Miss A - Only You (MV Review)

Not Hush, but Still Catchy

          Miss A has had a career of absolutely incredible, industry redefining hits and this is not one of them. With the phenomenal "Hush" having been their last release, the standard they'd set up was impossible to live up to and it's no surprise that "Only You" isn't as good. That is not to say that this release isn't good on it's own merit, because the case is quite the opposite. "Only You" works off a bouncy energy with a unique undercurrent of energy that blends an upbeat smoothe melodic-pop track with a sort of Trap-twist framework, very synthy bright and yet flavored with the grittier edge of digital instrument music (without falling prey to the current standardized fallback of rap/hip-hop). The MV itself is full of gorgeous styling on gorgeous girls and interesting camera tricks that perfectly balance out the audio quirks. I'm a sucker form the pink outfits, the color gives the girls an edge of sweetness while the sharp lines of the actual clothing articles ensures that none of the classical Miss A attitude is lost.
          Over all, I really do like it. Even though it's still not nearly as good as "Hush".
          (Also, the 'screaming man' is a consonance trick. It connects the upbeat pop-push with the trap sections by creating a disruption point that is common to both sections. It begins about 2 seconds before every trap section ends and goes about 3-4 seconds into the pop-sections before your brain can't keep track of it anymore, it's there again in the transition back to trap for about half the time).

I give it a 7/10: Me Gusta.
