YesAsia Editorial Description

K-pop pretty girls Kara launch their second Revolution of 2009! Kara got a big break after releasing their hit 2008 winter mini-album Pretty Girl, and they finally reached #1 for the first time this year with their single Honey. Now in the top tier of Korea's girl groups, Kara are releasing their highly anticipated second full-length album, and they're going for a more mature image and musical style this time. They teamed up again with the makers of Pretty Girl and Honey for their fresh new single Wanna, as well as the euro-pop dance number "Mister" (Track 1). Other new surprises in their 10-track Revolution include sweet mid-tempo dance ballad "Magic" (Track 3), stylish power pop number Let It Go, cool and cheerful dance song Take a Bow, and "Secretly, Secretly" (Track 4) which touches listeners with sad lyrics and a beautiful melody.

2009년 상반기 미니앨범 2집 [Pretty Girl]과 [Honey]로 많은 사랑을 받으며 대한민국을 대표하는 걸그룹으로 자리매감한 KARA(카라)가 2번째 정규 앨범 [Revolution]을 발매한다.

이번 정규앨범의 타이틀 [Revolution]은 음악적인 면과 비쥬얼면에서 많은 변화를 주었다는 의미를 담고 있으며, 앨범 발매에 앞서 공개한 화제의 스틸컷을 통해서도 이들의 변화를 느낄 수 있다.

정규앨범 [Revolution]은 타이틀곡 [Wanna]를 비롯해 총 7곡의 신곡과 보너스트랙까지 10곡이 수록되어 있다. 타이틀곡 [Wanna]는 [Pretty Girl], [Honey] 등을 작업한 한재호,김승수 콤비의 곡으로 삼연속 카라의 히트 넘버에 도전할만한 곡으로, 속도감이 느껴지는 강렬한 비트와 자극적인 신스사운드로 무장된 팝 댄스곡이다. 또한, 화려한 코러스와 긴장감있는 곡 전개가 인상적이며, 성숙함으로 한층 업그레이드 된 멤버들의 보이스가 돋보이는 곡이기도 하다. [미스터] 역시 한재호, 김승수 콤비의 곡으로 강렬한 일렉트로니카 사운드에 기반을 둔 유로 팝 댄스곡이다. 특히나 이 곡은 마지막까지 타이틀 경합을 벌인 곡으로 펑키한 느낌의 그루브가 인상적이며, 자신감 넘치는 카라의 새로운 매력을 보여주고 있다.

카라만의 새로운 느낌을 보여주는 트랜디한 미디움 댄스발라드 곡 [마법]은 보다 감미롭고 성숙해진 맴버들의 목소리가 감상 포인트. 청순하면서도 맑은 카라만의 느낌은 애틋한 가사, 예쁜 멜로디와 어울려 듣는 이로 하여금 그리움의 카타르시스를 느끼게 할 만하며, 화려한 20인조 스트링 연주 또한 드라마틱한 곡의 완성도를 더하고 있다.

이밖에도 슬픈 노랫말과 밝고 상쾌한 멜로디가 공존하는 [몰래몰래], 사랑스러운 가사와 예쁜 멜로디 라인이 조화를 이루며, 다이나믹하고 화려한 편곡이 인상깊은 [AHA], 이전까지 KARA에게 느낄 수 없었던 강하고 세련된 느낌의 팝스타일 곡인 [Let It Go], 경쾌한 쿨 팝 댄스곡인 [Take a Bow]가 수록되어 있으며, 리듬게임 ‘아이뮤지션’의 주제곡으로 제작되어 주목받고 있는 [똑 같은 맘]과 타이틀곡 [Wanna], [마법]의 instrumental까지 수록되어 있다.

Hey Mr. ♡ Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10
The album was OK.

I think the best tracks from this album is the 2 promotional singles 'Mr.' and 'Wanna'. Since everyone here must've already listened to them for like thousands time, I wouldn't say much about 'Mr.' and 'Wanna', but the rest tracks, in my opinion, aren't really outstanding either. I don't think KARA can sing ballads well, and '마법' is an example. '몰래몰래' had nice melody, it was sweet but I don't think KARA can go well without autotuned bubblegum pop songs. 'Let It Go' isn't unique either. To me, even if they try, KARA just can't be cool, can't actually do rock, so the song just sounds awkward. 'Take A Bow' and 'AHA' were just too crazily cutesy *____*. I know it's their concept, but I'd expect more from a full album. '똑 같은 맘' was much better, it was cute but not too much and I can at least feel some brightfulness and energy from the song. So overall, I think this album was OK, but still, only 8 songs and 2 inst for a full album? I was kinda disappointed. And in my opinion, only 2 tracks were really good and they're 'Mr.' and '몰래몰래'.

