But, Everglow embrace the madness and make it easy for listeners to do so as well. I’m still not sure I buy the pirate theme as it relates to self-empowerment (do girls really want to be pirates? Does anyone?), and that repeated line is stupidly silly. Pirate is a bizarre little delight, melding together so many of Everglow’s sounds with a boisterous EDM beat reminiscent of older girl groups like T-ara and 2NE1. I’m a staunch advocate for silly weirdness in K-pop, but feared this track would rely too heavily on its cartoonish catchphrase. And listening to previews for new single Pirate, I assumed the song would be all bluster. I mean, you can’t release a track as awesome as La Di Da and never return to that sound! Too often, their title tracks have borrowed some of my least favorite elements from K-pop’s boy groups. At times, Everglow have been a frustrating prospect.
