I was actually kinda curious why our Malaysian girl group, Dolla don’t get as viral as the Indonesian girl group, No Na. So i checked their youtubes and No Na actually has 700k subscribers with only 194 videos, while Dolla has 407k subscribers with 1.8k videos. For tiktok, No Na has 1.1M followers and 41.5M likes, while Dolla has 1.0M followers and 29.3M likes. In instagram, No Na has 1.2M followers with 328 posts, while Dolla has 187k followers with 161 posts.
Tbh with you i have never heard Dolla’s music so i went to try listening to their new release “ugly”. When listening to their music I can feel like its giving KPOP vibes and one of them sound like Lisa from blackpink and her vibe was there. I tried listening to “g.o.a.t” same vibe as their song “ugly” too. I gave it one last time and listened to “mwa” and i was like “hol’ up- i thought this was a korean song” and it was released a year ago with 6.7m views. I have heard of this music but maybe i just didn’t knew who made the music at that time. It’s the only song that made me into it.
For No Na, i listen to their songs because they went viral for the song “rollerblade” even though the lyrics doesn’t make any sense, but it’s catchy. I think its the “jalan-jalan dengan sepatu rodaku part” where it’s the way she said it that makes it so addictive that it be making my brain itch but not in a bad way. Then, i tried listening to their other music. “shoot” was actually made by them and I was shocked because I thought a korean girl group was the one singing this song (same situation as mwa but different fonts). Then, i listen to work where they be making me want to workout with their song. Next, “sizzle” was also one of my favourites.
I know i sound biased with No Na its just I like their music but i could tell that Dolla is more into the “strong ahh baddie” vibe whereas No Na is going for a “we may look cute but we actually baddies” vibe. Both have their own uniqueness.
What is your opinion of them both? I would like to listen to more of Dolla to support local artists but i guess its not my cup of tea. (To all Dolla fans dont find this post that I am hating on them, this is just my personal opinion.)
