Even the most hipster-friendly of PPOP acts had to still have some measure of masa accessibility.&nbsp;</p><div><br></div><p style="text-align: justify;">One can argue that the novelty masa-friendly approach of the likes of the <strong><u>Sex Bomb Girls</u></strong> and <strong><u>XLR8</u></strong> kickstarted the PPOP movement long before the term was even coined.&nbsp;</p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong></strong>And after <strong><u>SB19</u></strong> and <strong><u>BINI</u></strong> has come of the rubble and explosion as the respective kings and queens of <strong>PPOP</strong>, it was everybody else&#39;s turn to either keep their turf or create their own niche in the food chain. So it only makes sense for acts to figure out how to connect to as many people as they possibly can and capture a sustainable piece of that pie.&nbsp;</p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><p style="text-align: justify;">And now we look at three acts - one who&#39;s fast-emerging as a new favorite in the field, and two neo-pioneers making different ways to come back...</p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><u>BABY DOLLS</u> DROPS HAPPY-GO-LUCKY DANCE ANTHEM <u>&ldquo;MEME&rdquo;</u>.&nbsp;</strong>After creating waves for themselves with their viral hits <strong><u>&ldquo;Oohh Lala Baby&rdquo;</u></strong> and <strong><u>&ldquo;Ikembot Mo,&rdquo;</u></strong> breakthrough girl band <strong><u>Baby Dolls</u></strong> returns to keep the fun, positive vibes going with their new dance hit <strong><u>&ldquo;Meme,&rdquo;</u></strong> an optimistic song that invites listeners to let loose, feel exuberance, and dance without a care in the world.&nbsp;</p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/v1YrxXYNB4o?si=nqFGq_jh1L9cxKjH" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9iCR6KBVRek?si=bKQ0DugrGG12M6uq" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong></strong></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><p style="text-align: justify;">The cheerful dance-pop tune was written and produced by <strong><u>Christian Martinez</u></strong> and arranged by <strong><u>Albert Tamayo</u></strong> with certified hitmaker and <strong><u>StarPop</u></strong> <strong>label head</strong> <strong><u>Roque &ldquo;Rox&rdquo; Santos</u></strong> serving as supervising producer. <strong><u>Baby Dolls</u></strong> also contributed to the song&rsquo;s choreography in collaboration with <strong><u>Renz Januz Bercasio</u></strong>.
