This time I would like to talk about an old favorite. I’m
speaking of Kara 카라. There are five members, starting with the
leader Park
(Gyuri) 규리 followed
by Han
(Seungyeon) 승연 , Goo
(Hara) 하라 , Jung Yong Joo ( Nicole 니콜) and last but not least is the maknae Kang (Jiyoung) 지영.
Their new song/video release is called “Orion”
from the album “Electric Boy”. It is uncharacteristic of their previous works.
It has beautiful set designs. The main set looks like an old brick walled factory that
was painted white and converted into a home with Victorian furnishings. It
is very elegant. Even the lady’s
attire is not typical Kara. The ladies look stunning in the conservative feminine
dresses and sweaters for most of the video. There are also some nice bright
gowns in a few of the scenes, keeping with the purity of white in the
background.
The song itself is a beautiful
ballad. It talks about a love that is separated by time and distance. How
little things like a phone conversation, no matter how muffled or even being
cut off can ease the pain of not being together. How we keep abreast of the
others life in whatever way we can. The one thing I didn’t understand is where
she says she cannot tell him of her love for him. Is it culture or a forbidden
love? I think this one will rank amongst my top 20.
Until next time,
festus
