[News] 12.02.28. KARA’s new song is a bitter & sweet double A-side single

 


Korean girl group’s KARA’s 1st single of the year “Speed Up/Girls Power” will be released on 3/21. Their 1st double A-side single’s concept is “bitter or sweet” and shows 2 sides, cool & cute.

“Speed Up” was written by the same team as Korean 5-member male group BigBang’s “Gara Gara Go!!” (released July 2009) and is an up-tempo electro tune with vocal effects. The music video, which took 30 hours to film, has the 5 girls dressed in black and provocatively showing off their sex appeal against the backdrop of a huge set made to look like New York at night.

On the other hand, “Girls Power” is a mid-tempo sweet tune from the Korean songwriter who wrote their biggest hit single “Go Go Summer!” (released last June, sold 231,000 copies). The MV, filmed in a set made to convey the arrival of spring, includes miniature animals and colorful flowers and captures the cuteness of the 5 girls dressed in white.

The 1st press version A includes a DVD of the “Speed Up” MV and off shot, while version B’s DVD includes the “Girls Power” MV and off shot. Version C contains the bonus track “STEP.” Teasers for both songs have been revealed through Universal Music’s official channel on YouTube.

After the release of this single, KARA is planning to hold a Japan tour, which will kick off on 4/14 and 4/15 at Yokohama Arena and include 10 concerts in 5 locations.
