Fans of South Korea’s 1MILLION Dance Studio know that athleisure garb is a definite staple for dancers and it’s no surprise why Brave Girls channeled that sense of sleek street-dancing with not just their attire, but their phenomenal choreography as well. Shot in an urban-like landscape, the girls have traded in their blazers and ties from “Nowadays” for a more comfortable and athletic style for “Deepened.” From trainers to yoga pants, the girls have somehow hopped on to the athleisure bandwagon which has been evident in South Koreans street fashion for some time now. As mentioned, the music video is minimalist as it does away with the usual K-pop aesthetics of being over-the-top and extravagant. However, with the music video, audiences are given a much more appealing sight as opposed to the forlorn message of the song. The song and delivery of the lyrics definitely shed light on the notion of immature love that easily changes over time. You make me lonely, you don’t listen to me ![]() It’s not like before, I’m getting more uncomfortable ![]() The difference in temperature, like cooled coffee I can feel it too, we’ve changed from before ![]() Although the vocals-heavy verse was good, this second one definitely reflected what the song was about and that is of the painful and tragic realization that a relationship is heading a rocky path as issues arise over time. While the first verse focused heavily on the members’ respective vocals, the second verse brought back the song’s edgier vibe from the intro with a fierce rap verse courtesy of Hyeran. As the first verse closes, the transition to the refrain is smooth and clean and sets up the listeners to a more upbeat chorus that becomes catchy as Eunji sweeps in with the “neon neomu byeonhaesseo” line which she sang during the intro of the song. The minimal yet catchy sound of “Deepened” helps amplify the members’ distinct vocals especially during the first verse as most of the girls sang at least a line or two and showcased what they had with just the second that was granted to each of them. The similarities end once the first verse hits you as the song introduces a more prominent piano line that adds a flair of ballad-like drama to the otherwise R&B track. Upon listening to the opening of the song, one might more or less instantly associate it with Beyonce’s “ Drunk in Love” as it bares some similarities with the beat and rhythm of the chorus of Beyonce’s 2013 hit. Finally, after ditching their well-pressed suits from “Nowadays,” the girls are back with a smooth R&B track for “Deepened.” This time, Brave Girls have gone under a total reboot after switching up their original lineup of members and opting for a cooler vibe with their song. The last time Brave Girls graced the K-pop spotlight was more or less well over three years ago and it was when they promoted their 2012 track “Nowadays.” With other K-pop acts keeping the hands of their producers, the iconic Brave Brothers, busy, it felt like Brave Girls were in it for a long and almost hopeless hiatus. ![]()
