My lips are red, monkey butt is red, your cheeks are red and all that is long gone, cause Hyuna just came back with 'A+'. It either means she has upgraded herself or she is just grading herself. 

You chose bruh!

           well anyways, Hyuna strikes back with her fourth mini album titled ‘A+’ which consists of five tracks namely- Run and Run, Because I am the best (Feat. Il hoon Of BTOB), Ding ice (Ice Ice) (Feat. Yuk Ji Dam), Get out of my house (Feat. Jung Yeol Of 10cm), and tranquillity.

      ‘Run and Run’ is the introductory track to the album. The track is short and sweet and gives a small snippet of what the album has in store. The song has a retro beat as it glides along with the vocal and the rap. The clapping beat and the “hey” sounds in the back drop add depth and dimension to the song. The song leaves you asking for more.

      ‘Because I am the best’ the song that was chosen to be made into a music video. ‘Because I am the best’ describes Hyuna as being the envy of her friends because of her level of success and recognition, and her reason to that is because she is the best and she is beautiful. Hyuna elucidates the concept of "too good for the likes of you" vibe which apparently suits the goddess. Hyuna is proud of herself and how far she has come and this song only builds on it.

      In ‘Ice Ice’, Hyuna and Yuk Ji Dam go head to head and create and explosive addictive beat that would definitely make any head bob to its beat. The song is layered with beat that make it sinfully addictive and they lyrics only add on. This song has enough in it to feature as a music video.

       ‘Get out of my house’ has a haunting melody as the two singers harmonize in the intro of the song. The song then goes on with an over powering music which seems to swallow the vocals at certain points. But aside from that the song has a lot of perks to it; the range of vocals in this duo gives a soothing feel. The song is still easy to follow along with and can easily linger on long after it is gone.

      

        The last song, titled ‘Tranquillity’, is true to its name. The song is slow and soothing with Hyun’s voice adding vibrant colours to it. Hyuna sings and raps and in all is a delight to listen to. The song is a great way to conclude the album.

     

          The music video has a lot of bold and vibrant colours and is supposedly meant to be an upgrade of ‘Red’ which unfortunately didn’t seem so. The music video features Il Hoon who makes an appearance right after the first chorus and stays on till the end. Hyuna does multiple suggestive gestures in the music video- having a bunch of face covered women held by dog chains and holding a whip, to name a few, which seems to contradict with her riding skateboards and posing cutely with Il Hoon. In the midst of portraying Hyuna as strong, independent and fierce the concept might have gone out of hand. Which to me is a major let down, Chingu! I came looking for some hight intense kick you bum like dance moves but ended up seeing her twerk. uh-um!
