B.E.G Comeback!

ABRACADABRA!!! The sizzling hot ladies that brought you the sexy wave dance are back!!!!

Brown Eyed Girls or otherwise known as B.E.G have now returned with their latest track 'Sixth Sense.' The girls have adopted a very tough edgy look for this comeback and I must say that it suits the girls very very well indeed. The leather, animal prints and military outfits fit in well with their new concept as it gives the girls a seductive yet powerful vibe to reconquer top music charts. 

The opening to their new song is awesome as it gives that 'Don't mess with me' feeling~ Gain and Narsha start this song with high notes which strikes me as a very bold move indeed cause it shows that these girls dare to give IMPACT to their listeners (something BEG is really good at) even at the very beginning of their song. The cello and orchestra-like music accompanying BEG's title track has drawn it's listeners into imagining a sort of action movie scene taking place and that to me is a super bonus for this track.

While I was listening to this song, the beat itself seems to be alive because it is THAT powerful. Through this song you can feel something developing inside of you either it is hatred, vengeance or even something stronger. I'm not saying that this is a good thing to feel but it just shows how influencing this song really is. 

My only criticism of this comeback would have to come from the song's music video. Yes, some really good songs have not very impressive MVs to balance it out and sadly to say, BEG's Sixth Sense MV is one of them. I have seen haters commenting that the video clip is too sexy for their taste but the sexy part has always been an aspect of BEG. Even back with their other hit singles Sign and Abracadabra, sexiness has often been portrayed and yet their songs are still at the top~ Therefore, I do not find the sexy part of this vid too much but I actually think that it portrays BEG's strength to stand out. 

I am always baffled by how the rappers seem to have the least face time in Kpop vids. Similar to Sixth Sense, rapper Miryo does not get much screen time which is really a shame since she looks FIERCE and hot in this clip. Plus, if you watch the video a couple of times, viewers would realise that there are some scenes that are replayed over and over again such as Narsha's in the middle of the ring of 'cages'? scene. Not that I dislike it being replayed but I personally think that the MV lacks variety in that sense. (Sorry BEG fans)


Now for the fashion aspect~ As mentioned earlier, the leather, animal prints and military outfits go well with the girls. The red jacket GAin can be seen wearing goes very well with her pale white skin and Narsha's black leather skirt with rounded studs looks gladiator-ish suitable for that fighter spirit she is trying to show in this video. Narsha's leopard print shorts also is a highlight for her part as it represents the wild side she portrays in the confined room.  Miryo's brownish red outfit too is very classy and it suits her reddish short hair style. The dress Jea was wearing when she was in the water was not really that flattering to me but the white purplish gleam it gave made Jea stand out in her scenes. Colour choices play a very crucial role when setting up music videos and in BEG's latest one, the colours were made to suit the characters of the girls as well as to mix really well with the gloomy settings. 

 I certainly feel that BEG would conquer top KPop charts again with this comeback. Although it may not have been as big as Abracadabra's but still this new song would go far. Welcome back Brown Eyed Girls and we are glad to see you performing again~ <3
