At noon on November 1 (Vietnam time), girl group Baby Monster officially released the album "Drip" and the MV for the songs "Drip" on YouTube.
This is introduced as the group's first full-length album since their debut. The album consists of 9 songs, including 7 new songs: "Clik Clak", "Drip", "Love, Maybe", "Really Like You", "Billionaire", "Love In My Heart", "Woke Up In Tokyo", and the previously released song "Forever", as well as a remix of the song "Batter Up".
“Drip” attracted attention as soon as it was introduced, because it was composed by “Kpop king” G-Dragon. “Drip” is a dance song combined with vibrant electronic music, still following the strong hip-hop style of YG Entertainment.
Baby Monster's 3 rappers, Ruka, Asa, and Ahyeon, show off their smooth rapping skills. The other members also show off their good vocals.
In particular, the MV "Drip" was praised by many audiences as Baby Monster's best theme song MV since its release.
The MVs “Batter Up" and “Sheesh" were criticized for their outdated and rustic style. However, the visuals and staging of the MV “Drip" are very modern and suitable for Baby Monster's age.
On the online community theqoo, the initial reactions from the audience were quite positive.
They left comments: “The MV is very well shot, this is the best MV I've seen of Baby Monster so far”, “The song is quite good and the quality of the MV has improved a lot”, “The choreography is very catchy”, “I want to see the live performance”, “The old feeling is gone, the song, choreography and MV are all good”, “The MV is very suitable for their age”, “Asa's blue hair look is awesome”, “They should have made an MV like this a long time ago”, “YG finally came to their senses”…
Besides, there are also opinions that "Drip" is better than "Sheesh" and "Batter Up" but is not a truly explosive hit or satisfying enough.
After the first hour of release, "Drip" only entered two Korean music charts, Top 94 Bugs and Top 192 Genie. For a group from a major entertainment company, Baby Monster's debut performance this time still cannot break through.
But fans expect that, with positive reviews, Baby Monster will gradually rise in the rankings.
