One thing that pisses me off about Mamamoo is that they are the full package, they have great visuals, great singers, they can dance pretty well, they even compose/choreograph part of their material, but their songs seems to lack the "it" factor to just shoot them right up to the popularity they deserve tbh :/ I don't know how to say it. They're good songs- better than most of the stuff out there but they just miss something
T-ara has made vintage work really well so we know it's possible their concept is fitting and songs quality, but I just feel like they're all great for listening yet missing that one catchy bit that makes it a true hit. Actually when I think about the composition of their lead single they miss like the main thing to a pop song: a good build and then the climax. They always seem to lack a real strong build and then the chorus just isn't what the previous part made you expect. It just falls short and it suuuuuch a shame. Then again I'd rather see them do their thing than go full on basic sounding pop
I think they don't fit the "bigger" market They're not "commercial" enough so to speak but we'll see with this comeback, Solar said it would be very different.
But in a way I think they did good because even if they're not sucessful they caught the public eye They are well loved by the audience, professionals and other idols so their name is out there, now they need that one big hit and to avoid other big names. My only fear is that they're comeback will go unoticed because BB + Shinee + Exo
i dont think their fringe presence in the market has anything to do with fitting in or not. mamamoo is CLEARLY the whole package. my criticism goes to their musical production team----everything else about them is great. they dont need to be mainstream to have a fuller sound.
even if they go without notice because of more popular groups i still think their management has done a great job keeping them in the public eye without over-saturating which is pretty commendable, honestly. they have the public respect of their ability, i think their popularity might come out in the variety world before a title track. they would've been better off coming out with a comeback in january/february when all the other groups were asleep.
still---if they can drop a song that keeps them in the top 3 or 5 ppl will definitely notice even if they never win once.
