Girl group MAMAMOO has swept the music charts with their new song "New York".
MAMAMOO released their pre-single "New York" through various music sites at midnight on the 21st.
After that, they proved their music power by taking the top spot on various music sites.
"New York" topped six major music sites in the morning, including Mnet, Bugs, Soribada, Olleh Music, Genie, and Naver, and also swept the music charts, taking third place on Monkey 3 and fifth place on Melon.
The new song "New York" is a pre-single released ahead of their comeback in October, and shows the group's special confidence in the new album.
MAMAMOO is laying the groundwork for their comeback in October, releasing a unit album and a pre-single, starting with their solo concert in August.
"New York" is a song that takes into account the 13-hour time difference between Korea and New York, and is an interesting song about how midnight in Korea is broad daylight in New York.
The funky and minimalist instrumental composition of the track harmonizes with MAMAMOO's unique atmosphere to create a sophisticated song.
MAMAMOO's new song "New York" can be heard on various music sites.
(From K-POP News)
Watch MAMAMOO's new music video "New York".
The sarcastic feel is a bit of a concern, but their singing voice and stage presence are suitable for any performance.
Honestly, this is a girl group that gives the impression that each member has limitless skills, enough to pursue a solo career.
While admiring their stylish singing ability and engrossed in the video, I can't help but think that they really don't need to be idol-like.
It's not that they don't have an aura, but rather that you don't feel any idol-like qualities in their performance. Just like their song, their stance towards music is completely straightforward.
For example, a handsome guy appears in the MV.
Then, the girls, who are drinking at a food stall, are all captivated by him (I wish at least one of them would look away). In other words, they become smitten.
But their characteristic is that they can perform stylish songs from such a trendy position.
For example, if it were Girls' Generation, they wouldn't mind all of them being captivated by a handsome guy.
They have become the big Girls' Generation they are today by making idol-idol music while acting like normal girls.
Even if they sing about being crazy about a handsome guy, it's not stylish music, and the calculations are well made so that viewers who are engrossed in the video can enjoy the visuals and stage performance of their favorite members.
They have become big idol stars that ordinary girls and boys cannot approach, but their stance will not change in the future.
The members' performances never deviate from that attitude.
It is clear that they have the will and effort to be idols.
MAMAMOO can be comic relief when they are doing solo activities such as variety shows.
It's fine for them to look like ordinary older women.
Each member can enjoy their own stance as they like.
However, when they become a team, I hope they will take to the stage as somewhat strong-willed, beautiful women.
They have the stage skills to match.
Aspiring to be an idol and aiming to be a star may seem completely different, but they are actually the same.
BLACK PINK's coolness on stage is that of brand new idols, but there is little discrepancy between their overall stage impression and their skills.
It seems as if their idol and star qualities have meshed well together and they have started to run.
With this style, they may grow into star idols who lead the K-pop girl world in the near future.
I think that MAMAMOO's star quality and idol quality actually go hand in hand.
That said, in MAMAMOO's case, rather than a good balance between the two like BLACKPINK, I feel that their star quality and idol quality coexist in a mixture of their outstanding singing ability, which can be both hard and soft, and their extremely mediocre looks.
This wouldn't work for girls with outstanding singing ability and outstanding looks.
In that case, they should be called genius girls who have it all, and such girls would never exist in the world in the first place.
MAMAMOO (the older girls) have very ordinary looks and faces, but once they step on stage, they put on an amazing performance.
Unexpected stages are the real joy of music. .
I think it was there that MAMAMOO made their big break with "Areyo Areyo" and gained huge support from female fans.
