Both are your obligatory, and more importantly uninspired, pop ballads – a phenomenon that, for better or worse, appears on most K-pop albums, old and new. The duds on ‘Horn’ are few, but the prosaic ‘Dream’ and ‘Trip’ stand out for all the wrong reasons in a sea of great. Leave it to hitmaker duo Black Eyed Pilseung (who also worked on Apink’s last three comebacks) to produce a heartbreak anthem as sleek and sharp as this. “I don’t care if I get hurt / It’ll hurt more if I’m no longer in your mind.” The moody lyrics are underlined by a synth that seesaws, but are careful to never overpower the song’s true jewel: Apink’s gentle, forlorn voices. “It’s okay even if the flame died out, oh / It’s okay to pretend that it’s love,” they bargain without care for any reason. It unfolds best through the album’s title track, ‘Dilemma’ – where they vocalise the all-consuming yearning for a lover’s return, despite a one-sided romance. The girl group amplify the sultry, dark synth-pop melodies found on their post-reinvention hits, such as ‘I’m So Sick’, ‘Dumhdurum’ and ‘Eung Eung’. ![]() READ MORE: ‘Forecasting Love And Weather’ review: a heartwarmingly poetic romance in the makingĪbove all, ‘Horn’ is a delicate expansion of Apink’s mature, adult sound as they slip back into their roles as emotionally perceptive lovers.But it’s actually an apt metaphor for their return as six – much like the cornucopia of ancient Greece and Rome ( cornu meaning horn and copia meaning abundance in Latin), this 11-track collection overflows with copious amounts of aphrodisiacal daydreams, lovelorn nightmares and everything else in between. Yet, the girl group seem just as comfortable as they’ve always been on their comeback album, curiously named ‘Horn’. In the two years since ‘Look’, many things have changed for Apink, not the least being Na-eun’s decision to leave Play M Entertainment (now IST Entertainment).
