Umu: alright, so this is a new girl group that we haven't reacted to yet
Gwen: i love girl groups! *0* Hugo: yay~
Umu:...yes, they're Oh My Girl, they're- I actually have them- Gwen: [singing] Oh my girl, oh my girl you got [laughs]
Hugo: [singing] looks like hells gonna win the prize Gwen: wow thanks for not being in the same key as me
Hugo: hey your key was too high, okay?
Gwen: yeah---
[classical music playing]
Jarod: [displaying his skills]
(kudos to anyone who can name the symphony this trumpet part is from -umu)
Jarod: [demonic voice] PUM PUm [vocal fry]
Yunyi: oh my girl, i cry and cry-- Big Bang fans are gonna get that reference
Umu: we will be reacting to some of their older music later but this came out-- this is their most recent song Hugo: ooh
they're just some aspects which of the song that i'm just like, oh my god yes, YEs give it to me
Gwen: did you mean Oh My Girl?
Hugo: okay we're done on that one, (nct) 1..2..7
Davis: ...one...
Yunyi: ooh di---did that go mixolydian?
Jarod: these little brass bits are pretty nice
Kevin: no, there is too much mixture to tell
Jarod: [singing] pum
Emiel: ooh this remind me of 'Single Ladies'
Henry and Fiona: yeah [laughs]
Kevin:... i'm just waiting for the colours to completely burst in because right now its all white...you know...
Naoki: ooh no it's because its they're a colouring book!
Jarod: like the music coming in and out over the rhythm...like adds the playfulness, which is really cool
Lindsey: [snapping]
Davis: yeah i feel like i'm listening to a Kpop-- uh or a Kidz Bop cover of a Kpop song
Lindsey: yeah but the beat has like the 3 plus 2 clave like--
Yunyi: ooh is it in the colour in the eggs?
Naoki: i'm liking this
Shimon: is it gonna crack and is it gonna be white?
Yunyi: [clapped] called it!
The Trio: OOh! ben: oh snap
Ben: colour breaks
Lindsey: now its got like 2 plus 3 plus clave but at the beginning it was 3 plus 2
Lindsey: [claps]
Hugo: nice chromaticism
Jarod: and accompanying the mess--messiness of the visuals, i can kinda hear a little bit of the cacophony in the sound, like everything is kinda going out at this point
Lindsey: see this [clicks]
Fiona: its like saying its good to not be perfect [clicks tongue] that's the message
Davis: ooh i see... okay this is cool, i like this
Hugo: ooh yeah that was so cool
Ben: [lalalala] they're triplets, that was pretty sick
Jarod: this is just a very fun song peyton: yeah
Gwen: they're like "oh shit we're floating in the sky"
Hugo: this pre-chorus is-- Gwen: woah! yeah i love the pre-chorus
Henry: WTF she just jumped to her death!
Fiona: i love this concept of going from like everything is boring and like uniform and now they're like "oh fun"
Emiel: yeah there is a lot of colour-- Fiona: differentiation
Henry: wOAh
Fiona: wow.. Oh My Girl [with sass]
Ben: melismas
Naoki: they're just switching between [demonstrates] like i can feel it on the piano... it was like[ demonstrates] like a tone above
Kevin: cuz-- yeah okay
Yunyi: oh that is so quirky
Kevin: pom pom ray pom pom
Jarod: they really like that.. like having the music and then cut it out...and then--
Yunyi: (this) music is just feel good
Gwen: i think that this is a really good- Kevin: E major Gwen: ...cute song
Yunyi: yeah they set up a dominant then go somewhere else don't they?
Fiona: i love this chorus Emiel: just stay in the house.. why did they go outside?
emiel: it's so trippy
Kevin: flat 6 flat 7 1
Naoki: oh they went up again
Ben: yeah their chord progression is really good too 'cause it uses uh...A borrowed something
Emiel: did you see that whale out the window because i saw a f*cking dolphin Henry: [casually dying]
Fiona: are you oka-- Henry: what no there is actually a dolphin
[everyone loses their mind]
Emiel: its like a pink dolphin
henry: oh man
Fiona : i was like what are you on?
