Review
Released earlier in 2013, 9 Muses’ Wild shares the same title as the single that came before its release. The title track is a full catchy, danceable K-Pop swagger that hammers you instantly. This is emphasized by a video, which exudes plenty of sexitude and a hell of a lot of eye candy.
The subsequent tracks tend to follow the mood set by the lead track rather closely to varying degrees. Action is pretty much a continuation of Wild in a sense. The same kind of dance-pop with a catchy hook and all. It’s not as captivating as the title track, unfortunately. It is what it is.
I found the latter half of this EP to be more interesting, especially the R&B-styled Living Person. It brings the sexy, but in a less intense manner than the first half. Too bad there’s not a hot video for this song, not that it necessarily needs it, but it would have been nice. It would have been cool if there were more songs like this instead of the usual K-Pop song and dance.
For what it is, Wild is a decent listen, but I don’t think it’s something one would call memorable outside of the title track and its video. If this hits a discount price, it’s not a bad pickup; otherwise, proceed cautiously.
