“Coco water” beautifully cuts the mustard as a “Whee In song,” basking in the calming embrace of an idyllic, inviting summer night, like a sonic oasis of sultry rhythms, shimmering instrumentals, and soulful vocals. I delight in having a word with her—the Mamamoo member and solo artist—on the song, her new digital single, in a sense of gratifying contentment. I’ve been her fan for the K-pop star and adept singer that she is, and for how she maintains a cohesive and distinctive artistic identity in each of her appearances.
“Coco Water,” Whee In says, “is an R&B track with a chill mood and lyrics that fully convey the summer season from a child’s point of view, away from tiring daily life. It’s just perfect for this summer!” The tune is distinct in that its sonic objective is bright and warm. Whee In’s honey voice evokes languid comfort as if cruising down the open road, windows down, and the warm summer breeze stroking the face. Is it a narrative in your mind or an expression of emotions from a memory? “When you watch the music video, you’ll feel like reminiscing about fun memories from the past,” she replies, adding that instead of a hot summer, it recalls romantic summer days.
