‘Black Dress’: CLC Snip & Strip Their Way to Greatness

CLC are dressed to impress in their freakum dresses.

CLC just did what they did, and showed the girls what they should have did.

Almost exactly one year after busting out their bats with the bratty, HyunA co-penned electro-trap slammer “Hobgoblin,” and at least a comeback or two later, the seven member troupe is here to take it to the next level in 2018 – with a dark and sexy concept this time around, thank God. (Take a seat, schoolgirls.)

“Black Dress” is CLC’s latest banger – the title track from a mini-album released on Thursday (February 22) – dedicated to their freakum dresses, and it really ticks all the boxes for an instantly certifiable Bop© from the get-go.

That, and it comes equipped with a music video that alternates between fierce-as-fuck choreography to match the nasty slut-drop friendly beats, Red Velvet‘s freaky fixation on sharp objects and casual suggestions of harm (see: “Russian Roulette” and “Peek-A-Boo”), dramatic hair transformations – why snatch a wig when you can snip it? – and a pole dancing sequence that makes Katy Perry‘s “Bon Appetit” strip tease look…well, anyway.

But, one thing: are they actually…not wearing black dresses in the video for their song about a black dress? Either a glaring oversight, or all the more genius. You decide.

Without jumping to any drastic conclusions: this is surely an early contender for one of the better releases from a girl group this year, and easily one of the best girl group odes to a dress since the Sugababes‘ “Red Dress.”

“Black Dress” was released on February 22.
