The K-pop group's eighth EP,
DUH! finds
P1Harmony in fine form; it's an absolute blast of fun that keeps the energy high, the genres varied, and everything irresistible. Back-to-front, there are no skips and each of the six tracks could be a viable single. The cool swagger of the title track is amplified by alarm blares and group chants, while the menacing beat of "Pretty Boy" and the horn-backed stomp of "Murmur" add heft. There's even some glam rock theatricality on the pulsing "Flashy," nostalgic sax-infused chaos on "Over and Over," and hyperpop blips on the head-spinning "Work." Clocking in at under 20 minutes,
DUH! is ideal for endless repeat and so catchy it deserves to be a full-length album. ~ Neil Z. Yeung
