Twice continues on their roll of success with "TT", which is their best effort yet.
I've always liked Twice, "Like Ohh Ahh" was a good debut that I still replay now and "Churro" is still as addictive as it was when I first listened to it. However "TT" takes their formula and improves upon it tremendously.
Speaking of tremendous things...
"TT" is similar to "Like Ohh Ahh" and "Churro" in the sense that it has the members switch between lines quickly that creates diversity in the verses, however instead of it coming off jarring the members are able to mix together more smoothly and that's all thanks to "TT"'s awesome instrumental. It takes the current house trend with a thumping beat but instead of adding more Western elements to it like SM or YG it inserts more K-pop elements with the usage of synthesizer and having a chorus that speeds things along instead of slowing them down. (No shade to SM, I actually like most of their house stuff.) Another thing that works to "TT"'s advantage is that there is no rapping. Dahyun and Chaeyoung are instead given singing lines and their raps aren't just inserted into the song, thus making the song flow much easier. The overall product is a song that's had me replaying it since it came out (as of writing this it's been six hours since the song came out.)
Elsa who???
The music video is another home run for Twice. What I've always liked about Twice's videos is that they show off their awesome visuals while still being entertaining to people in a general sense. Their music videos are like concepts within a concept. With "Like Ohh Ahh" it was various characters in a zombie apocalyptic horror film. In "Churro" it was various characters from different movies/TV shows. This time it's following a Halloween costume concept within a haunted house theme. All the members look stunning here, but my favorites in terms of glamour have to be Jihyo (who's ridiculously sexy) and Tzuyu (can't tell if she's supposed to be Morticia Addams or just a vampire but either way she looks amazing.) Also, Dahyun because her parts in the music video are fucking hilarious, and Nayeon because Nayeon as the devil came out very adorable.
Fun fact - I was a pirate for Halloween last year, so of course Mina gets a shout out due to pure representation and also because she really rocks the costume.
Keep on representin'
I only have two complaints about the MV, one is that Sana's costume could have been waaaayyy better. I mean come on, she's freaking Catwoman! They could have given her an AOA throwaway outfit from their "Like a Cat" promotions and it would have looked better than the clunky leather they put her in. Second, I don't really see the point of the kids? I mean they're cute and all but they don't really add anything to the video.
In the end this was a great comeback for Twice, and this should solidify there spot as the current generations no.1 girl group. JYP's probably doing the running man all the way to the bank as we speak.
Get it Dahyun.
