Returning to the KPOP scene earlier in the week is BLANC7. Their latest comeback song is Drama, which is the title track off their latest single album, Take Off. Their last comeback was with Hello back in August 2017, thus making this their first comeback in over a year. While I did miss their first comeback, I did write a review for their debut track, Yeah, last year. But today, we are here for some ‘Drama’, so let’s continue.

Drama is a nice song. While it falls within the electronic music genre, it isn’t as hard-hitting as other tracks, making this a very nice soothing song to listen to. I personally thought the song, as a whole, was very refreshing, feeling almost like a cool breeze on a nice sunny day. I thought the vocals and raps were quite nice, balancing out with the calming atmosphere the song had. The instrumental was nice but I wasn’t too keen on the chirping synth that was present throughout the chorus. I also thought the instrumental was rather linear and I did expect it to pick up somewhere along the way (which it didn’t, for me). My favourite part would have to be the start of the song. It just offers something a little different from an extremely upbeat song that is overloaded with synths.

The start of the video featured one of the members running along with a girl. And then when the song starts, the entirety of the video is simply the choreography scenes and close up shots of the members. So my question is, where is the rest of that storyline? Who is she? What is their story? It just felt so random to put them in with nothing else to the story. Other than that, I thought the rest of the video was pretty much standard, with the members shooting in areas which have been shot at numerous times before.

The choreography felt quite smooth and classy, similar to how the song was presented to us. However, I think some finetuning could have made this performance even better to watch.
