It is no shock that "Deepened" is raking in the attention of fans for many reasons! First off, the whole member change was quite the surprise as new members Minyoung, Youjung, Eunji, Yuna, and Hayoon took the places of former members Eunyoung, Seo Ah, and Yejin. With a new line up came a new swag style as "Deepened" has a nice sentimental value to it that can leave the listener feeling unquenched for their "thirst for love." Get lost in the feels with the MV below!
The song starts off with a boss @$$ instrumental that no one was expecting! The beat carries a real slick sound as it drops into an alluringly slow tempo, accompanied by elongated piano notes and Brave Girls' words echoing alongside the hyped beat. The light taps of the drum, sudden flash of the snares, and odd twang of the guitar strumming make this song an easy track to get addicted to and even get down to on the dance floor! The instrumental is something I can easily see Western artists like Nicki Minaj, Beyonc� or even Drake incorporating into their sound, which shows Brave Sound knows how to craft a great instrumental dance track!
The MV is very entertaining to watch since their dance moves go beyond the generic routines! The deep, slow-motioned drop of their bodies in the opening fills viewers with anticipation as they wonder what is to come next. What is really likable is the fact that the sex appeal doesn't feel forced but more natural as they effortlessly transition into the sequence of dance moves with expertise! The dancing is admittedly a bit too upbeat and fast-paced for this song at times. Some dances can get away with being paired alongside slow instrumentals but "Deepened" demands something just a tad bit more mid-paced and gentle for certain parts.
Some may think it is a dance better suited for videos like 4Minute's "Crazy" but I guarantee if you mute the audio and play Janet Jackson's "When We Oooo," you wouldn't be disappointed. The only thing I have against this MV is the endless clasping into nothingness. What are you grabbing ladies? Hopefully a spot on the Top 10!
The song relays a nice message without being too cliche as the lyrics are easily relatable for anyone's "thirst for love." The girls know their love has become different as they echo "You've really changed too much" and "I deserve better," showing their agonizing longing of wanting to be loved the right way again and "going back to the beginning." The rap also has a sick flow to it and carries along the rising pace of the song in that intense moment. The addictive chorus and hypnotizing rap itself are enough to ease people into enjoying the song but, paired with their strong choreo, "Deepened" offers something much more rewarding,
Although the song doesn't necessarily have a 100% winning element to it, Brave Girls' return to K-Pop is definitely strong in comparison to other group's comebacks lately. "Deepened" may be strong enough to score them high on the charts as fused hip-hop tracks are quite the rage lately! Let's wish Brave Girls the best with their new track and expect more from them in the future, too!
