BLACKPINK - Boombayah
BLACKPINK - Boombayah
Welcome back to K-Pop Time Traveler! I'm sorry, I didn't mean for the last post to be a bash fest on BLACKPINK. I especially didn't mean to tarnish the group's 5th anniversary of their debut, which is a huge achievement in and of itself. And "Boombayah" is one of the first earworm title tracks along with "As If It's Your Last" from BLACKPINK that got me hooked into K-Pop Girl Groups. One thing I'll credit YG and Teddy Park with is that from BIGBANG to 2NE1 to BLACKPINK, they sound very Western with their variations of genre and influence (Teddy Park is from the US). So for people who are not familiar with K-Pop sounds and culture, YG groups are a great introduction to it.
And BTS and BLACKPINK (the most well known K-Pop groups) was my introduction to the world of K-Pop, so I'll be forever grateful to them for that.
So happy 5th anniversary to "Boombayah". Please enjoy the subbed video and follow us on IG and TikTok and subscribe to the blog and YouTube channel.
From wiki:
"Boombayah" (Korean: 붐바야; RR: Bumbaya) is a song by South Korean girl group Blackpink. It was released coupled with "Whistle" in the group's digital debut single album titled Square One, on August 8, 2016 by YG Entertainment. "Boombayah" peaked at number 7 in South Korea and topped the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart in the first week of sales. On October 13, 2020, "Boombayah" became the first K-pop debut music video to surpass 1 billion views on YouTube.
Jeff Benjamin of Billboard K-Town said that Blackpink "embraces the hip-hop sensibilities and club-ready sounds with which their seniors gained an international following", referring to their labelmates Psy, Big Bang and 2NE1, with the song's "booming" and "exotic beats".
