Finally

Semestrial reminder that Korea has better to offer than Kpop. Trot the new Pop, give it a click, it can change your life.

I blame Teddy for the rap

Good title tho bsides too

2am

Finally getting around to seeing what Aespa has to offer. Remember not being very impressed Black Mamba when it first dropped. Forever was cool but ballads are generally easier to pull off.

Listened to Savage first and wasn't really feeling it. I liked that it wasn't 100% typical girl crush but it still isn't for me.

Next Level is great on the other hand. No complaints about this one. Breath of fresh air.

Gonna listen to the rest of the Savage EP later and see what the b-sides have to offer.

Great potential, keep an eye out for their debut on the 10th..

She is so

Billlie debut! teasers threw me off sm 😭

Scientist soon

How'd I miss this

I'll bet on January/February to ride the hypewave from the series.

Absolutely fascinated by Billlie's debut, they are definitely building something new out of things we're already familiar with.

They were able to properly communicate this feeling of ultimate despair and agitation mixed with ethereal elements that we can see in dreamy concepts.

The contrast between the magical/dreamy universe and the dreadful EDMish 'Ring x Ring' title track makes up for a fascinating combo. The short film trailers were amazing, the magical cinematics in the MV works perfectly with the feeling of despair that the title track conveys, they managed to offer a never-seen-before contrast, giving this debut a captivating sense of distressing-sinister-soft-fairy-panic sentiment. The Billlie visual universe so far is, on its surface, comparable to the Gfriend's Sunrise comeback universe, but the music is its complete opposite, which is perfect and surprisingly works really well.

They have something unique, the producer and CEO of Mystic Story has the perfect vision for this group, the stylist for the cinematics, Choi Hyelyun, did an excellent job, but the one who is working on the stage outfits is going against that vision by turning the whole thing in a purely itzy-like all-over-the-place flashy concept on stage, completely dropping the magical and dreamy aspects of that concept, removing it from the performances, losing half of what makes this group complete and unique.

Billlie, in its roots, is a fresh neo-upcycling juice that needs to succeed. I will pray for the creative team to be more cohesive and clear in their vision, in order to avoid following the path of other soon-forgotten groups.

Wow,

that's cool

AOTY

TRU, hahahaha, great single, now I'm listening to the album and I really like that 24k-esque sound

Listening now

One of the least "Twice" title tracks they've put out. Got into a better groove towards the end of the song but still not a big fan overall.

Moonlight is okay. Icon is a no so far...big no. Cruel is probably the best so far but still not blown away. Just gonna wait til something catches my ear.

Wasn't thrilled with tracks 5-9 but Cactus was nice. Probably my fav now. Sana and Jihyo rapping on Push & Pull lets go! I like Push & Pull.

Hello on the other hand man what is this. Oh nah this some ass

JY, Mina, Tzuyu sound good as a subunit. JY, Mina rap sighting. 1, 3, 2 is solid.

Candy is a full English track. One of their better ones so far.

The Feels is nice but I need the Korean version tbh. Wish it was on spotify.

Favs were Cactus, Push & Pull, and 1, 3, 2. Candy honorable mention
