APRIL ~ Boing Boing
April made a splash earlier this year with their debut mini-album, 'Dreaming.' The album hit number 8 on the album charts and
was an impressive debut for the six girls. After having lost member Somin, they
are staging their comeback as a five-some, with their first single album 'Boing Boing.' The Album released on 30th November 2015
"Glass Castle" starts with synth blasts and a jangly guitar joins along with chimes and triangles. It's a light, playful tune with the girl's trademark high-pitched vocals and an easy beat. It's got a bit of swing influence here, but mostly it's pure saccharine pop.
"Muah!" has more of a horn
influence, with some vibrating synth riffs behind them. This has a little of
everything, with cute idol rapping, angelic bridges, and synth slams during the
chorus to give the song some punch. It's a catchy tune, and the hook in the
pre-chorus is what does it: "Come to me, baby kiss my
lips." The next lines change
with the verses. The title "Muah!" refers to the sound you
make you give someone a kiss.
April is a fun band. Why more people aren't into them I can't guess. Yes, we already have a glut of these bands, such as G-Friend, and Lovelyz, Red Velvet, and Oh My Girl, but some of these rookie bands have already managed to shoot into the charts, and I think it'sApril's turn. If you're a fan, this release is great news, and something to whet your appetite while waiting for a full comeback. If you're not, just think: you can get your "cute fix" from these girls while you're waiting for your bias.
