“Waitin’” by WEi

Incorporating catchy whistle riffs with the rhythmic trap beat, WEi is able to create a seductive track with “Waitin’” from the group’s latest album IDENTITY : Action.

“Pool Party” by Brave Girls ft. E-CHAN (DKB)

While “치맛바람 (Chi Mat Ba Ram)” was a wonderful follow-up to Brave Girls’s viral hit “Rollin’,” the group’s B-side “Pool Party” is a perfect follow-up to the hidden gem from 2020, “We Ride.” Incorporating disco pop and city pop sounds, “Pool Party” quickly became a fan-favorite, even receiving a proper music video. The track also features an impeccable verse delivered by junior labelmate E-CHAN of DKB. Check out our review on Brave Girls’s return here.
