If you hadn't gathered by now, the lyrics on a lot of the songs from Pink Tape are fantastic, and Ending Page is no exception to this. So is Pink Tape one of the best K-Pop albums I've yet listened to? It's easily f(x)'s best album, and contains some of the best feminist and female-empowering songs to be found in K-Pop. Pink Tape” through Naver Music. The album was a success both in Korea and the US, peaking at number one on Billboard’s K-pop Hot 100 and World Albums Charts and the Gaon Albums Chart. It was the only Korean album to appear on Fuse’s ’41 Best Albums of 2013′.
F(x) are known to take big musical risks. So much so, that they've pulled away from 'typical' K-pop and developed their own style. Their discography has a wide range of genres and 'Pink Tape', the group's 2nd full album, is no different. 'Pink Tape' is like lollipops and high heels- in other words, it has a balance of frivolousness and maturity. Any listener of f(x)'s music should keep an open mind! Their strange sound makes them barely mainstream or radio-friendly. However, someway,somehow these girls pull it off. My five favorites of this album are:
