This track, which colors their November 2023 album “樂-STAR,” is a rock tune bursting with powerful appeal.
The pleasing cadence of the line endings makes you want to hum along, and the surge of momentum that kicks in at the chorus is exhilarating.
It’s got that signature Stray Kids addictiveness, too.

DolphinOH MY GIRL
OH MY GIRL is a six-member idol group formed in 2015.
Their music is rooted in orthodox K-pop, and they’ve gained popularity for their quintessential idol appeal.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Dolphin.
It has a slightly tropical house vibe, featuring a smooth, level vocal line without dramatic peaks.
The mixed-voice section right before the chorus can be a tricky spot, but since it doesn’t require belting, anyone should be able to sing it if they adjust to a suitable key.
