BABYMONSTER’s debut EP and title track “Sheesh” receive mixed reviews
BABYMONSTER, the much-anticipated new girl group from YG Entertainment, has finally made their debut with a seven-member lineup and a debut mini album titled “The Monster.” The album features the title track “Sheesh,” which marks the debut of Ahyeon, who had previously been absent due to health reasons.
However, despite the group’s high profile debut, the album and title track have received mixed reviews.
Some critics have praised the group’s talent and potential, while others have criticized the lack of originality and the attempt to recreate BLACKPINK’s success.
NME, a popular British music magazine, gave the album a score of 2 out of 5 stars, calling it “a hollow attempt to recreate BLACKPINK.”
The magazine criticized the album’s production, which it said was “formulaic” and “lacking in newness.” It also criticized the title track “Sheesh,” which it said was “forgettable” and “annoying.”
NME did, however, praise the track “Like That,” which was written by Charlie Puth. The magazine said that “Like That” is “a hidden gem that shows BABYMONSTER has the potential to be great.”
Overall, NME expressed disappointment with YG Entertainment’s strategy for BABYMONSTER. The magazine said that the group is “talented but lacks direction.”
Other critics have also expressed concern that BABYMONSTER is too similar to BLACKPINK. Some have even said that the group is a “copycat” of BLACKPINK.
These concerns are valid, as BABYMONSTER does share some similarities with BLACKPINK. Both groups have a strong focus on hip-hop and EDM, and both groups have four members.
However, it is important to remember that BABYMONSTER is a new group, and they are still developing their own sound and identity.
It is unfair to compare them to BLACKPINK, who have been around for several years and have had multiple hit songs.BABYMONSTER has the potential to be a great group, but they need to be given the time and space to develop their own identity.
YG Entertainment should focus on helping them develop their own music and style, rather than trying to make them a carbon copy of BLACKPINK.
Only time will tell what the future holds for BABYMONSTER, but they have the potential to be a major force in the K-pop industry.
