Performances are always fun to watch, but dances like “Chi Mat Ba Ram” make me feel like I can actually follow along and be part of the experience. While I’m really proud of how girl group choreographies have evolved to be as complex and detailed as ones for boy groups, there’s something just so classic about a dance built around key points. Similarly, I like how the choreography is also reminiscent of 2nd and early 3rd generation girl group dances: relatively simple but extra entertaining, with a heavy emphasis on highlight moves that fans can remember and easily learn. I’m loving the nostalgia and how it brings me back to a different time. “Chi Mat Ba Ram” is a return to that brassy and sassy sound that helped define early to mid-2010s girl group K-pop, and I’m so here for it. Those high-energy party songs were still in style when I first got into K-pop five years ago, but they eventually faded out and gave way to cute concepts and then girl crush. It’s worth noting that Brave Brothers, the producer behind Brave Girls and founder of their agency, has created a lot of hit songs for several famous 2nd and early 3rd generation girl groups like 4Minute, T-ARA, SISTAR, AOA etc. But since “Chi Mat Ba Ram” is clearly meant to be a dance jam, it’s not too big a deal. I do personally feel that the arrangement can be *slightly* noisy in places, and there are times where it seems like the members have to work hard to be heard over the thudding percussion. It’s so addictive I can already envision hearing it everywhere I go for the next couple of months.

“Chi Mat Ba Ram” is a classic summer bop that leans heavily on catchy choruses, club-worthy beats, and fun times. In the intro of Brave Girls’ new title track, Minyoung declares that “We’re going to be summer queens.” ( Summer Queen is also the title of their mini-album.) It’s a confident statement, but also one that will probably turn out to be true.

You know what it is B.(Note: I Google Translated the title and got “skirt wind.” I have no idea what this means… maybe it’s a specific expression in Korean?)
