I am trying to find some new artists to listen to and see what else KPOP has to offer. I managed to stumble across a group which I never heard of before, 1NB. Currently, they are a five-member girl group under Trivus Entertainment, who made their debut last week. From what I managed to find, 1NB used to be a trio at the start of the year when they released their pre-debut single, Stalker (review coming soon). One of the members ended up leaving and 3 new members were added to the lineup, leading up to the release of Where U At.

Where U At feels like a pretty standard song. But there were parts of the song that were appealing and unique, allowing to standout in some ways. The song, to me, sounds like a mixture of RnB and dance combined. It results in a sound that is quite pleasant, despite the lyrics going in the other direction. The violins in the background and the guitar riffs in the second verse give it a more dramatic touch. But what sells me the song is the vocal work. All the members seem to have a husky voice, which makes the song sound so good. It also makes the song more unique. I have to say though, the ending of the song seems to feature vocals that seemed a little forced, which I didn’t notice in the rest of the song. Also, the ‘Where You At’ chorus is extremely catchy, giving the song that memorable element that I tend to talk about.

But I think everyone who knows of this song would be talking more about the music video than the actual song. It starts off with a sexy concept, taking an extremely dark turn. Essentially, these two girls partner together to take revenge upon a cheating boyfriend. One of them seduces the cheating man and drugs him. Once he is knocked out, he is brutally killed and he is eaten by the girls, who are quite satisfied with the outcome. It is obviously slapped with a 19+ rating for both the sexy and gory side of the video. If you have yet to check out the video, I definitely recommend this one (provided you are not grossed out by blood and organs).

The choreography was quite good. It just doesn’t have that memorable side to it. However, the choreography at the “Where You At” chorus, which fits the song ideally and matching the intensity.

Song – 9/10
Music Video – 10/10
Performance – 8/10
Overall Rating – 9/10