Anyway, I think they should be more creaitve with the CD packaging. I personally have seen this kind of packaging a lot and I'd hope there'd be something new and they let me down. And I can never agree with KARA's stylists. Otherwise the back theme looks cool, it's pretty fresh and chic. The girls' expressions were less stiff, but overall, they didn't make a great booklet. 

I wasn't totally satisfied, but well, at least the album is exceptable.

KARA U rock Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This CD was well priced and amazing. The first KARA item I have ever bought, after hearing only two songs by them. I have grown to love KARA and am a proud kamilia because of this CD. The song Magic is a really sweet melody(lol if you get this) and very relaxing. Listening to the instrumental of Magic puts me to sleep because it's so nice. Secretly, Secretly reminds me of old KARA a bit but still has that new KARA sound. AHA is a great track because of their soft voices, Let It Go, Take A Bow, and Wanna are awesome dance tracks, and Mister is always a favorite. Same Mind is very fun to sing along to and I love it. Every song on this CD is great and I highly recommend it.

Come on~ Go~ Let it Go !! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Until mini Album "Revolution", Kara didn't caught me... But now, I love them ! This album is one of the best comeback of the year !
This begins with "미스터" and "Wanna", 2 tracks performed by the girls during this last months.. Catchy, addictive, great sound.. Even if I'm not a Kamilia, Kara has made an incredible comeback !
Followings songs are "마법" and "몰래몰래".. Not my favorite songs but they still a pleasure to listen them !
"Let it Go" is one of my favorite songs by Kara ! Fatal, catchy.. As I've intituled my review, I absolutely love this song !! <3
"Take A Bow" is a funky song.. Hum.. don't know why, but this reminds me Wonder Girls..^^
"Aha" is one of my favorite song of Kara too ! The chorus "Ahahahahah Baby Baby Call Me" is irresistible ! You're forced to song with the girls when you listen it !! :D
"똑 같은 맘" is a good surprise too ! Funny and catchy too, chorus is irresistible too !
This mini-album ended with 2 instrumentals, "wanna" and "마법".. Wanna's Intrumental is absolutely LOVE !
Kara's songs are simple and basic, but it's a good result ! Happy to buy my mini-album ! So, buy, buy !
All love for Kara from France !

Kara rev up good glam 80s K-pop Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
No doubt Kara’s “Revolution” as that 80’s melodic synth pop disco feel alongside pleasant modern Korean dance R&B pop sensibilities. “Wanna” is a powerful electro dance song similar to some of B.E.G. and After School songs. Others like “Let It Go” and “Take a Bow” are also very highly techno rhythmic! Very upbeat album this. Certain songs could have kept more to the Wanna-Revolution sound. But like BEG’s “Sound G”, this also slips into generic pop formula. But its good, funky and Kara are a nice bunch of gals (as are BEG et al). I found opener “Mister” a more generic pop ditty. But “Revolution” comes to life with “Wanna”, certainly the ‘hit’ with surging powerful electro beats and bright and groovy melody and vocals. T3 is a slower ballad with sythn drum and bass. Another nice song that flows well but lacks bite somehow. T4 is a modern K-TV drama type song with pleasant vocals and bass-beat electronics. “Let It Go” is the second main thumbs up track reflecting “Revolution”. A bit of Soft Cell’s “Tainted Love”, Wonder Girls/After School. Definitely the complementing track to “Wanna” (its ‘B’ side). “Take a Bow”, “Aha” and T8 finalize with three 80s styled upbeat disco synth bubblegum pop, with very catchy refrains and wonderfully bright and bouncy melodies. Finally, instrumental versions of “Wanna” (which could be a great sci-fi film theme) and T3.

If you have the Revolution Pretty in Pink LE but could pass on this version, I’ll mention that this is a nice chunky booklet digi pack edition, very like GG’s ‘Gee Genie’ latest - plenty of Kara photos. A better Kara image here, too. A revolved and a moderate version of their dazzling primary colors “Pretty Girl” look and far more appropriate. Not too blingy party bubblegum and not too staid and conservative. Kara are meant to be a fun pop outfit though. It’d be nice to hear Kara members write personal lyrics on the next album. Heard about that ghost hand on inkygayo recently. Kara - you should write the “Helping Hand” song or perform a cover of R. Dean Taylor’s “There’s a Ghost in My House”. ^.^ Ghost? Probably some quantum mechanics hiccup! Anyway, a very good upbeat 80s disco-synth pop album here with so much dance its Kara’s ‘move’ album for sure. It caters for song expectations with only some generic and slightly weaker songs to stop “Revolution” from being excellent. “Wanna” and “Let It Go” are techno dance, with the last 3 songs capturing that great 80s spirit of teen bubblegum pop.
