Another month, another Universe release.
This time it’s VIVIZ, and I thought I’d revisit my carnival challenge last seen in the review of Oh My Girl’s Shark. After all, I like VIVIZ and I like Oh My Girl. They deserve the extra effort, even if Universe deserves nothing at all.
So… step right up and click on a drum! Most will include a K-pop “rum pum pum” from years past. There might even be a few “rub-a-dums” hidden in there somewhere! Find the right drum and you’ll find my brief but profound thoughts on this latest Universe release.

(y’all are going to have to let me know if these audio links actually work for you. I’m not 100% sure I set the sharing permissions correctly 😅)

not for me?? It says that no preview of the audio is allowed so the effect is sort’ve lost at the moment, But the effort is appreciated for sure!

Not great but better than loveade for sure.

LOVEADE is a summer bop for me. So addictive. This one? So bland.

For a few moments this morning, I was pondering if Viviz would break the sucky Universe app streak, as they have had quite the run of goodies this year.
They have not.
The clicky clicks did not work for me. Worse, my antivirus software put red warnings all over the link. Perhaps it is emblematic of the Universe app universe.

The intro sounds exactly like the Wow Thing collab song in which Sinb participated lmao

I went through basically all of them (torture (but that’s the point)) and the fact that “kill this love” was here and not “beautiful beautiful” had me looking at you sideways Nick lol

As a dedicated Na.V, you’d think they would SNARE me easily and I’d join the CONGA line like some mindless TOM, Dick, and Harry, but if I BASS my thoughts on just the song, itself, it’s GONG before its had time to settle in.
P.S. * rimshot / cymbal crash *

I don’t mind this. This is actually pretty decent. It sounds more like a good b-side rather than a Title Track but still good nonetheless. Maybe it’s because of the atrocious releases I’ve been hearing the past few days.

It’s actually painful how such a beautiful and intricate music video with gorgeous sets and outfits was wasted on this song. Couldn’t they get some berets and stools and sing in a coffeeshop?

yeah the video (a little questionable, but I’m not gonna get offended for anyone) definitely gives the impression of “this is a banger” which this rum pum pum is not

Decent song, surprisingly good for a universe release.

Not entirely sure about the some of the sets and outfits used in the music video, probably the song I’ve enjoyed most out of the Universe releases, Viviz can definitely do better though and that’s pretty much all I have to say on it! I can barely remember what it sounds like beyond one line in the chorus now which shows how much I’ve listened to it since.
