Nine Muses / NEWS
“NEWS” is really what I always imagined Nine Muses would do. Sexy, adult, modern, fashionable K-Pop - a high(er) end version of the Girls’ Generation mold. And at last they live up to their ‘supermodel’ status. Not only do they look like supermodels in the video, they sound like them as well, with all the too-cool, disaffected attitude to match. It’s produced by SweetTune (KARA, Rainbow, INFINITE) though, so it doesn’t take itself too seriously. All the toy-sounding effects in the verses balance the chorus and keep it fun.
A strong start to K-Pop 2012 and Nine Muses’ best single to date.
