There's only 9 days left to send in your rates if you'd like to participate in The Ultimate K-Pop Boy Band Singles Rate. So make sure to send those in as soon as possible if you don't want to see your faves get paid dust. Thank you!
Other groups often sound like a bunch of people yanking each other out of the spotlight for a chance to shine, but 4Minute hold onto a strange sense of teamwork, like pool aerobics. Here they are going for R&B ballad territory.

5 weeks into 2015 and this piano coda is the best thing I’ve heard yet. The hip-hop breakdown midway through is up there too, even if the rest is a little too whipped cream cloud to be really interesting

Sometimes in the midst of sadness, you get to the point where embracing it feels like the best answer. You don’t stop feeling sad, but on some level take a perverse joy from the bad too, whether that’s locking yourself out of your flat on the way to work at an awful time, or just being met by appropriate weather. “Cold Rain” is soaked through with sadness, the singing sounding somewhere between stoic and drained around its teardrop synth pings. Yet in its dancing piano runs and in Hyuna and Sohyun’s looser parts, it gets that hint of uplift just right, too.
Interesting that although Hyuna is not the main focus of the MV, she kinda blows the others out of the water in this live setting. Bit more confidence and energy, and she's also better at lip syncing.
edit: also, disappointed to see Korea's abandoning of 2/3rd gen girl groups continuing with this 4minute comeback, starting to lose hope tbh.
