Many people didn't like their music at first, since its very different from the usual sound and predictability kpop song. They were extremely hated for a long time. I got to know them later when my gf had me accompany her to Hyde Park last year, their singing and dancing skill is something else, strong movement is contrary to singing and if you don't sing it's hard to understand how amazing is to perform like they do. I'd recommend to watch their stage practices where they sing and dance (like the dance practice you reacted to but live). Glad to see them doing great, they have real passion for music which you don't see much in kpop anymore. Other awesome groups are Dreamcatcher or G-idle.
Next thing you should check out is their Studio Choom for ‘Tank’ performance. Along with that, check out their Debut Trailer since they use the music from Tank for it. Actually, watch the Debut Trailer first and then their studio choom performance because I think that will be more impactful. There is no official MV for it if you were wondering. (Tank is the other song along with O.O on their debut EP entitled Ad Mare)
'O.O' or shock emoji, received quite a bit of hate when it was released and was even dubbed the worst K-pop debut song. 'O.O' was literally two songs combined into one. People thought the mix-up in the superhero part was too jarring (not me though), so they kind of hated it. The lyrics literally mean this song is just an introduction to their group and genre, "mixx pop," as in an epilogue to a movie or story to show off what they can do and their potential. It's not even the beginning of the story yet. The crazy thing is that JYP knew beforehand that they would generate hate with this song, so in their next song, "Tank," their lyrics were like mocking the people who hated their song. It was a brilliant strategy by JYP to garner people's attention, whether it was positive or negative. I suggest you watch their new versions of 'O.O,' as it was split into two songs: 'O.O New Version' and 'O.O Superhero Version.' I don't know how they can make this song better, but they did it.
Thank you for your reaction to NMIXX's debut song, "O.O"! :) I really enjoyed that song, right from the start when I first heard it! Up to that point, I was only a fan of TWICE and I was looking forward to get to know NMIXX more and to see how they would differentiate themselves from other JYP groups. And they did not disappoint! I was hooked on their "mixxpop" concept and I totally got how they wanted to show off they they were able to do cool songs, as well as pop songs. Now to answer some of your questions: "Baila" is a Spanish word. You asked what it meant, and it's basically the word for "Dance" if you translate it to English. Also, a good NMIXX lore guide I can recommend you is choujimi's "Beginnier's Guide to NMIXX's Lore" (th-cam.com/video/6SD97dQoT9o/w-d-xo.html). Of course, chronologically speaking when they debuted with "O.O", we didn't know anything about their lore (or, very little). That guide is from a few months ago so it touches on lore elements that were added up until now. Still, it's a good one, and doesn't spoil their music! The next song from NMIXX for you to listen to, if you want to go strictly in order, would be "TANK", the b-side on the "AD MARE" Single Album. Since it doesn't have a music video, you could watch the "Debut Trailer" video (which used part of the instrumental track of "TANK") or, what most reactors do is to watch their performance of it on "Studio Choom". They also have a Dance Practice, as well as several music shows performances and concert performance of it, if you really want to look for these :) Alternatively to "TANK", if you want to skip over b-sides, is their next title track "DICE", from the "ENTWURF" Single Album (released 6 months after "AD MARE")! Anyway, have a great day!!
Interesting! I was quite the opposite. I was drawn in by Lily's solo performance, All I Want for Christmas Is You. I could not believe how amazing her vocals were then I explored more about Lily's solo performances on Begin Again and Leemujin Service , and sunk deeper and deeper into Lily's wonderful vocals. Then I came across Lily and Haewon duet, Survivor, and got curious about Haewon. The process then repeated but this time was for Haewon. Oddly enough, some of Haewon's solo performances made me tear up. Her breathy technique when singing is phenomenal. She sings like she's telling an emotional story. Gradually, my curiosity grew into the group and the members. It took me a few weeks to get to know each member and their quirkiness.
I hope the quality of the video didn't drop! I had to lower it to make enough space on my PC. 😭 Anyways What was your guys first reaction to O.O?
NMIXX best of the best ❤
