Ever since I found out 2Yoon's debut song, "24/7," was going to be country pop-themed, I've been quite excited for its release. And a little frightened of the outcome.
Once the banjo-laden teaser came out, I basically started foaming at the mouth. I loved it.
That being said, in full, "24/7" disappointed me slightly. The teaser was so addictive and country, and the full song diverged from that more than I'd hoped.
Dammit, why couldn't it all just be banjo?
To answer the question some people asked about which poppy American country singer it sounded like, I'd say none of the mainstream females. It sounded more like bluegrass meets kpop.
Despite my mild disappointment, the song and the video are light and fun and work well together, even if the video takes place on a pretty claustrophobic set.
"24/7" is addictive but misguided at times. The video in particular sometimes strays from the country theme.

What do country people wear? Not this shit. That's what.
Then, the producers had to pull this fast one on us: Jiyoon, who I expected to rap, just sings, and Gayoon, who I thought would just sing, pulls out some weird hybrid rap/country thing.
Gotcha, suckers!
Confusing singsong rap aside, this was a good song for Gayoon. She actually even stopped making her bitch face long enough to smile throughout the video. Take Gayoon outta the city, put a few drinks in her, and apparently she's pretty fun.

BOTTOM LINE: Gayoon should let loose more often, and 2Yoon should keep at this country pop thing.
