HOT PINK - EXID Review
EXID joins the November comebacks and released their digital single, Hot Pink! As usual, EXID comes out with an interesting and different music video and song. Right when I listened to this song, it gave off a strong 90’s music feel. Especially during the parts where it says, “push push push work it out/ don’t stop hey work it out,” there is a similarity to the song “Push it” by Salt-n-Pepa. But its not entirely the same, for it has a different beat and different style. I also love the contrast between LE's rapping and the vocals from the other group members.
There are many people already criticizing this song saying that its another “version” of Up and Down, but I disagree! Hot Pink is something different from their other music styles, but they still have that sexy image. I am surprised by the amount of English there is in this song, even though it might not really make sense. The “U I like the way you pink it” is a little confusing, what do you mean by “pink it”!? haha. But for some reason LE can pull it off and make it sound catchy. I also thought “pink hot” was pink oil, but it kind of makes sense right?! I am still a little confused why the song is called Hot Pink and reading the english translations do not make that much sense. So I’m thinking its one of those songs that will only make sense in Korean and translating it into English doesn’t capture the true meanings. Maybe its about how they make guys get that “embarrassed” feeling you know the rosy cheeks or red ears? Maybe thats what they mean when they mention the color pink? I just know from watching the music video, they are really good at catching a guy’s attention.
I am very excited to see them perform on music shows because I am dying to see the rest of the choreography! The dance for the chorus is very cute even if its very simple. They also look like they are having fun like in the beginning scenes. I really love how the music video was filmed as well! But I don’t know why the gas station was a big part of it. I thought the part where they are all throwing the money was pretty cute, it was kind of something an American music video would do haha. I was reading articles prior to their comeback about this song and how LE made a big contribution to this song and I give her props for this song, she worked very hard and it paid off. Overall this song is one of my favorites from EXID and if you haven’t listened to them yet you should, you will not be disappointed.
