F(X) PREMIERES "ELECTRIC SHOCK" MUSIC VIDEO!

I have been jamming to "Electric Shock" so hard for the last 24 hours. The single is so fierce, so fun, dancey, and just flawless. The girls spent almost an entire year preparing for this comeback, giving the audience enough time to miss them and giving themselves enough time to find a sound that would be F(X) and no one else's and I'm happy they took the time because it totally paid off!

The single does a great job at making them all very, very likable. They're all given even parts so they all have the time to shine. Also, note that Amber actually sing / talks in this song rather than her typical useless "raps". I think SM is finally making some good decisions regarding F(X). They have spent time in their sound, image and overall appeal. The production for this single is beyond epic, it's so sharp, it has the right amount of processing, the right amount of beats, and the right amount of build-ups.

The music video finishes the work. All the girls look lovely, absolutely stunning, specially during their solo shots, seriously fierce. They've done such a great job I can't even choose a fave, Amber included. I'm new to their music so I don't know their names but the blonde girl had my attention for a bit, but then the girls with long brown hair started slaying me, and then the one with dirty blonde just popped outta nowhere and blew my mind...and then Amber out of all of them gave me life during the bridge. Who do I choose? I must have a bias!!! (Bias is what Koreans call "favez")

The styling for the music video is sharper than a chola's eyebrows. The outfits make sense, the hair colors make sense, the make up makes sense, everything is calculated so perfectly that an OCD person like me can't help but fall deep in love. The "RICH" and "SICK" shirts are fucking fierce! The football shirt, epic! The colors they chose for the outfits are so vibrant and electric, I love it!

As far as the choreography, it seems they've taken some advice from T-Ara and it's great, because one of T-Ara's best attributes is that their choreo is simple but fierce and clean. F(X) for once have an epic choreo that isn't being shadowed by useless steps. The steps for the chorus are so easy to learn, everything is manipulated so efficiently, an A+! And with this song being this fun you know everyone's gonna be dancing along to this at the Korean karaoke bars. 

Now the special effects for the video were a bit cheesy and expected but I was too busy drooling over everything else to really give a fuck.

F(X) RETURNS WITH HOT "ELECTRIC SHOCK (EP)"

I didn't like F(X) in the beginning. I saw them as 2NE1 wannabes, but when they released "Pinocchio" I was like, who are they? I need them in my life, now! And so I began to like them. Now they've released their comeback single / EP "Electric Shock" and let me tell you, it's fucking amazing! It's definitely their best work thus far, and it finally sets them apart from the other KPOP groups. Here's what I think of the tracks.

"Electric Shock" is a very fun song, it has an amazing intro, very electric. The instrumental of the song sounds like something SHINee rejected, therefore I love it. The build-up from the pre-chorus to chorus is fucking flawless! I really hope they give Amber a good rap this time because the one in Pinochio was kind of stupid.

"Jet" also has a quirky intro, very similar to "Electric Shock", actually the songs kinda sound similar but that's to be expected, SM doesn't work with different producers. "Jet" is a bit flirty though, actually very flirty and cute. I like when they say "JET!"

"Zig Zag" reminds me of "I'm A Slave 4 U" by Britney. The intro has that sound to it, the bells, etc. It's a really good track though.

"Beautiful Stranger" has a long, suspenseful intro with a  massive build up that leads to a very boring rap by Amber. It's so sad when they waste good beats on useless raps. 

"Love Hate" is one of the most different songs in the EP. Its really weird, that's the only way I can describe it. It definitely is original, I've never heard anything like it. I like the song though, the chorus is all campy with "I love you, I hate you!" chants, very cute!

"Let's Try" is their attempt at a ballad, it's not what I'm here for so I skipped. Maybe I'll listen next time I'm heartbroken. 

Over all the EP is solid, it's very fresh, very cute and flirty. I love it. I'm gonna keep "Let's Try" for a night I'm drunk and need some "alone" time lol!

Here's a sampler of the EP! And check back soon for the music video!
