March 13, 2009 Kara never fails to impressIn my opinion, this mini album captures the new Kara's true essence. Rock U was great, but because of all the similar-sounding tracks, I felt it was lacking. Kara completely makes up for that with Pretty Girl, though. This mini album is filled with a variety of unique tracks with differing genres.
"Pretty Girl" is the title track. Aiming to make girls feel confident about themselves, "Pretty Girl" follows the same path as "U-Go-Girl" by Lee HyoRi. This song is very peppy and energetic. In a sense, it's like a song you would hear at a football game to cheer the team on. "Pretty Girl" is one of the most unique songs I've ever heard; nothing else sounds like it.
"Honey" is the 2nd track Kara promoted. With it's catchy tune, it'll have you chirping "Honey, Honey, Honey" all day. In my opinion, this song really defines the new Kara, showing off the girls' angelic and pure image; a sharp contrast from their confident "Pretty Girl" image. So far this song has pushed Kara up to #1 a total of 3 times so far, making "Honey" Kara's first Number 1 hit.
"Yodele" is the 3rd track on the mini album, composed by E-Tribe, the same group that made SNSD'S biggest hit "Gee." It's strong hip-hop beats make it a dance song with witty lyrics and an addictive "upgrade" of the classic "Yodel" call. This song is my favorite track on the mini album.
The 4th track is "My Darling." This song fits in with Kara's 1st Mini album "Rock U" with it's unique happy, pop sound that has somewhat become Kara's trademark sound.
"I Am" is the ballad of the mini album. This song really showcases the girls' singing abilities and displays how much they have improved vocally. "I Am" starts out slow and peaceful, then builds up to a powerful chorus that Kara sings SO passionately. It feels as if Kara is letting out all their emotions and expressing how they feel now that they're finally at the top.
Overall, this mini album is really great. I would definitely give it a try. If not for the songs, buy it for the gorgeous 30-paged photobooklet of the girls! :)Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)

August 2, 2008 Great mini albumI was sooo excited for KARA's comeback. Even though they lost Sunghee who had a lot of potential when it came to her voice, the two new members definitely make up for it. Rock U is a very upbeat and cheery song, but at first the song may seem messy. Definitely listen to it more than once because it will grow on you. The 4 other songs are equally as catchy. My favorite song is Good Day :)
I just wish they would include a DVD that had the MV and Making of the MV on it <3Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
