[MV] ORANGE CARAMEL(오렌지캬라멜) _ Abing abing(아빙아빙) Review

I have nothing but praise for Orange Caramel's single Catalina and I really like the direction the group went. People turned their heads toward OC when Lipstick came out and I think many people wondered what they were going to do afterwards. Orange Caramel went a totally different way than what many probably expected but I think it will gain them a broader fan base. Catalina has a Middle eastern style that will gain them some more fans there. OC has a look that is lolita and J-poppish which will pull fans from there as well. The three minutes and thirty second commercial for Baskin Robbins which is what Abing abing is a commercial for Baskin Robbins is fun and cute and upbeat and OC teaches us a lesson that Pop music needs to learn.

Music

 Is there anything so special or creative here? not really. Is it fun and danceable? Yes it is. Imagine Hyuna's Ice cream and combine it with Crayon Pop's Bar Bar Bar . Then you have Abing abing it is like that. The song is  good as anything that is played on K-pop charts and it is music for Baskin Robbins. It does not matter it gets me moving. That is the point with Pop music it should make you feel good. The song does make you happy and I can see bobbing my head back and forth to the beat. Good job you made me want to hear this song again and right now as I write this blog the song is running through my mind. The song starts out with a far away eq effect and Phase and then comes into a beautiful keyboard saw effect melody typical in most dance songs and it works because we want to dance to the song. There is a great chorus where we hear the young ladies vocals combine in a great back up effect. The vocals seem like they play off each other for instance we hear in the first verse the girls actually communicating with another girl which opens our ears to stay connected to the song. It is kind of what Crayon Pop did with Bar bar Bar. The slow down bridge is beautiful with the girls singing and it does not feel like they are competing for time in the song. It feels like they are singing with each other like an old Pet Shop Boys song and this is a club song so it works.

Video

Okay is this a commercial does it want me to eat Ice Cream? Yes it does. Okay let me talk about this introduction was OC teasing us? I think they are. They actually start out like they are 4minute with this sizzling almost sexy feel . YOu are thinking okay they have gone the sexy way of Hyuna or many other girl groups but boom!  We see this water drop transition effect and we see an ease out camera effect of them in lawn chairs wearing probably the only way I can describe the cutest summer Lolita outfits you can Imagine. The faces of the girls remind me of Crayon Pop type facial expressions they look like they are having fun as they sing to you. Okay so we back up and see a green screen effect very cheaply done but bright as the outfits. We get the connection here and the message. Hey K-pop fans here is a song for you to make a video about and Imitate the dance so expect tutorials out soon. The dance looks fun and it is not complicated and I think that is the idea. OC does not just appeal to younger girls but also to older girls as well .There is also something so Japanese about this that I see they look like they are kidnapping J-pop fans maybe with their looks of course not really kidnapping them. I would not complain if they Kidnap me as long as they feed me ice cream. I like the freezer look and dry ice effect It could be digital but it looks real. I cannot say much else all I can say is take a lesson Pop Music . This is how you do it. I hope they sell a lot of Baskin Robbins.

 Orange Caramel Lands Their First Advertisement Contract

Lyrics

 Okay this is a commercial and it is a fun pop song how much analysing do you need?

It is so hot today

 You're Running late today

It feels like a sauna

 Do you wanna have a fight

I'm Sweating

 It's so hot I,m Exhausted

 OC lets us know it is freaking hot outside, 

Oh very very Strawberry

 Fly your Stress away

Fly Summer Heat away with Vanilla bing-soo

Go Run to Baskin Robbins

Can't Bear the coolness

 We must all go to baskin Robbins I am totally there what about you? Okay not the most Inventive lyric creation ever but wait til you get to the the 2nd verse.

 My mom must be an alien (WHAT?)

She Never gets Hot (She Does)

 What's her secret? Is it Abing?

Maybe She eats it behind my back

  I think this is cleverly written because it is kind of funny.They are talking about a mother eating Ice cream behind their back. I think also it pictures OC as kids in another world and I think Older teenage girls get it especially when Mom gets onto them for eating too much. We have all been there. I really like how that is written and you can use your imaginations. If you look at the rest of the song we are simply told to go to Baskin Robbins.

                                                          It’s so hot today

You’re running late today
It feels like a sauna
Do you wanna have a fight?
I’m sweating
It’s so hot I’m exhausted

Oh very very strawberry
Fly your stress away
Fly summer heat away with vanilla bing-soo
Go run to Baskin Robbins
Can’t bear the coolness

Crunchy crunchy cool Abing Abing
Dry dry hot summer Abing Abing
Hand in hand, holding spoons

Thir-thir-thiry one Abing Abing
You’ll fall in love (fall in love)
Fall in love ah ah ah

You’ll fall for Ice cream bing-soo

Actually (what?)
My mom must be an alien (what?)
She never gets hot (she does?)
What’s her secret? Is it Abing?
Maybe she eats it behind my back

I worry about it everyday
Shall I eat cookies & cream bing-soo?
I’m so wishy-washy
I keep thinking about it
Go run to Baskin Robbins
Can’t bear the coolness

Crunchy crunchy cool Abing Abing
Dry dry hot summer Abing Abing
Hand in hand, holding spoons

Thir-thir-thiry one Abing Abing
You’ll fall in love (fall in love)
Fall in love ah ah ah

You’ll fall for Ice cream bing-soo

Did it just fade away like a dream?
It was such a beautiful time

It will make you fall in love
Crunchy crunchy cool Abing Abing
Dry dry hot summer Abing Abing
Hand in hand, holding spoons

Thir-thir-thiry one Abing Abing
 You’ll fall in love (fall in love)
Fall in love ah ah ah

I can see the bottom
My hands are getting busy
Melt it away Abing Abing
