YesAsia Editorial Description

Cube Entertainment's hot new girl group 4Minute releases their debut mini-album! Formed by leader Ji Hyun, Ga Yoon, Ji Yoon, So Hyun, and former Wonder Girls member Hyun A, 4Minute made a splash in June with their hit debut single Hot Issue. Now they're raising temperatures further with their first album For Muzik. Big-name producers and songwriters like Lee Sang Ho, Kim Dong Hoon, Hwang Sung Jin, and Shinsadong Tiger helped create For Muzik's seven sizzling tracks, giving 4Minute's album a fresh and vibrant edge in the midst of K-pop's competitive girl group boom. Composed by Lee Sang Ho, 4Minute's red-hot new single MUZIK is a euroclub street sound dance track that makes use of analog, side-chain, and tape sound. Hot Issue producer Shinsadong Tiger composed "Won't Give" (Track 6), a clean and groovy slow-tempo piece with lyrics by Hwang Sung Jin. For Muzik also comes with the colorful fusion house number "Funny" (Track 5) and a remix version of Hot Issue.

모두의 “Hotissue”가 되어버린 다섯 소녀들의 두 번째 반란이 시작된다.
미니앨범을 가지고 찾아온 4MINUTE은 긴 시간 기다려온 팬들을 위해 4MINUTE이 전하는 그들의 음악에 강렬한 열정을 담았다.

인상적인 가사와 카리스마 넘치는 사운드로 만들어진 INTRO “FOR MUZIK”으로 시작되는 미니앨범은 타이틀곡 “MUZIK”을 포함한 총 7트랙의 곡들로 구성되었고, 4MINUTE의 음악적 열정과 달콤하기 만한 아이돌 그룹의 음악들과 달리 성숙한 아티스트로서의 면모를 과감히 보여주는 곡들로 알차게 담겨있다. 국내 최고의 프로듀서들이 참여한 4MINUTE의 미니앨범은 신사동호랭이, 이상호 ,김도훈, 황성진 등이 참여하였으며, 신선한 음악적 시도를 통해 완성도를 더했다.

타이틀곡 “MUZIK”은 작곡가 이상호와 신사동호랭이의 작품으로 유럽의 클럽에서 유행하고 있는 Street Sound에 쉽고 간결한 멜로디의 구성이 돋보이는 곡이다. Track making 초기부터 유럽의 DJ, Producer들과의 활발한 음악적 교류를 통해 국내가요에서 찾아 볼 수 없는 'TAPE' SOUND와 'SIDE CHAIN'기법이 사용되었으며, 아날로그적인 소스와 간결한 편곡이 조화를 이루었다. 포미닛 멤버의 각 목소리를 신디사이징시켜 마치 악기와 같은 효과를 내어 독특한 분위기를 연출하였고, 일상생활에서 느끼는 지루한 갈증을 포미닛의 음악으로 풀어준다는 내용의 가사에 신선하고 매끈한 사운드가 어울려 더욱더 빛을 발했다.

'what a girl wants' 는 제목이 곡의 내용을 말해주듯이 남자들이 모르는 여자들의 작은 바램들을 표현한 곡으로써 밝은 멜로디에 과거 유행하였던 808sound를 활용하여 현재와 과거의 신선한 접목을 시도하였다. 멤버 지윤의 스타일리쉬한 랩을 접할 수 있고 가윤의 호소력 짙은 가창력이 돋보이는 곡이다.

“웃겨”는 한국 최고의 작곡가 김도훈의 곡으로 최근 유행하고 있는 하우스 비트에 셔플이 결합된 하이브리드 하우스곡으로써 묵직한 베이스와 짜임새있는 멜로디 구성이 돋보이며, 꽉 찬 코러스와 재미있는 가사가 어울려 기존 포미닛의 색깔이 아닌 전혀 다른 스타일의 곡이다. 귓가에 맴도는 후렴구가 인상적이고 자신감 넘치는 여성을 표현하였다.

”안 줄래” 는 작곡가 신사동호랭이와 작사가 황성진의 작품으로 SLOW TEMPO의 GROOVE한 감성이 돋보이는 곡으로 트렌디한 멜로디 구성과 직설적인 가사내용이 인상적인 곡이다. 깔끔한 사운드와 다양한 구성이 곡의 분위기를 한층 고조시키는 곡이다.

Recommended for those who like 2NE1 and f(x)<3 Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10

Well Cube sure does love to have their artist start their albums with an intro.
"For Muzik" is a lengthy intro yet sizzling and a great way to both entice and start the album, I prefer to listen to it before going on to the other tracks. Heo Ga Yoon (vocals) and Jeon Ji Yoon (lead rapper) really shine in this track; although it is a bit over digitalized. 11/10

“MUZIK” It’s super catchy and is paired with a really interesting instrumental. Despite being a pop song; this actually has really awesome lyrics, they’re perfect for any music lover out there. The chorus is infectious and will probably get stuck in your head right away. HyunA’s rap break towards the end is top notch as always. 10/10

“Hot Issue” Just as the first track yet emitting more strength but will get more annoying than “MUZIK”. The first time I heard this song I wasn’t crazy about it due to what I believed to be a serious over use of digital effects. But it eventually grew on me 9/10

"What a girl wants" was my favorite track, unlike the first three it’s a Pop R&B fused kind of song. The low use of auto-tune, rapping and blaring instrumentals was able to capture their vocals yet maintaining their usual tude’ and has earned it way as being one of 4minutes best songs. 10/10

"Funny" was truly a unique song and non 4minute-ish. SERIOUSLY sounds like something that T-ara would sing. It's like a detective…. Scooby doo movie type of track; different to their other songs. It’s not something that you would put on deliberately but wouldn’t mind giving it listen if it popped up. 8/10

"Won't Give You" is an R&B-ish track that works to show off 4mintes vocals. It plays to their strengths (rapping and great chorus tunes) and has a catchy chorus. I think it would have made a great promotional track. The song has a sweet sound with 4minutes usual “In Your Face” attitude. 9/10

"Hot Issue Remix" ruined the ending. I would prefer an out intro rather than a ruined version of the original track. It has a replaced beat and sounds less in your face and the former power it once produced is gone. 6/10

Overall this album is just Amazing!! It’s a real dance pop, electro pop, hard hitting and strong beats kinds of album. Half dedicated to dancing and hair swinging and the other to just staying chill and intermediate vocal strength. 9.1/10
