But even here, it feels like the track is building to one last chorus. Things don’t catch fire again until the extended, wordless hook that takes us to the finish line. Senorita’s second verse collapses into a forgettable (and all-too garbled) rap break that does little to keep the song’s momentum. The melody never really goes anywhere, and the post-chorus male vocal sounds more like a catcall than the self-empowered refrain it could have been. I’m less enthused about Senorita‘s chorus, which is too throwaway for its own good. It’s just not built upon in the way I would have wished. As other musical elements join the fray, the song moves closer to current trends and begins to lose some of its unique spark. It’s rare to hear a K-pop track tackle tango, but Senorita’s opening verse bounds along this uncommon time signature. If we were talking only about the song’s first thirty seconds, I’d likely be more enthused. New single Senorita is solid, but feels like the least exciting title track the group has released. I only hope that the quality of their music keeps up the pace. I expect her star power to grow even larger in 2019, and that will undoubtedly keep (G)I-DLE in the news. She featured in a special SM Entertainment project group last September and co-composed last month’s memorable No for fellow Cube Entertainment act CLC. It’s been over six months since we’ve heard from (G)I-DLE as a group, but leader Soyeon has been a constant presence in K-pop since then.
