After School 2nd Single Album

YesAsia Editorial Description

Despite having debuted for less than a year, girl group After School has left a deep impression with their strong and sexy dance pop image, and their rotating member concept. After adding breakout star UEE as the sixth member earlier in the year, After School is now up to seven for their second single album. Member So Young surprisingly "graduated" from the group in late October and her spot has been filled by two new members, Nana and Raina. The revamped After School starts anew with the hot single "Because of You", a Shibuya-kei lyrical electropop number. Member Kahi participated in the production of When I Fall, a slow-tempo R&B love song.

애프터스쿨 두번째 싱글앨범

01. 너 때문에
02. When I fall
03. Diva
04. 너 때문에 (Inst)

‘AFTER SCHOOL’ 2nd Single
애프터스쿨이 숨겨둔 비밀병기인 ‘레이나’와 ‘나나’을 입학시키고 기존의 걸 그룹의 판도를 바꾼다. 국내 최초로 입학과 졸업이라는 이름으로 멤버의 변화가 자유로운 그룹으로 알려져 화제가 되었던 애프터스쿨에 지난 4월 올해 최고의 핫 키워드 ‘유이’의 뒤를 이을 새로운 신입생의 입학을 알려 새롭게 돌아온다.
신인생으로 알려진 레이나(21)와 나나(19)은 수년 여 간의 트레이닝 기간을 거치며, “탄탄한 기본기”를 갖춘 것을 물론 엉뚱함과 신비로운 이미지를 지닌 개성 강한 신입생들로 플레디스 홈페이지의 티저를 통해 사진을 공개하며 조금씩 베일을 벗고 있으며, 7인조로 변신하고 다양한 모습들을 공개하고 있는 애프터스쿨은 공개 시마다 폭발적인 반응을 불러일으켜 큰 화제가 되고 있다.
이번 새 앨범의 타이틀 “너 때문에”는 시부야 케이 스타일의 서정적인 느낌의 일렉트로 팝. 여기에 기존의 걸 그룹이 선보이지 못했던 파격적인 퍼포먼스가 더해져 애프터스쿨의 카리스마를 돋보이게 하는 ‘최고의 퍼포먼스 걸그룹’의 면모를 유감없이 발휘한다. 또한 피아노와 바이올린 선율로 시작되는 애절한 느낌의 도입부와 중독성 있는 후렴구, 애프터스쿨 멤버들의 개성강한 랩이 조화롭게 아우러져 곡을 더욱 빛나게 해주고 있다.
‘When I fall’은 애프터스쿨의 멤버 ‘가희’가 직접 작사에 참여한 투명하고 서정적인 멜로디의 곡으로 음악적 요소와 대중적인 요소가 동시에 잘 갖추어진 슬로우 R&B곡이다. 혼자서 사랑을 시작하는 여자의 간절한 마음을 노래한 가사는 숨겨져 있던 애프터스쿨의 매력적인 음색과 신입생 ‘레이나’의 애절한 보이스를 통해 더욱 가슴에 와 닿게 하여 기존의 곡들에서는 느낄 수 없었던 애프터스쿨의 새로운 매력을 발견할 수 있다.

A Great Single Album! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I like all the songs in this album. First song, "Because of you" is a very powerful song. You can really feel the song upon hearing it. Second song,"When I Fall" is my favorite song in this album. It is a very lovely song. You will love it more when you see them singing this song.Third song,"Diva" is a dance song. It is more likely like SNSD-Oh! song. Overall, this was a great single album.

AF change for the new skool Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
Neo Ddaemunae is another bite sized mini album (3 new ones + an inst.) similar to AF’s debut and although certainly a good second, it’s few songs cannot give full credence to After School Power yet, until a meister collektive is released. But K-pop lovers of dance and melody should love AF’s collection here. Song wise, “Because of You” is a catchy dance electronic with elements of BEG/2NE1 in the sound, but certainly another contender for the K-pop energy unit. The second song “When I Fall” features an acoustic guitar sound and moderate R&B ballad melody. Nice catchy refrain makes this a worthwhile song, which grows on you each listen (its good to keep up the contrasting ballad format, especially melodic ones like this). “Diva” soon brings back the synthetic computer beats, though, with its catchy dance pop. I can well imagine K-pop fans catching on to this songs “Diva, diva” refrain (little thought here, will AF mature and get called “After College” and “After Work”?). Finally, an instrumental version of T1. Packaging is a fold out cover with chunky attached photo booklet loaded with AF pics in their new attires and an insert showing the new girl members in punky school kit similar to the skool club design of AF’s debut CD. The new photo session, though, show the girls in a more moderate white look with some Swiss, power dance and mature cute looks. Obviously the girls won some cuddly teddies on a Korean game show, too, by the looks of it.

AF have gone through changes since their debut with So-young ‘graduating’ and new members Nana and Raina entering the ranks; this being the Morning Museme way! It’s a shame Soo-young had to leave and this changing ranks thing will be frustrating for many, but K-pop girl-guy members will sporadically have line-up changes now and then. Singers become good actors for instance like Eugene of S.E.S. or write songs and go solo (Shinhwa) or ‘move on’ for various reasons, but new blood for an existing group really helps keep their ‘flame’ alive (initial members could return or defunct bands reform). It’s hard keep 7 to 9 members perpetually in their groups, especially when touring. But AF’s new line-up is a good way to alleviate the sadness of inevitable changes and like Japanese girl group Morning Museme, are still forthcoming as singers/dancers. Plus So-young leaving the band could return in something even more special. Love, for whatever good reason for change is the motto!

Awesome! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I first got into After School after listening to their track 'Diva'.
It's a highly addictive and fast-faced song, making you want to dance to it!
Their title song, 'Because of You', has gained many positive feedbacks and has topped many charts.
'When I Fall' is a slow paced song, which showcases the members' vocals and I love it! The melody is very soothing.

ALL 3 songs are GREAT. I recommend to ANYONE even if you're not familiar with After School!
