It’s been a couple of 12 months since I final wrote about lady group VVUP, although I understand I combined them up with the newly debuted VVS in my thoughts, assuming they had been one and the identical. That’s what your insistent acronyms do to us, Ok-pop! That’s additionally what forgettable music does, as I can’t bear in mind a single previous VVUP monitor regardless of coated every intimately. So, I assume we are able to think about Giddy Boy a recent begin of types.
The overwhelming majority of Giddy Boy merely reheats present lady group tropes which were run into the bottom, nevertheless it has a number of shiny factors. Verse two is underlined by an upbeat electro groove that ought to have change into the monitor’s foremost calling card. Then, throughout 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 word: wouldn’t it’s superior if a Ok-pop group coated 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 change into my new calling card). This refrain isn’t truly 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 decide one sonic ingredient and excel at it. As an alternative, it’s in fixed flux — and relatively than add curiosity this merely makes it really feel as if the rug is regularly being pulled underfoot.
