Upon hearing Chungha’s new single album, many commented that opener I’m Ready felt more like a title track than the playful sing-talk of Eenie Meanie. I agree, and judging by the virality of I’m Ready‘s newly-released promo video, it may end up having the last laugh after all.
I’m Ready finds Chungha firmly back on the dancefloor, delivering a club banger with unyielding energy and charisma. She excels in this realm and is practically tailor-made for some big DJ collaborations. On its face, I’m Ready is generic club fluff, cycling around a repeated hook so often that it nearly grows stale. Fortunately, its throbbing beat keeps things chugging along at such a pace you’ll hardly notice its lack of structural diversity. Coupled with her ultra-compelling dance performance, the song emerges as a strutting shot of confidence that’ll have plenty of listeners walking the runway in their own home.
