Dazzling the world with their strong image and vocals, 4Minute did it again with their new album Act.7. Act.7 is like a continuation of their previous album Crazy, with equally ostentatious and rebellious attitude. And since Crazy really had long lasting effects on me, I naturally have high expectations for this album. Luckily the girls did not disappoint. Exploring more into R&B and EDM genres, 4Minute shows off their diva charisma in Act.7 with the help of whimsical synths, unique rhythms, and statement-making tunes.
Track 1- 싫어 (Hate)
Hate is the title track of Act.7 and is as powerful as 4Minute’s previous hits thanks to the pounding beat combined with heavy synth and dynamic rhythms. I really liked that Hate starts off with the smooth and sultry voice of Gayoon accompanied by mellow piano sounds, then layers on Hyuna’s edgy rap full of swagger — all these elements fit perfectly into one impressive EDM piece.
Track 2- No Love
After the strong opening with Hate, No Love transitions to a synth-filled relaxing reverie. Upon listening, I instantly became hooked on the rap and chorus. As a whole, the alluring vocals, cool raps, groovy melody, and addictive synths work together to make me fall for this dreamy R&B song.
Track 3- Blind
Next up is Blind, a slow tempo EDM R&B track with an unusual, whimsical synth to set the tone. At first, the groovy instrumental made me think that Blind was going to be another catchy song, but it didn’t really hook me in the end perhaps because of the protracted melody. Compared to the rest of the album, Blind isn’t quite as memorable to me.
Track 4- Canvas
Canvas is a hip hop song that uses finger snaps to keep the beat at first then transitions into a mix of light trap rhythms. 4Minute’s seductive vocals adds to the sexy and illusory vibe of the song. It actually sounds like a lounge club number that belongs on a Hyuna album — a continuation of Roll Deep. But nonetheless, I really like the cool and distinctive beat of the song.
Track 5- 싫어 (Hate) (Inst.)
