FIFTY FIFTY, Barbie Dreams (Ft. Kaliii) [📷: Atlantic / Warner Bros. Entertainment]South Korean girl group, FIFTY FIFTY, with the assist of American rapper, Kaliii, deliver “Barbie Dreams,” another fun bop from Barbie: The Album.

“When I close my eyes, it’s a fantasy / Perfect plastic life from a magazine.” Yep, 🎙 FIFTY FIFTY, it’s giving Barbie, specifically 💿 Barbie: The Album (out July 21, 2023). The South-Korean girl group continues singing in the centerpiece, the chorus, “Then I wake up, it’s reality / I can have it all, live my Barbie dreams.” Sigh, those 🎵 “Barbie Dreams” are giving #VIBES. The exuberant track, yet another fun piece of Barbie: The Album, was produced by 🎛 Space Primates.  Space Primates definitely puts in the work to make this joint shimmer something fierce. Of course, FIFTY FIFTY gets a lift from American rapper, 🎙 Kaliii.

Barbie The Album [📷: Atlantic / Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc.]“Barbie Dreams” isn’t deep, nor is it expected to be.  These Barbie songs have all been enjoyable and fun. “Barbie dreams” is no different. 🎙 Sio sings the first verse, asserting, “Pink Prima Donna, I’m feeling hot tonight / That pretty state of mind, because I’m with my…” Her, “girls” of course, which 🎙 Aran adds in the pre-chorus, expanding the pinkness prior to the chorus.  Adding to the exuberance are the carefree “La-di-da-da-da(s)” of the post-chorus.  luv itKaliii, of course, gets her moment in the second verse, complementing FIFTY FIFTY perfectly (“Ken gon’ spend ‘cause I’m a ten / Pink Corvette, let’s paint the rims”).  All in all, while nothing substantive comes out of 🎵 “Barbie Dreams” it’s an ear-catching F-U-N bop. The pink speaks for itself – rather, the song!
