The elegant ladies of Nine Muses are back after a very short four months break from their last album. Once again, Nine Muses show off their feminine charm and sultry vocals in their new mini-album, Lost. Lost is a colorful variety-pack of dance pop songs ranging from dreamy to retro flavors. You’re sure to find something that’ll suit your taste.
Track 1 – a.m. 3:00
The album opens with heavy beat that mimics the sound of a clock, accompanied by piano and a bit of fantasy synth. am 3:00 is the perfect mysterious, dramatic intro for the title track. I can see it as the type of music one would relate to when they can’t fall asleep because of problems.
Track 2 – 잠은 안오고 배는 고프고 (Sleepless Night)
As the title implies, Sleepless Night starts with ticking clock sound that you’d hear when you want to sleep but can’t. This mid-tempo dance pop track has a modern piano melody with triple rhythms, and light use of synths to create a whimsical effect. Since the lyrics talk about a woman having trouble sleeping from feeling lost after a break up, Nine Muses’ voices are toned down to almost an airy whisper, which I think works great for the song.
Track 3 – 몰래 (Secret)
Secret has a retro 90’s undertone to it thanks to the rhythmical drum beats and the funky electric guitar. The recurring beeping synth is what makes this dance pop number sound more contemporary and even a bit futuristic. Unlike the previous track Sleepless Night, Secret has more belting vocals and a rap section that I particularly enjoy.
Track 4 – 쿵치딱치 (Koong Chit Dak Chit)
Here we have another song that exudes a vintage feel due to the jazzy melody, funky beats, and heavy brass instrumentals next to Nine Muses’ sassy vocals. Different from previous tracks, Koong Chit Dak Chit has a fun and spicy mood that makes it a lively tune to dance to.
Track 5 – To. Mine
Written by the members themselves and given as a present to the fans, To. Mine is a song with a festive holiday aura as it kicks off with christmas bells, and then adds romantic acoustic guitar sounds and finger snap beats on top. Nine Muses’ sweet voices make it a very heart-warming song, though a fairly standard one.
Track 6 – 잠은 안오고 배는 고프고(Sleepless Night) (Inst.)
