Cleansing Cream – Brown Eyed Girls

Song

Wow this is a very strong ballad. Now I like listening to ballads, and this one is the best so far. The first second into this and I was totally blown away. The song is very strong. Without knowing the translation I could tell this song was very strong. The vocals in this song is very dominant (something very good) as I find many ladies lacking in vocals for some ballads. Miryo’s rap in this add an extra uniqueness and reflected the other singers. I feel bad that I don’t mention Ga-in, Jea and Narsha’s names. They ware too good to be mention (Another good thing).

Music Video

Same thoughts on the music video as the song. This has to be a daebak song. The members did not act in the song and left actors and actresses do their thing and I have to say they were awesome. To be honest, this is my first time watching the music video as a whole. (I have watched bits and pieces). I was misinformed with the acting. The concept was very haunting and creepy which matched with the songs beat and tune.

[UPDATE] Okay I finally figured out the music video. With further analysis of the music video and the interpretation of the music video by the YouTube viewers, The music video is about a family: a successful business man, a paranoid & OCD sufferer, and a blind girl. The blind girl is the ladies sister who happened to be blind. Now the husband is really rich but is in his own world. The lady notices that the sister is nmaking her move on the husband so she keeps an “extra eye” on them. One day the sister comes in with a very unappealing face, which she used make-up for. Since she is blind she could not see that she looked hideous but the lady could. In the end, the lady is driven insane and tries to wash the make- up off. She does not succeed and finally realizes that what she has done can not be rubbed off her face. Not even “Cleansing Cream” can erase it.

Live Performance

There is no dance to this. If there were a dance to this song, I would say it would ruin the song. Funeral clothes which they wore on today’s M Countdown performance matched the song very well. Oh and the make-up & tears. Definitely don’t forget about the tears.

And The Rating?

10/10. Do I have to say anything else. Even though the little girl confused me a bit, I have to say. Good song, Great Music Video, awesome Brown Eyed Girls.
