BP Rania 4th Mini Album / 6th Single 'Start A Fire Tracklists:

1. Start A Fire
2. Make Me Ah
3. Killer (Remix Ver.)
4. Start A Fire (English Ver.)

My thoughts about it:

I'm so happy that they made a comeback even after 3 of the original members of Rania which is Di, Xia and T-ae left the group. Also, I'm also not expected that Yina (formerly as Saem) came back to the group after she left the group back in 2014. Anyway, back to the song, this song is fine although the line distribution between the members are slightly more to Zi.U and Hyeme. I mean, where is Yumin's line in this song? As for Alex. her rap never disappoint the fans although some part of her rap line are censored (??). When I read that part, its not really that sexual or what but I don't even know. The only thing most Kpop fans want to know is: "Can Alex speak Korean?"....In this song, Alex's rap part are fully in english. But, I know that Alex is still learning Korean so lets hope that she can rap in Korean.

Music Video:

This music video is pretty unfair...Once again, this MV have all the girls dancing without Alex and Alex only appear during the beginning and her rap part which made Kpop fans disappointed with DR Music as they think the company treated Alex badly. Also, this MV has so many Zi.U and Hyeme close up shots and I was like "What about the other girls?"

Overall:

This song is okay but the line distribution need to be more fair. Their other song 'Make Me Ah' is slightly better than 'Start A Fire'...But I'm really happy the made a comeback.

Hey guys, I'M BACK!!!....while I was on hiatus, there's a lot of Kpop comeback and debuts so get ready for more review about it....and for Anime Review, I decided to update it tomorrow because although I'm back from hiatus but....I'm a little bit lazy right now (don't kill me)...But don't worry, I'll make sure it will finished tomorrow. Anyway, that's for today Kpop review. Don't forget to favorite, share and comment your thoughts about and I will see you guys tomorrow for the next Kpop Review and Anime reviews thats still on hold. Seeya!
