it's because she is using the same sound for both of the 'e's. General American accent would have the 2nd relaxed into a schwa, the same sound at the end of "sofa." (/ˈlɛv.əl/) So the final 'l' sound is also articulated differently, like 'bell' (/bɛl/).
It's because kpop stans (mostly new) are so used to these "kpop songs" now. This song have this 2nd gen era vibes to it. This is what kpop sounds back then and I love it. 🔥
glad that you enjoyed it, i loved this song from the very first listen! it's so fun, so experiments and so sm. we get bad bitch vibes with the futuristic bass and the talk-rapping an then we get a jazzy/r&b section with powerful vocals and a groovy rap back to back. it feels like snsd i got a boy, f(x) red light and red velvet zimzalabim with all the switch ups in genre. the song is doing really well in korean charts and koreans are praising this song, coz it reminds them of old kpop. i love how sm is not afraid to be risky and bold. can't wait to see the perfomances and dance practice to this. the first performance video will be aired tomorrow, but they'll only start promoting on music shows next week.
I don't know, I loved I Got a Boy and Red Light and many more weird, mix it all, SM songs, but these honestly I think it wasn't well done, like a copy-paste without merit :( Actually I feel kind of offended when they compare those masterpieces with this song. BTW, I think in many ways Next Level was on its way to make a great song, the team behind it just ruined it.
Is it really considered a remake? coz I really think of the song as just a 'sample', in their case used the same phrases/beats of the orig. song. And also they changed the lyrics and some parts of the production. Some people think that a remake is like the exactly same song but recorded differently like if it where 1985 vs 2020 version
Duh to the dance practice. Do it all! I dunno if you’re a Pixy fan but their comeback is tomorrow!! Aespa Next Level was different. It has to grow on me.
You should check out the 10 minute 'movie' that is SM culture universe. First episode is fully focused on aespa and helps explain the lore, plus its insanely well produced. Almost forgot, if you do check it out there is a post credits scene.
You saying that this reminds you of Shinhwa and S.E.S.. an OG kpop stan indeed. And yes its SM's trademark to have atleast a song on every group to have this kind of song that has many genres such as IGAB, Red Light, Zimzalabim😅
black mamba dance practice came out 9 days after the mv's release. next level was released on monday, we'll have to wait a couple more days for next level's.
@@bitchesstantheboyzrightnow7293 well, you can count the mv release date and the dance practice release date for black mamba and you'll see it took 9 days, so i think it'll take this time too for sm to release next level dance practice. a performance video is coming out this thursday tho.
have you seen/watched ''Aespa ep1. Black Mamba' - SM Culture Universe''? it covers basically the lore of aespa. thats why you see in the lyrics they refrence certain things in the episode and in the black mamba mv aswell. would love for you to react to it!
THANK YOU FOR POINTING OUT SHINHWA AND S.E.S MUSIC!!!! This kinda unpredictable song structure/tempo and experimenting with different sounds and genres have been done with every.single.SM.artist at this point! DBSK has songs like O! and Rising Sun; Super Junior with House Party; SNSD with I Got A Boy; SHINee with THE Sherlock; F(x) with like almost every song we put out, most notable ones being Red Light, 4 Walls, Spit It Out, Rainbow, Snapshot; EXO with Tempo; Red Velvet with RBB and Zimzalabim; NCT with songs like Chain or Simon Says; SuperM with One; and now Aespa with Next Level
Yess love that you reacted to this ! And yeah the wrist thing is so hard I keep trying to do it whenever I listen to the song and I cannot for the life of me get my wrist backwards 90° degree, that really tough. Karina is also my fav so far but just like Blackpink, I feel that the more I'm gonna see them and learn about them I'm gonna love the four of them equally and it will be so hard to pick one fav
I like that this song's structure is different (SM's style) and I love that aespa are going against the norms! aespa = the future of music & experiences!!!
Due to BoA basically introducing me to Kpop in 2008 I seem to be a SM stan so I really loved the change-ups in Next level. It gave me nostalgia and made me think of F(x) Shinee, TVXQ, SNSD, SuJu, RV, EXO, and NCT... basically all their groups😂 it even gave me BoA vibes
People have trouble appreciating the song at first since there are lots going on the MV. It does take time to take in those information or actions in our head to have us appreciate.
they are good but for some people the next level gives a pretty strange impression, including me, maybe this is just about our differences in taste. but we have to appreciate them for having dared to make unique songs. great job aespa!
Fire right, oh my god Winter she's my favorite. I got another one for you I just found out about them 10 minutes ago; BLING BLING they dropped a come back OH MAMA damn it was phenomenal better than their debut G.G.B.You'll luv it. Oh and Pixy's new one dropped a couple hours ago Let Me Know
Yeah you're right aespa is really different thats why I stan them. They don't follow the typical boring girl group. They have their own concept, they have their own way.
This is a remake of a song from the Shaw and Hobbs (Fast and furious) soundtrack. A really well made remake. They are powerful. Love this way more than Black mamba.
Yeah this song is very IGAB/Zimzalbim-esque. Oddly though this one is taking longer to grow on me 🤔. Like, the glitchy aesthetic combined with the “genre hopping” is a super cool concept but I don’t know, this just isn’t a “going in the playlist” kinda song for me.
I would enjoy the song a lot more if they had stuck with the sound they were using right before that whole 'beat drop' thing instead of that weird R&B/jazz thing for the bridge - it was just too jarring of a change for me. Had the exact same problem with IGAB when it came out, caught a few lines of Zimzalabim and noped right out. If this is people's thing, more power to them. Give me the song without that weird genre change and I'd be playing it non-stop. Excellent reaction like always Thina!
This song is actually a remake of an OST of 'Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw' movie. fans are throwing shade at SM ´cause they gave aespa a remake instead of an "original song", which i don't really care, i mean, the song is great.
I feel like NEXT LEVEL is the only song that can compete with FIRST rn, which made me very nervous, but NEXT LEVEL is not an original song it's literally a remake of a song that already exists in the movie HOBBS AND SHAW, so, no competition.
I don’t know why but when Winter says “Next Level” she sounds Russian or something sounds really cool
it's because she is using the same sound for both of the 'e's. General American accent would have the 2nd relaxed into a schwa, the same sound at the end of "sofa." (/ˈlɛv.əl/) So the final 'l' sound is also articulated differently, like 'bell' (/bɛl/).
YESSSS I AGREE
Lmao I've been walking around saying "level" in a Russian accent, pretending I'm Winter 🤣🤣
@@bagleybadger2867 haha honestly same
True lmfao its like. Neks libel, so russian 🤣
I’m just glad some other people like the song. I’ve been seeing a lot of hate for this comeback but I loved it!!
Don't worry. K-netizens are eating this up. Next Level is doing really well in the charts, considering that æspa is just 6 months old rookie group.
I love this song!
I mean I didn’t like it at first but I’m familiar with SM experimental music. After a couple of plays, IM HOOKED! Love them so much!
It's because kpop stans (mostly new) are so used to these "kpop songs" now. This song have this 2nd gen era vibes to it. This is what kpop sounds back then and I love it. 🔥
its only international fans hate this but im loving this
"They are so different"
For real. That's why I love SM groups, you could never compare them to anyone.
glad that you enjoyed it, i loved this song from the very first listen! it's so fun, so experiments and so sm. we get bad bitch vibes with the futuristic bass and the talk-rapping an then we get a jazzy/r&b section with powerful vocals and a groovy rap back to back. it feels like snsd i got a boy, f(x) red light and red velvet zimzalabim with all the switch ups in genre. the song is doing really well in korean charts and koreans are praising this song, coz it reminds them of old kpop. i love how sm is not afraid to be risky and bold. can't wait to see the perfomances and dance practice to this. the first performance video will be aired tomorrow, but they'll only start promoting on music shows next week.
yesss
maybe you should express yourself more respectful when you talk about the vibes
I don't know, I loved I Got a Boy and Red Light and many more weird, mix it all, SM songs, but these honestly I think it wasn't well done, like a copy-paste without merit :( Actually I feel kind of offended when they compare those masterpieces with this song.

