The Kulture Study: ITZY “WANNABE” MV

[@yeahwafflesgo]

You got it brah, the instrumental breakdown reminds you of SexyBack because it has Timbaland's signature semiquavers cowbells on the last half of each beat. So one 4-beat bar would the following, if "commas" are the cowbell ..,,/..,,/..,,/..,,

By far their strongest song imo. It keeps the classic Itzy sound without repeating what they've done before. And the choreo is next level

@@mimiyaa11 you mean the choreo from dalla dalla? I think its unique instead of repetitive, it tells me like, "yes, this is itzy"

I actually wonder, how people only listening to generic songs lmao. Like, can you put your prejudices aside and just listen, how come I listen to icy and dalla dalla and like it from the first listen.

[@sanashy9024]

This is true!

[@paigeh5314]

I felt like the camerawork really elevated the choreo on the dance break. really liked the way the camera pulled back and then came back in as three of them did the bending backwards part of the choreo. and the camera movements on all of Ryujin's part tbh... top notch editing and camera work

[@zeezeezee3110]

LOUDERRR!! MY FAVORITE PART WHERE CAMERAWORK AND THE CHOREO BECAME INSYNC IS IN RYUJIN'S PART "OH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH" RAP PART

[@enhypengene4045]

[@bellatrala4892]

i am addicted to this song by now. itzy's music really tends to have that addictive quality i noticed. i think it's the fact that parts of their music can come off as hard to digest on the first listen, and kind of stays that way. what i think makes it so addictive is a main part of the music is indigestible so we audibly search for something that is and cling to it, which makes it grow on us. i don't know if that made any sense but in conclusion, itzy's music is addicting. and their mini album is amazing

It's funny now a couple years later to revisit this reaction. I recall you not liking the sound of dalla dalla (a Galactika song) but loving Wannabe. Perhaps Galaticka's dalla dalla sound was too early for you? Seems you have come around to liking their mixing of genres and various types of instrumental arrangements... Great reaction as always. Thank You. Spoiler: Galaticka also did LOCO.. And they are represented as Galactika because if they tried to use "Star Wars" as a producing name they would have been sued. :)
