Crayon Pop Albums Ranked

Crayon Pop is a South Korean girl group formed under Chrome Entertainment in 2012. The group consisted of four members: Geummi, Ellin, Choa, and Way. Their fifth member, Soyul, left the group in 2017. On 19 April 2017, the group announced their contracts with Chrome Media had ended in March and they had gone their separate ways, although they would not be officially disbanding. Crayon Pop officially debuted in July 2012 with their performance of “Saturday Night” on Mnet’s M! Countdown. Their first EP was not a commercial success, and when their song “Dancing Queen” was released in October, the group had few opportunities to promote on music shows. Instead they held guerrilla performances on the streets of Seoul, which helped increase their fanbase. Crayon Pop gained a huge increase in popularity following the release of their single album “Bar Bar Bar” in June 2013. On 30 May, it was revealed that Way, Choa, Geummi and Ellin would continue to promote as Crayon Pop-under Chrome Entertainment, but Soyul had chosen to leave the group. Here are all of Crayon Pop albums ranked.

6. FM

“Crayon Pop always were totally unpredictable and had an enormous sense for musical adventures. These are two of the main points that make them a notable Girl-Group in K-Pop. FM was yet another pleasantly surprising release. Crayon Pop went full Electropop and instead of delivering a cheerful tune, they sound remarkably low-key, if not almost melancholic and strangely anti-heroic compared to how we knew them before. And: It suits them totally fine”

5. Dancing Queen

“Let me make one thing very clear: This is no Abba-cover. Still one might hear a remarkable influence of Disco on Crayon Pop‘s third amazing song-release Dancing Queen. It stunningly displays the perfection in vocal-delivery, songwriting and production they stand for. A perfection that has nothing to do with sounding sterile, heartless or static. It’s true perfection which results in mind blowing, heart affirming songs. Still it did not gain the well-deserved attention and success it should have. “

4. The Streets Go Disco

“If you listen to only one Crayon Pop release, you might not be wrong picking the marvelous The Streets Go Disco. It not only features some of their greatest songs, it also nicely displays how versatile a group they were. Opener Bar Bar Bar is CP’s big hit and if you listen carefully you will realize how these adventure-loving girls smuggled a slight harmony shift into the chorus of Version 2.0. Following Dancing Queen (No, not Abba) might be considered as the unofficial title-track: A driving, catchy, funky Disco-song.”

3. 1st Mini Album

“Opener Bing Bing is a very likeable tune and gives a good impression of what rather mildly-loved Crayon Pop are about/capable of. In my mind they are an underrated group whose music is far from being generic, depersonalized or soulless. As such faceless K-Pop girl-groups* are around too many anyway, I can’t and won’t deny having a soft-spot for Choa, Ellin, Geummi, Soyul and Way. Saturday Night is the killer-song here and a fine example of how to combine 1980s Dance-Pop with contemporary Electropop.”

2. Evolution Pop_Vol.1

“The album-title seemed to promise so much more to come. Sadly Evolution Pop_Vol.1 marks the virtual end of Crayon Pop. Contracts with their agency Chrome had expired and even if they didn’t officially disband, it’s more than unlikely to ever see them coming back. Considering what a massive release this album is, it fits well as farewell though. Starting with featured single Vroom Vroom the path is set straight instantly: CP stands for quirky, charming, catchy Pop, routed in their own, unique takes on Synthpop, Electropop, Dance and Funk.”

1. Crayon Pop

“After having released two Japanese-singles with ラリルレ and Dancing All Night it was only fitting to release a full Japanese-album. The newly recorded We are Pirates! justifies the existence of this album alone. While the re-recordings of Bing Bing, Saturday Night, Dancing Queen and 어이 (Uh-ee) stand up to the original Korean-recordings, 1.2.3.4 even slightly improves on that. It simply sounds even more heartbreakingly beautiful than it does on the original version.”
