KARA is a four member girl group from South Korea. They amazed us last year with 'Mister' and 'Wanna.' They are back with their new single Lupin and their new concept of being thieves like Arsène Lupin from the Maurice Leblanc novels.
Lilith says ♥ KARA is fierce again! Finally!
Tasty Love is a cute pop song with a retro feel (I wanna say 90's but I never correctly remember my decades). KARA's breathy vocals add to this song to give it an extra happy feel.
The title song, 루팡 (Lupin), is amazingly addictive. It is one of those songs that you could sneak around the neighborhood at midnight while listening to it and feel as if you would never get caught. I first thought that this would have trouble getting as popular as Mister did last year but I'm beginning to think otherwise. This song could go far. 루팡 (Lupin)'s verses are very dance oriented. The chorus and bridge are more poppy which makes the song seem awkward the first few times you listen.
Umbrella sounds so eighties I can imagine it as the intro song to That 70's Show. Very catchy chorus. My only wish is that they wouldn't let Nicole rap anymore.
KARA keeps up with their usual retro feel with Rollin'. I get images of them with beat up roller skates on, rolling through the suburban neighborhoods. The vocals in this song aren't as great as the other songs. Because of that, the song isn't that great. Well, that and the repetitive chorus that never seems to stop.
Lonely is either a very unoriginal song or a cover of a song because I could swear I've heard it before. The song sounds like it came off of an OST for Full House or Coffee Prince. As usual, KARA ended with a ballad of sorts.
Final note: If they hadn't let Nicole rap, this would have gotten a eight.
Overall: 7/10
