Do You Know doesn’t benefit from these comparisons, coming off as a copy rather than a trendsetter. Throughout the entire track, I’m reminded of other 2011-era songs that share this style. Do You Know isn’t flashy at all, sounding more like a 2NE1 b-side than a “throw down the gauntlet” entrance to the industry. However, it’s surprising to hear how subdued this song is - especially for a debut. Brave Brothers’ familiar melodies tie everything together, giving the song a sound that’s distinctly K-pop. Compared to what we hear from them these days, the track isn’t a bad introduction. No wonder they couldn’t get a foothold in the industry until this year!īecause of this, it’s best to look at Do You Know (아나요) as the debut of the Brave Girls brand rather than a lasting idol group. This debut-era iteration includes none of the four members who are currently promoting, making them an entirely different act who just happen to share the Brave Girls name. It doesn’t help that the group has endured a revolving door of members. For me, the group’s music never truly reached its potential until 2016’s Deepened – despite these early singles being Brave Brothers productions. With Brave Girls’ unprecedented resurgence this year, it seems like the perfect time to flashback an entire decade and look at their debut. In this feature, I’ll be looking back at debut songs through the prism of time, re-evaluating how well they hold up and how representative they are of an artist’s eventual singles run. Sometimes, they’re the only song a group delivers!īut, debuts can also be huge wtf moments in an artist’s career. At times, they’re the best song a group delivers.
