Let’s talk about “Dhuengdu” — the original. Slatine and Anyar Yol gave us a love anthem so sweet it could convince even your toxic ex to apologize. It was smooth, soulful, and had us all in our feelings, texting people we swore we’d blocked, i mean, we at some point sent that tiktok sound to our long term sneaky links.
Then out of nowhere, John Frog shows up like a boda boda with no brakes, shouting his way through the remix like the song owed him money, or he was promised free fuel.
Gone is the gentle emotion. Instead, we get “ARE YOU MAD?” energy over a beat that sounds like it’s training for a boxing match. Anyar Yol was out here singing to the moon. John Frog came in yelling at the stars.
Slatine crafted a love letter. John Frog scribbled over it with a crayon.
Honestly, this remix feels like someone poured soda into tea. Unnecessary. Loud. Confusing. The original “Dhuengdu” made us cry, sing with her frog voices, yes, frog voices. The remix made us cry for different reasons.
Slatine, please. Bring back the real “Dhuengdu.” And this time, lock the studio door before John Frog finds it again.