Gwen: its gonna be rainbow in the inside Hugo: ooh i bet you money that it is
Hugo: i love the dolphin in the background too Gwen: yeah i think the dolphin is our favourite
Both: ayy~ oh its a rainbow we guessed it
Jarod: that was fun, it was really cool in the beginning how like there was little hits.. little brass hits it was like [demonstrates]
Peyton: [hey] yeah it was very like... young like very like youthful energy type feel..
i mean there was nothing like... i don't know, i wouldn't say that its shallow because that is not necessarily the right like, i don't know... terminology for that but i think that's what they were going for..?
Umu: yeah, definitely like poppy..happy with like some great brass
yeah the reason why i have you guys reacting to this is because i was just so in love with the saxophone and the brass and like, some of the vocal lines... i was just like yeASSS
Both: [imitating] oh my god~
Peyton: i would like it more if i was younger.. but yeah it was a good little thing though like i mean it would be something that i would take my daughter to, though i don't have kids
Jarod:... i have ten Peyton: boy!
Davis: there was a lot of pop, you know it was kinda like opening up a jar of pickles, there's a pop and there was a lot of pop here
Davis: but anyways-- but specifically about the music, yeah, yo--
we are talking about the i don't know, i guess we will have to wait for what Kevin and Yunyi will say about it because they will be right as usual and i will just be like "you know maybe i should have thought about that differently"
but yeah i think they uh-- i don't know it was just really pop-y and their voices too, i think i'm just gonna stick to my comparison, it's like a Kidz Bop cover of a Kpop song- Lindsey: yeah but like, i like it though--
Davis: but yeah-- Lindsey: i didn't-- i mean definitely not my favourite but like, i liked it, it was easy--
Davis: yeah it was pretty in the middle of the road for me
Kevin: the first time you hear 6 7 and 1, you're like woahh but then you kinda get used to it Umu: uh huh yeah then then the [demonstrates]
Umu : are those modulations or it is just planing or wtf is happening?
Yunyi: oh they were just planing, they're just moving directly form chord to chord Kevin: yeah
Yunyi: it's a modulation when they stay in key but they don't stay in the key
as i like to think of it planing or like going from chord to chord like... that's like a fling and a modulation is like a relationship
Kevin: [sneezes] Yunyi and Umu: [dying]
Shimon: wait, planing?
Umu: did you watch- Ben: do you know when Debussy does like the same-- Naoki:...thing but up or something isn't it?
Ben: well basically he just uses the same structure but he just shifts it to a different key Shimon: ooh okay
Ben: he'll have like octave with the fourth or the fifth or something and keeps doing it, keeps going up and down regardless of key
The Trio: [playing piano]
Ben: i don't know what the last part is but the first-- the beginning part was like planing
Ben: i think-- wait wasn't that the major 6
Naoki: i think you have the best ear here
Umu: so they just like use the next chord in the chord progression? Shimon: no it went down to minor third
Ben: i think... 'cause it's in D right but then they borrowed something from A right?
right? cuz it's in D. oh and then-
but they use a G sharp which borrows it from the key.. yeah
Fiona: i liked it, it was cutesy and i don't know, it was nice Emiel: it was good Henry: [laughs] stop it
Fiona: it wasn't like very deep but it's okay, it's fun Umu: yeah it was just like, you're putting sprinkles on the cake Fiona: yeah it was very sprinkly and i like sprinkles
Emiel: i thought the groove was cool and like...i was just like, not a fan of the voice but yeah it was a good groove, it was just pretty good
Gwen: the pre-chorus was lit Hugo: the pre-chorus was the best part of that, that was like aah
Gwen: the vocals were fine Hugo: vocals were good, i like their- the vocal line- [demonstrates] like that was a really cool.. kind of line
i would have liked if they go somewhere minor with it which would probably not mix well with the rest of the song Umu: ooh that would be really cool Hugo: but it would be really cool
Gwen: musically, that would have been awesome Hugo: yeah if they go with minor 3 or something
Gwen: but i love the video, it was adorable, it was just kinda like, i was like they're just there chilling like--
i kinda got the vibe that none of them knew what they were doing and they were having a sleep over and they're like "let's make brownies"
and then they were like struggling for like the first 20 seconds of the video where they were just f*cking around in the kitchen, that was floating in the sky
but anyway, yeah i liked it
