Previously, in April, Riize pre-released the songs "Impossible"(Review), "One Kiss" and "9 Days" (Review) for their then-upcoming first mini-album RIIZING. Now, my ...ahem, the long wait is over, and Riize has finally released RIIZING and its lead single and title track, "Boom Boom Bass."

"Boom Boom Bass" Review


"Boom Boom Bass" is the funky version of "Get A Guitar," and it makes sense as both songs were composed by the same people. I just have to say that I love both songs a lot, and so far, Riize hasn't let me down. 
I love bass lines in songs and the nice, groovy bass sound of "Boom Boom Bass" is absolutely fantastic. The pre-chorus (example) reminds me of Daft Punk and I'm all in for that. The only disappointing thing about this song is its length. 2:33 is too short.
The MV is nice, fun and chaotic. I really like the shots at the trashed restaurant at 1:02; they are quite fast paced. I also like the part where Wonbin flies through space at 1:51 -the bass case has "DO NOT OPEN" written on it, so there is only one person to blame Wonbin- The part at 1:13 feels like a call back to 1:13 of "Get A Guitar," how cute.
The choreography is really good and fits the song very-well. For some, reason my legs hurt while watching the dancing at the chorus. 
Style-wise, I love the outfits in this MV; I have no complaints. Wonbin's greenish denim jacket is gorgeous, as is his faux leather jacket. Sungchan leather jacket also looks beautiful. I am a sucker for group outfits, so I loved having two variations of it during the MV (see 0:46 and 2:35).
I wonder what Riize's next instrument will be...
