Musicians react & review ♡ BABYMONSTER - FOREVER

IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER. First time reacting to Babymonster on this channel, and honestly, we don't even know them that well off camera - heard two to three songs passingly, and thought it's cool. We know they're incredible singers, but otherwise, we do not know much! And now we're hooked. This track was not only better than the other ones we've heard so far from them, but also just a brain tickler of a song in general for all music lovers out there. And since we are very well aware of the typical YG structure, the twist was even bigger. Loved it, and we are ready for more! :) If you want to get access to more reaction videos, other extra contents, voting power, livestreams, and more, consider supporting us at http://patreon.com/handsomesausages !! :D Kpop producers and singer-songwriters react to BABYMONSTER's FOREVER (MV).

BABYMONSTER are definitely monsters in their field :D ! Until now I never listened to their song without saying "I'm going to put it on my playlist" afterwards. I was recently obsessed with their song "Like That" if you want to check it out! :)

I'm yet to click with Babymonster; they're all clearly hugely talented as individuals, but as per your thoughts about whether the song will stand up on a second listen, for me personally, I don't think all those different talents have been synthesized into a successful whole yet. This is compounded by the fact that (again, IMO) they're struggling to find a consistent aesthetic or identity that works for them, and I think a big part of why is because of the age spread - the members are currently 22, 18 (x2), 17, 16 and 15 (x2), which means you've got three who can carry a more elegant concept like this reasonably comfortably, one on the cusp, and three who feel wildly too young for it, like kids playing dress-up. It's like YG wants to promote them as young and playful (especially with the name) on the one hand, but also wants to slide right by the reality of them actually *being* young on the other, and so you end up with songs that are sort of... lyrically and conceptually shallow, I guess? Like they're trying to mesh the confidence and desirability of Blackpink with the younger, more bubbly innocence of NewJeans, but can't fully lean into either without it becoming nakedly contradictory, so instead of having a range that encompasses those two extremes, they're occupying a sort of amorphous middle ground, and for me, it doesn't really work.
