| CAMO's 'Yours Truly': A Bold Evolution in Korean Hip-Hop and Pop |
A Mixtape of Many Flavors
At the core of Yours Truly is the focus track "K-PACK," an anthem of confidence where CAMO delivers sharp, impactful lyrics over a hard-hitting beat. Accompanied by a visually striking music video featuring South Korean comedian and model Hong Jin-kyung, the track is already generating significant buzz. In the video, Hong appears in a kimchi factory, engaging in a humorous exchange with CAMO, blending the fun energy of the song with quirky visuals.
But Yours Truly is far from a one-note mixtape. From playful tracks like “Only You,” featuring Leellamarz, a re-imagining of RAIN’s classic JYP anthem, to introspective ballads such as “Waterfalls” and “You Know,” CAMO demonstrates her range as an artist. These acoustic-driven tracks show a softer, more emotional side of her music, while hard-hitting songs like "Round & Round" and "Don’t Text Me" maintain the energy and fierceness that CAMO fans know and love.
The mixtape boasts an impressive list of collaborators, including some of the biggest names in the Korean hip-hop scene like BIG NAUGHTY, pH-1, GIRIBOY, and CHANGMO. Their contributions elevate the mixtape, offering a diverse and fresh listening experience.
Netizens React
Fans from all over the world have been flooding social media to share their thoughts on Yours Truly. Here’s what some netizens had to say:
“I knew CAMO was good, but Yours Truly just hit different. ‘K-PACK’ has been on repeat since it dropped. The music video with Hong Jin-kyung?? ICONIC.”