Fun fact: Next Level is actually a remake of a soundtrack from Hobbs and Shaw which is a part of the Fast and Furious franchise

@@unbotherednobody173 Sm bought the song and only arrange it.
@@unbotherednobody173 yes it is still considered a remake SM said it was a remake
best girl group comeback of 2021 so far, sm artists never disappoint
Not really
Ring Ring by Rocket Punch was so good too
100% agreed
I don't think it, but respect your opinion ;)
yesss
Duh to the dance practice. Do it all! I dunno if you’re a Pixy fan but their comeback is tomorrow!! Aespa Next Level was different. It has to grow on me.
The Pixy comeback was insane!! I'm obsessed. The dance is gorgeous!

Yes. H.O.T has a lot of song like this. TVXQ too
I think SM pull it out from SNSD the boys. The changes really remind me that song
SM loves doing 5 in 1 songs. Almost every group under them has them
black mamba dance practice came out 9 days after the mv's release. next level was released on monday, we'll have to wait a couple more days for next level's.
really?? who said that?
@@bitchesstantheboyzrightnow7293 well, you can count the mv release date and the dance practice release date for black mamba and you'll see it took 9 days, so i think it'll take this time too for sm to release next level dance practice. a performance video is coming out this thursday tho.
Not me waiting for red velvets comeback 😭💀
Me too! I’m a Reveluv before anything else, but we might as well support their little sister group while we’re waiting!
@TZUYU Ohh yas! Twice is coming back soon too right? I’m going to support Taste of Love too. ONCEs are always really nice & supportive.
They'll be back in the summer and reclaim the summer queens title not that they lost it
@@chuuu4610 thank you ❤️🐧
Next month after Exo comeback.
New stans gotta see this reaction FR 😭💀
true lol, some of them unstanned aespa like, wtf it's just their second official single and the song's cool.
@@lawrence2292 fr? these stans be freakin disgusting anw stream Next level to 45M!
You can say they stepped up. They're on the next level.
Your reaction is so realistic,no drama. Your face shows when you're amazed,you're not over reacting like other reactors,i love it!
SM groups are really ahead of their time.
I'm glad you liked this comeback omg rookies killing it

