MAMAMOOSIC

Welcome to MAMAMOOSIC, a blog project which focuses on the incredible music of MAMAMOO, a 4-member Korean girl group created in 2014 by Kim Do-Hoon of RBW (Rainbow Bridge World). The music of MAMAMOO employs elements of jazz, soul, funk, lounge, urban R&B, hip-hop, EDM and world music to produce a unique modern style which, although highly musical, ultimately still aims primarily for fun and excitement. Each post on this blog project will closely examine one of MAMAMOO's albums, and also include links to secondary non-album releases, exclusive online tracks, and live covers. Although MAMAMOO's accomplishments also extend into video production, dance, and fan engagement (of course), for now this blog will only concentrate on their musical achievements.

MIC ON

Mamamoo's 15th album (12th EP), MIC ON, was released on Oct. 11, 2022, and contained 3 uptempo songs, "1,2,3 Eoi!", "ILLELLA" (the title track), and "L.I.E.C". Following promotions for this release, Mamamoo embarked on a "world tour" titled "MY CON". Starting with 5 shows in Korea (Seoul and Chiba), the tour is currently scheduled into 2023 with dates in Japan, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Jakarta, Philippines and 9 dates in the United States.

WAW (& I SAY MAMAMOO: THE BEST)

Mamamoo's 11th EP, WAW, was released on June 2nd, 2021. A celebration of their 7th year as recording artists, this album was their first to consist entirely of ballads and slower tempo anthems. Promotions featured the title track "Where Are We Now" as well as "Destiny Part.2", a ballad version of the Reality in Black track which originally debuted as a single for the "Queendom" TV program. An episode of Moon Byul's "Studio Moon Night" served as a platform for a "Comeback show".

At the end of August the WAW Live Concert was held online. Originally slated for May, this concert would have debuted "Where Are We Now" before the release of WAW, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic the concert was repeatedly delayed and eventually ended up as a late summer online event (as opposed to their original plans for a late spring "offline" concert). Nonetheless, the WAW Concert did debut the songs "Happier Than Ever" and "Mumumumuch", both of which would appear on Mamamoo's following album, I SAY MAMAMOO: THE BEST.
