Friday Favorite : JJ Project - Bounce
For this week's Friday Favorite, we are going to be reviewing JJ Project's new debut song "Bounce". We just love these two from head to toe. Just look at this wacky duo and be amazed at what you've been missing out on.. Impossible not to shake it along with them. (commence extreme shaking)First off, let's start off by tackling the most discussed subject about this song. It starts up in a school where they're bored to death and look like they have had their souls sucked out of them...hold up *shows STOP sign*. There is something funky in the air. This video reminds us a whole load of Bang Yong Guk and Zelo right? There have been a lot of
We do agree that it does have a Bang Yong Guk and Zelo feel to the video however who says there can't be two rebellious schools running at the same time *shakes fists threateningly*. So both duos are rebellious and decide to relieve their feelings through songs.
Now, let us start with the important things. *points* Is that..is that...a jiggy jiggy....JYP we hear in the beginning? Heh~ not so out of normal for our God-like JYP who seems to do everything by himself. No, but seriously that jiggy jiggy dance will make you absolutely go:
It is impossible to submit to their extreme cuteness and to the whole beat of the song as well. *shudders* Just indescribable. If you haven't watched that yet
Hmm that's a very informative poster they have there *thousands of tissues stuck up our noses* |
The excitement just takes over....
Shake it *pants* shake....it!!!!!! I am shaking it for YOUUUUUUUUUU |
Slowly...slowly....I am an incognito cameraman..... |
They also have their back-up dancers who hold
That is literally the whole school + a few backup dancers. |
Where do we sign up?
The MV is a work of art really without looking at the small details. We mean, it has great English throughout (in all posters and lyrics). It's very colourful and the song actually makes you want to shake something....anything! Also the editing of the whole MV seems to be very different from other videos. It's like organised chaos where the video moves up and down and literally shakes without giving us a head migraine or making us dizzy.
The extras also actually look like they want to be in the MV. They must have been shattered by the end of the of the shoot, having shaken everything everywhere. They're all so entusiastic without being creepy which is sometimes hard to pull off *coughHeyYouextrascough*.
Job well done!
Overall the song has a great electronic heavy, hip-hop, dubstep, rock feel to it (making ourselves dizzy here). It seems that bands just want to appeal to all genres when really they don't. For instance we had EXO with their little genre mixup where they, out of nowhere, started to sing in heavy rock.~ We only judge them on their
The whole thing ends up with a little dance sequence made up by the duo (no BYG&Z reference). They have the dorkiest dance compared to how they do things at the beginning of the video. If you cannot love this,
We could give you the breakdown on the dance but we prefer that you watch it for yourself.
Let's just say~
So. Much. Sexy.
