CLC is back with their 6th EP because they are signed to CUBE and they don't believe in full length albums. But regardless one of my favorite Girl Groups is back with some new tracks.
The album starts with the title track "Where Are You". The song is tuned down from their previous single "Hobgoblin" and is softer. It has an 80's R&B flavor that I love about it. The song itself is just really good. they were able to pull off a softer title track compared to the past that's a great listen and probably the best on the album. Next we have "Bae" which is easily explainable. The girls singing here was cool but the beat is a little weird to me. Its a tad bit reggae yet trap inspired yet its pop all at the same time. I love the song because the beat does a lot but its good and the singing plus the raping was point here but you can't pin down CLC's style here. I like the song but its obviously pandering to the Caribbean and Trap craze plaguing the music industry right now.
"I Like It" is the third track and this sounds like it should have been on "CRYSTYLE". It starts off cool but erupts into a collage of sound that just doesn't sound well. This song feels like a mash up. I don't hate the song, it may grow on me later, but as of now its an ear sore. I truly feel like the producer was working on a DJ set and just decided to hand this in because he was tired and didn't feel like making a good beat. the rest of the album is pretty cool but I would have liked it if CLC kept that same spunk they had on their last album. I fear that besides a couple of songs from this, everything else from this project will be forgotten. Its almost as if every time CLC has something good going for them, they go the opposite direction with the next release.
This isn't a bad album. I like it a lot but I don't love it like some of their other albums. Maybe the album needs to grow on me but it just wasn't that amazing compared to their other works. The ending song "Hold Your Hand" is a beautiful way to end the album and maybe their best ballad yet so this album will always have that. I rate this a 3/5.
