[Review] Big Bang - We Like 2 Party

After being trolled super hard by "Bang Bang Bang" I was hoping that "We Like 2 Party" would just be a chill follow-up, despite the potential otherwise from the title alone. The "Loser" to the "Bae Bae," if you will. And what do you know, I was (sort of) right.

"We Like 2 Party" has a relaxed feel from the get go. The rapping is extremely reserved, which isn't something you expect from the likes of G-Dragon. The vocals, on the other hand, pack a bit of energy on their own, with Taeyang and Daesung being the most powerful (as usual) while Seungri brings up the support vocals. The chorus is repetitive, but I think it'd be hard to make a chorus that wasn't for this type of song. Unlike the disaster that was "Bang Bang Bang," this song knows what it is and keeps the same style from start to finish. It's painfully obvious that songs with a singular theme or don't have insertions of other songs are the best ones. Or if they have a chorus that fits the song, too, heh.

The chill factor in "We Like 2 Party" is also represented mostly through the video. Big Bang is having a good time and having a good time filming. Hanging out, driving, go-karting, beach shenanigans, etc. Ah, Daesung, there are your eyes. Your facial expressions are more legendary when we can see more than half of your face. The last portion of the MV is just them drinking (or fake drinking) and still having a grand ol' time. Watching Big Bang let loose is just fun and gives you happy vibes, takes you away from all the bad news / struggles of Kpop.

In the end, "We Like 2 Party" is a relaxing song that manages to hit all the right notes. Between the clean singing, chill rapping, and crazy / silly music video, this might just be the best of the Big Bang releases thus far.
