The first track on the album "흐트러지지 마 (Don't Fall Apart)," gave me a glimmer of hope that the rapper HyunA I have longed for since 4minute's, "Superstar," had returned after getting lost in a wave hyper sexual promotions.

Sadly, that was as far as it went, and as I got further into the albums the songs began to sound less and less like HyunA was actually singing them.

After watching the teaser for "Ice Cream", as I am sure everyone else was, I was braced to be bombarded with another collection of highly uncomfortable "sexy" scenes that Cube was trying to pass off as a music video. To my surprise, "Ice Cream" was not at all that bad, and I actually liked it, minus the intro scene featuring international sensation Psy. Let me just say that scene was disturbing, awkward, and dare I say a little bit gross, and came off as an attempt by Cube to ride coat tails. I have to say though, I didn't find "Ice Cream" to be over sexed, I could have done without the bubble bath scene, but for the most part she was fully clothed, and there weren't too many excessive dance moves.

After "풋사과 (Unripe Apple)" the album enters the twilight zone. The last two song, "내 남자친구에게 (To My Boyfriend)" and "Very Hot," have parts where I have to question if Hyun Ah is even the one singing/rapping. In "Very Hot" the rap beginning at 1:32 doesn't even sound like HyunA's voice at all, and I refuse to believe it's her.

As a whole, I really don't care for this album, and it was forgettable for me. However, HyunA did provide us with another catchy summer time hit (even though it was released in the fall).
