Fearless : Black petrol

""Fearless" is not fearless enough: Chic and fashionable, the six-member group can so far be summarised as a walking luxury perfume ad. The glossy, commercialised sheen of their teaser videos and music style is so unmistakable that it seems almost intentional - but only almost. While this style sets them apart from their contemporaries, it is also hard to tell whether the way these girls have been so enthusiastically commodified is meant to be ironic - a question mark that leaves their audience just a little at unease ... As it is, the EP's wide reach across genres lessens its impact with each and leaves the album overall feeling a little bit scattered and hesitant. That said, they do still achieve their overall aim of demonstrating strength, thanks in large part to the heavy use of bass in the album".
