Une Annee” finds itself lost between A Pink’s 2011 identity and the 2011 identity of T-ara, one of last year’s top charting girl groups. The equivalence to this particular source of inspiration would be like asking a common man to base an entree around the flavor of a mushroom. They’re not exactly the most inspired ensemble, so for A Pink, a group woven from a very specific thread, to munch off of such a girl group’s current “style” leaves a bitter taste on the tongue. It also brings all the irrelevance that they were so close to dousing themselves with last year down onto themselves in one go.
