[Review] OH MY GIRL – Dear OHMYGIRL

The girl group OH MY GIRL is back with their new mini-album ‘Dear OHMYGIRL’. We’re still listening to ‘Nonstop’ and ‘Dolphin’ from their previous album, so we’re stoked to have new music to vibe to.

In the album description they wrote that there’s six songs on the album for the six years that the seven members have spent together since debut. 

Dear OHMYGIRL

We start off with the title track ‘Dun Dun Dance’. This track gives us some of that retro feel with the combination of disco and pop elegantly mixed together. I am in love with the colours and the aesthetics of the music video. The girls all look stunning.

‘Dear You’ follows that with a rather minimalist pop vibe. This track feels quite delicate in the verses because of the soft vocals. The chorus brings a bit more body to the full track with the bass they added. This is a really cool track actually. 

Dream pop comes next in ‘My Doll’. I enjoyed the intro part with delicate vocals again. I absolutely loved the effect on their voices. This feels a lot like experimental OH MY GIRL and I like it! It reminds me a little of early 2000s pop for some reason, a little Imogen Heap in 2005 but funkier. Ugh this is a vibe. 

Mimi has writing credits on ‘Quest’. This one carries a lot of influences from video games and has a lot of synths. I wish it had a bit more ‘oompf’ to it in the instrumentation, but it’s a cute song. I did enjoy the harmonies in the bridge though.

‘Who comes who knows’ follows that with some groovy bass guitar. The vocals went off in this one, hell yes to the ad-libs. The layering was awesome to hear. 

We close off the mini-album with ‘Swan’. It’s the shortest song on the album, being just over two and a half minutes. The rock influences are awesome though. I need more of pop-rock OH MY GIRL. I think that’d be awesome.
