Kpop: 9Muses - Drama

While 2013 was a golden year in my opinion for 9Muses with three great videos, 2014 meant losing some members and releasing nothing (I don't count sub-unit Nasty Nasty) the new Drama has two new girls joining the group making the "nine muses" actually counting eight lovely ladies... 9Muses is known for consistently delivering good (not fantastic) songs, and for their consistent concept (which to be honest is a kind of classic pin-up look), and the new music video is no exception even though I must say it's not up to Glue, Gun or Wild in either department. But it's not bad either, to be honest. The lyrics is about a girl being in love with her friend's boyfriend, and more drama is delivering as we get a remake of a (the) classic Marilyn Monroe scene.

Kpop: 9Muses - Glue(글루)

If I was to mention one kpop group that I would say delivers the highest percentage of good songs and videos, not the best but never failing or being boring, then I would give you 9Muses. Their concept is to do uptempo and uncomplicated videos with they 9 memebers showing of their looks. They usually have some kind of loose visual theme, with the last one for Gun being maybe the best one, but its really just an excuse to do almost pin-up style photoshoots of the girls. It's objectification, of course, like most of the other kpop, but somehow 9Muses does their thing consistently and with a smile without going to the extreme (again, Gun is a prime example, do watch it). The new song "Glue" is somewhat simpler than Gun, the theme here being kind of Friday at the disco. It does make me think they have tried to copy AOA's latest "Confused", which is better both visually and musically, but that is the point - 9Muses may not rock the show or place in the top spot, but they always deliver.
