Change – HyunA ft. Poppin Dragon
HyunA, the elusive former Wonder Girls' member and current front woman of 4Minute has embarked upon a career of her very own with her new single, "Change." A hip hop banger featuring guest vocals from Poppin Dragon (BEAST), HyunA manages to carry a flow and thrust her hips throughout the nearly-four-minute song, making you forget the fact that she's still only 17. The song itself is a rather lackluster attempt to differentiate herself from 4Minute; it works more as a vehicle to showcase her dancing ability. There's no denying that HyunA herself is talented, so we're sure the right track will land in the youngster's lap before nearing the end of her teenage years.
Muzik – 4Minute
Appearing on the K-Pop scene only four months ago, 4Minute is wasting no time with releasing music and stirring controversy. Muzik is the third single since their debut (their second single was actually banned by the Korean Broadcasting System for being “too sexually overt”) and the girl group manages to take the electro sound sweeping Korea and twist it into something relatively unique. As if encapsulating a wild night of clubbing into one song, “Muzik” takes the listener on a journey from melodic autotune to a haunting overture to Gwen Stefani-like rapping. Sure to be compared to similar groups circulating the Korean airwaves, 4Minute just might have the opportunity to carve out a niche for themselves.
