It's been a year since f(x) released their last song, "Electric Shock" so everyone was getting pretty antsy about their comeback. We should probably keep in mind that "Electric Shock" was released last summer and "Hot Summer" was released in the summer of 2011, which makes it obvious what comeback schedule SM has for them. Yeah, I just realized that too, so go figure.
f(x)'s new album will be called "Pink Tape" and SM has decided to go with an indie art house feel for their teasers this time. I am so in love with everything about it. Take a look at their first teaser, which was released on July 16th:
How very French existential film of them. What I love about f(x) is that, since they're considered a girl version of SHINee, they get to be more left of center or more "indie" if you want to call it that. To me they bring to mind a hipster female SHINee, which means that they tend to dress and sound more interesting than most other girl groups. They get to be experimental and out there and I'm all for that.
I'm pretty sure that SM's art directors love when f(x) makes a comeback, because they get to try out all their more off the wall ideas and no one bats an eyelash, whereas if SNSD did this, people would freak out (like they did for "I Got A Boy"). That's ok, girls. Leave all the edgy stuff for f(x), we (and they) don't mind.
Image teasers have been coming out left and right since the 16th, and today it was announced that their first single will be called, "Rum Pum Pum". The actual Korean title is "First Wisdom Tooth". Who knows why they felt the need to change it for English speakers, but we'll go with it. I like "Rum Pum Pum" a lot more, don't you?
f(x) will have their first comeback stage on July 25th at M! Countdown.
Teaser pics featuring mostly Krystal with EXO's Kai were also released, which could very well mean he'll be in their mv.
Physical and digital copies of their second full album, "Pink Tape", will be released to the public on July 29th. Stay tuned for a Video of the Day: Rum Pum Pum review post with screencaps after the video is released!
Are you excited for f(x)'s comeback? What do you think of their teasers?
On the 22nd f(x) revealed its ‘Rum Pum Pum Pum’ music video teaser through its official website, YouTube channel, and Facebook, giving fans a hint of what they will be showing with the next album.
In the 2-minute-long teaser video, which is a little longer than other usual MV teasers, each member shows off pretty face and retro styles. The song is more romantic and soft than what f(x) has sung.
Meanwhile, f(x) will showcase its title track ‘Rum Pum Pum Pum’ on the 25th on ‘Mnet M Countdown’ stage, and its second official album ‘Pink Tape’ will be released on the 29th.
