Everything about WayV’s BIG BANDS radiates confidence. The title track for the group’s 7th mini album (also titled BIG BANDS) uses jazz and brass elements to invoke the energy of big band music.
“Yeah, we hit ya like big bands
Low notes and accent marks, we got ’em big plans
Got my name in your mouth, you a big fan
Keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, up, up, up
Yeah, we got big bands
Up so close, you still can’t tell like a big man
So, stop the music, it’s still not enough, all respect
One melody emerging over thousands, everyone fall for me
‘Cause we hit ya like big bands!”
What you get is a dynamic dance track that mirrors the group’s self-assurance. It kinda makes you think of WayV as a big band made up of distinct instruments. Each member doing their own thing, but still managing to stand out individually.
A Bold New World
The music video for BIG BANDS wants us to imagine a world where you start redesigning the world around you to match who you truly are.
It would be a world full of color, random explosions, and elephants riding on little bicycles. Each member has the ability that allows them to transform their surroundings, and the results are wonderfully chaotic.
The choreography is relaxed while still looking powerful. Near the end of the video, WayV is joined by around 36 backup dancers for a sequence that creates a sense of scale and energy that matches the song’s tone.
Be Unapologetically You
WayV’s BIG BANDS reminds us that transformation isn’t about erasing who you were. It’s a sign that you’re evolving into the person you are supposed to be.
When people are given space to be themselves, they can build something beautiful. Sometimes, embracing change is the key to achieving this. And when that happens, it can make the world look a little brighter and more vibrant.
