[Review] T-ARA ‘Mirage’ Part 3

12 September, 2012 - Alohomora | 0 Comments

Again Ahreum is featured in this video rapping. I must say that her rap is exponentially more tolerable to listen to than the electro mess that was in “Sexy Love“, and she has clearly demonstrated that she is at least capable of rapping. What concerns me, and not to bring a bag o’ controversy into this, is that her first rap is nearly identical in style to the one Hwayoung spit out in the DAVICHI collaboration. Everything from the opening, to the metric rhythm she used, to the emphasis on an unchanging syllable. Despite these similarities, Ahreum’s rap lacks the sheer power and emotion that was represented in the earlier recording, leaving “Day and Night” to sound rather stale in this regard. While this demonstrated her capability, it just seems like a bad move by the producers to attempt to fill the void of the rapper with a duplicate shell of its former self. While I’m certainly not saying that Ahreum doesn’t have potential, should she continue to be stenciled in the group in such a manner, rather than promoting what originality she has, then she will forever be seen as purely lackluster.

Overall, I really enjoyed listening to “Sexy Love“. I feel that it’s a strong song that’ll sit towards the top of the pile in memorable T-ARA releases. However, while I laud KKS for attempting to showcase their newest toy in Ahreum, I feel that something other than what was done with her in this release must be done. Should whatever that is be accomplished, I feel the glaring weaknesses that were tenfold throughout this release will be minimized. So for as much as I was curious and excited for ‘Mirage‘, I will be even more curious and excited for their next release and how they handle the inclusion of the next new member, Dani.

Rating Overview

Pros: “Sexy Love” follows T-ARA’s successful formula, song isn’t as banal as previous releases, music video is well done, toy concept, strong addition to ‘DAY BY DAY’, whisper-like vocals in “Day and Night”.

Cons: Ahreum rapping on “Sexy Love”, boppy synth in “Sexy Love”, Ahreum rapping in “Day and Night”, attempting to fill in the rap spot by unsuccessfully trying to duplicate Hwayoung.
