It’s been a protracted musical hiatus for dance diva Chungha, all over which her contract with MNH Leisure expired and she or he moved to Jay Park’s label Extra Imaginative and prescient. Eenie Meenie is the primary style of this new generation, and she or he’s introduced alongside a well-known face to kick issues off.
Eenie Meenie options ATEEZ’s Hongjoong, immediately elevating expectancies for a extra hip-hop knowledgeable taste. As predicted, the music eschews the propulsive dance pop of her previous for a sinewy groove and spoken phrase hook. Your impressions of the monitor is determined by how a lot sway this sound has over you. To me, it simply doesn’t seize what makes Chungha this sort of nice artist. She will be able to promote anything else, however the music’s limp hook gives no likelihood to harness her innate air of mystery. Mumbling “eenie, meenie, minie, moe” is infrequently an impressed selection.
Fortuitously, Eenie Meenie reveals an interesting groove to make stronger this lyrical nonsense. Its aggregate of resonant bass and strummed guitar make for a amusing, off-kilter combine and there’s some cool vocal results going down within the background towards the monitor’s finale. Hongjoong injects a fascinating glide all over his verse, but it surely doesn’t do a lot to carry the music. If truth be told, Eenie Meenie is at its most powerful when it breaks freed from its constraints to ship a layered, melodic pre-chorus.
