K4R4 N1c0l3 talks about the current rumors

"I'm just one person. I don't think that K4R4 should change, or be broken apart, because of me. So I thought about splitting up my contracts between me as a K4R4 member and me in relation to the company, split between my private and public life."

"I still have a lot of goals. That's why I want to re-make myself, while doing my best within K4R4. To do that, I feel that I need time and effort ... that's why I decided to not renew my personal contract with D$P, since I wanted to put that effort into my future."

Aww. :alright:

Visually, I like it, but I saw the showcase and the song is shit. Might be one of those cases where the MV actually helps the song and not the other way around. Gave me some Genie/Mr.Taxi/VisualDreams mix vibes, too. =_=

TL:DR up ahead:

They really used the highlights of the songs for the teasers and I gotta admit it was a bit of a letdown. Dunno how to describe the general sound of the album...a mix of acid/tarantella/jazz-hot/pop?


  1. Romance of the 2nd - The album opens quite nicely with this song. It's quite chill while remaining sharp and Aiyou's voice really compliments the guitar that plays throughout the whole track. More fitting to be the main song rather than Modern Times, IMO. 4/5
    Where da fuq have I heard that guitar riff before!? It's going to kill me until I find out.

  2. Everyone Has a Secret - In short, Ga!n kills it...Aiyou not so much. It's sexy and it needs it's own lesbian themed MV, but it doesn't look too good when the featuring artist outshines the main singer. 4.5/5

  3. Between the Lips (50 cm) - This was the song I was looking forward to listening the most, and it didn't disappoint. It's slow and alluring. Love everything in this song: Aiyou's voice, the playful piano & trumpets, the drums, the bass and guitars, the lyrics and how they all mesh perfectly together. 5/5

  4. The Red Shoes - Dat drumroll at the beginning gives me life, the perfect intro. What follows though, is a frustrating push and pull. The verses are nice and on point matching perfectly with the dramatic orchesta, but the chorus greatly ruins the song. Although the fabolous drums are still there I do not like the sudden change to flowery singing. Maybe if she was more aggresive during the chorus it would have sounded more cohesive. 3.5/5

  5. Modern Times - Fun and jazzy, it slowly builds up and ends up quite nicely. Really does fit a Charlie Chaplin movie, but it sounds more like a filler than the lead song. 3.5/5

  6. Bad Day - The obligatory slow and melancholic song of every album. Don't usually like these kinds of songs, but this is actually quite nice and it only gets better after the 1:40 mark. 3/5

  7. Obliviate - Starts with the familiar bossa nova sound and if quickly builds up with a stronger orchestra, but I feel like her voice fell short during the stronger parts of the song. 2.5/5

  8. Child, Walk With Me - Another song I was looking forward to. Love the slow bossa nova here. Her voice meshes well with Mr. Ch0i's unlike her song with Ga!n's. 3.5/5

  9. Havana - Not much to say here. I enjoy the sound, but once again, she fails to understand the sound of the song, if that makes any sense. The worst song of the album IMO. 1.5/5

  10. Depression Clock - J0nhyun is barely there and I like that, since he usually likes to belt out those lines. It's a cute and simple song. Feels like the perfect song to listen while waiting for a date. Fanfiction time! 3/5

  11. Daydream - Don't have much of an opinion for this song. Perfect filler. 2.5/5

  12. Wait - Aiyou barely sings here. A short and cool outro with a nice acid jazz sound. 3/5

  13. Voice Mail - An extra track, think it a korean version of one of her Japanese singles, not 100%. Quite acustic-y and Aiyou's voice strangely sound a bit more powerful here than the rest of the album. 3/5


Best songs: Romance of the 2nd, Everyone Has A Secret, Between the Lips (50 cm).
Good songs: The Red Shoes, Modern Times, Depression Clock.
Ok songs: Bad Day, Child, Walk With Me, Daydream, Voice Mail.
Worst songs: Obliviate, Havana, Wait.

All in all, I give it a somewhat dissapointing 3.7/5.
The album didn't completely live up to it's hype; it's the first five songs plus the outro that really save the album from sounding completely generic. Sad to say that I won't be buying the physical album like I first intended, but I'll definitely be buying the songs I liked.


If anyone is interested on the translation for Everyone Has A Secret:

Pretty sure it goes like this:

Ga!n.
Aiyou.
Both

Ga!n has a more husky and raspy voice.

besides starcraft and league of legends, i've come across quite a few koreans while playing counter strike and tf2, and i've seen decent sized korean modding communities for the sims and skyrim.

If only the girls made music like this, then maybe I would buy their stuffs or at least have their songs on my Ipod. I'm so sick of those cute colorful themes, let's just hope their new album will be decent or I'm going to cry :dramaqueen:
