Although I'm not entirely convinced that Chocolat's 하루만 더 (One More Day in English) can be considered as NEW MUSIC as it was featured on their recent mini album I Like It, the fact that it's music video debuted today means that I'm consdering it somewhat new.

Definately one of the highlight's on their mini album, 하루만 더 shows a different side to the 4 member girl group. Whereas they've previously promoted pop-dance songs - I Like It and Syndrome - 하루만 더 has more of an urban edge. It's still very danceable (as demonstrated by the girls in their music video) but with it's R&B elements, we get to not only see the Chocolat's impressive dancing skills but also hear their pretty strong vocals.

The verses are very easy-breezy but for a light-R&B song, the chorus is quite punchy and anthemic. I think what has made me appreciate this song more is their music video. Although it was clearly made on a low budget, it's still very impressive! Chocolat look sensational (despite their young age...), the chair routine is fantastic and the kidnapping plot was well executed. Little touches such as the paper bag on the cheating boyfriend's head and the retro Chocolat camper van make the video - which could've ended up completely generic - rather unique and quirky.

Although they didn't experience an explosion of success in 2011, I have no doubt that if Chocolat continues to work hard and producing different, upbeat pop songs, they'll have no problem succeeding in 2012.
