In this series we remember songs that have been forgotten or were never even given the attention they deserved. Today's Hidden Gem is You Bad! Don't Make Me Cry by Matilda
The video doesn't have the best audio quality (way to sabotage yourself) so here's just the song
I predicted this group was gonna be the next big thing. Sadly I was wrong. Moreso than most groups they had a passion for performing and you could tell the members genuinely got along. They're also super pretty and vocally talented. I feel like this song would have been popular if it came out nowadays. That kinda mixing lots of sounds together got popular a couple years ago. It's like each time a new member sings, its a different song. Still a bop though.
All four members competed on The Unit. Semmi and DanA made it to the finale, with Semmi especially gaining attention, but sadly none of them made the final lineup. The show revealed that there were errors in the voting process that affected the final results. I think Semmi was the one affected by this in Uni.T because her not making it made no sense. However since the unit flopped and this was revealed after both groups were disbanded nobody cared. Matilda did release one more song, it was a ballad and kinda boring. Then they officially disbanded. Their label was weird because they did the promos right and Matilda went viral several times but they never released any music while going on these variety shows/competitions. Weird situation. Haena has found success in musical theatre. She was also the winner of Masked Singer. She also got marred recently, so she's doing well. Saetbyeol is a model now. Semmi and Dana aren't up to much, but they are still pursuing the entertainment industry.
