Girl Band Nine Muses Comeback With the New Fifth Mini Album Lost

Nine Muses ~ Lost

Nine Muses has dropped their new album, and they hope it won't be 'Lost' on fans. This is their third comeback this year, having released  'Drama' in January and 'Hurt Locker' in July. . The title track, , "Sleepless Night," was produced by Brave Brothers, and "TO.MINE" features lyrics written by the members themselves. Are you ready to give it spin?  

The first track, "a.m. 3:00" has an insistent piano line, like a ticking clock. You've done this too, whiling away in bed, awake, wishing you weren't. Ethereal and a bit eerie, this intro track is mostly about insomnia, leading into the title song. 

"Sleepless Night," a slow groove with an unknown singer crooning "Baby" in the background. It's kind of a swingy melody, punchy yet seductive. The Brave Brothers team has succeeded in crafting something original. The effects that make up the song are great, like the ticking clock that starts up again mid-bridge, the dialtone, etc. The piano is haunting by itself. The actual Hangul title of the song is "Can't Sleep, I'm Hungry," but the reason she can't sleep is because she can't stop thinking about the guy she lost.  

Next up is "Secret," which is what I would have used as a title song. I love the lonely, searching bleeps of the synth in the beginning that are joined by an electric guitar and a more filled-out tune. We still have the drip drop from the synthesizer throughout, giving body to this danceable, seductive track. There's a breathless quality here, that just adds to the tension before the chorus. The song itself is a sneaky encounter with a lover. 

We come to "Koong Chit Dak Chit," which is bold and brassy, and has a very different feel from the songs on this disc that we've heard thus far. The sassy horns are great, and the vocals on this track are strong and direct, the way they need to be given the subject matter. The song is about breaking up with a conceited loser -- no regrets.

"TO.MINE" is A folksy pop number with silky harmonies, sung to an acoustic guitar. I like it, because it's not entirely a ballad, but more a tune with a sweeping aesthetic. It's a pretty tune, and sometimes these girls sound so delicate in the arrangement. It's a pleasant finisher, a nice way to come down after the brattiness in "Koong Chit Dak Chit" and the urgency of "Secret." Put simply, it's an ode to a boy.
