragments of melody. Neither excessive works effectively, and Bomba additional devolves as we veer into some messy breakdowns late within the monitor. General, the tune merely embraces the identical brash vitality all through. This rapidly develop monotonous and — at worst — exhausting.
