Pop

Cherry Wish

Cherry Bullet

4 stars

South Korean girl group Cherry Bullet has gone retro in its second EP Cherry Wish, drawing on music styles of the past to create a lovably nostalgic work.

Despite its futuristic-sounding title, opener Love In Space evokes 1980s synth-pop, complete with robotic-sounding riffs.

Hiccups is reminiscent of 1950s doo-wop and expresses the embarrassment of hiccuping in front of a loved one. While My Boo has the same bubblegum-pop vibe of the seminal 1960s hit I Want You Back by American band The Jackson 5.