Heh, I just posted the same comment basically... I should read further down before posting.
One of the best comebacks of the year for me so far it's so different and fun I loved it! And the vocals and rapping on point!
Girl this reaction is literally how i reacted and omg are you prettyyy woah 😍😍
I look forward to your forever reaction vocals are on point!
I think you’ll like Forever. There isn’t really dance but the members sing really well,

FUN FACT: this song is a remake of "next level" from Hobbes & Shaw!! SM bought the rights LOL and I think they did a great job switching it up
I'm really glad that you've noticed.
aespa is really special. :)

And yeah the wrist thing is so hard I keep trying to do it whenever I listen to the song and I cannot for the life of me get my wrist backwards 90° degree, that really tough.

I'm glad you also recognized the genius! Mixing old and new kpop sounds! Yaasss!!!
Yesss, black mamba dance practice is very good ( :
wooo glad you got around to this
I like that this song's structure is different (SM's style) and I love that aespa are going against the norms! aespa = the future of music & experiences!!!
Brilliant reaction video!
Wow! AESPA are hitting hard.
At first I wasn’t really feeling the song until I saw a remix or this and bring the boys to the yard and ever since I really like their song....
Yes please react to Black Mamba and Next Levels dance practice PLSSS. Oh btw i know your a fan of Pixy and their comeback will be May 20th!
I was WAITING for this video
People are saying that Girls generation's 'I got a boy' and Red Velvet 'Zimzalabim' had a child and we got Next Level
'Forever' wasn't a cover, it was a remake ^^
The original artist is Yoo Youngjin, SM's musical director and composer!
Thank you for this!☺️
i LOVE this song and your hair looks great!
I love your reaction omg !! N yes pls react to the dance practice/stage performance!!
Really enjoyed the reaction. This is a good remake.
I literally love your channel so much
Due to BoA basically introducing me to Kpop in 2008 I seem to be a SM stan so I really loved the change-ups in Next level.
It gave me nostalgia and made me think of F(x) Shinee, TVXQ, SNSD, SuJu, RV, EXO, and NCT... basically all their groups😂 it even gave me BoA vibes
I think it's good to insert the middle part after "beat drop" because if the song keeps going like that it will get boring.. love them!
Weird, Unexpected but Legendary CONCEPT and Genre is what SM is all about
Aespa is really cool!!!! I came here after watching your beautiful reaction of GodJihyo. Pleaseeee react to Oh my Girls 'Dun Dun Dance'
People have trouble appreciating the song at first since there are lots going on the MV. It does take time to take in those information or actions in our head to have us appreciate.
watch forever
they are good but for some people the next level gives a pretty strange impression, including me, maybe this is just about our differences in taste. but we have to appreciate them for having dared to make unique songs. great job aespa!
So far my fave reaction 🥰
Fire right, oh my god Winter she's my favorite. I got another one for you I just found out about them 10 minutes ago; BLING BLING they dropped a come back OH MAMA damn it was phenomenal better than their debut G.G.B.You'll luv it. Oh and Pixy's new one dropped a couple hours ago Let Me Know
Yes for all Aespa dance practices!
Yeah you're right aespa is really different thats why I stan them. They don't follow the typical boring girl group. They have their own concept, they have their own way.
QUEENS
I don't know if we can even call this a comeback because it's literally a cover of next level from fast and furious
This is a remake of a song from the Shaw and Hobbs (Fast and furious) soundtrack. A really well made remake. They are powerful. Love this way more than Black mamba.
6:45 sorry but the way aespa ended with HA and you also subconsciously gasped is cute and funny 😂
"We against the villain"
"What's the name"
"Black mamba" whaaaa that was so cool
Yes, we are interesting in seeing a reaction black mamba dance practice too.
This song is a remake. You can search fast and furious ost Next level. They just change it to korean, and add new verse and change a little bit
I really loved this little Frankenstein of a song. 😂
Don't forget Pixy this afternoon!
I love ur reaction
First!!!
Yeah this song is very IGAB/Zimzalbim-esque. Oddly though this one is taking longer to grow on me 🤔. Like, the glitchy aesthetic combined with the “genre hopping” is a super cool concept but I don’t know, this just isn’t a “going in the playlist” kinda song for me.
off-topic but your hair looks super cute like that thina
It is just a showcase of their skills still before they release an original which is maybe on an album
The reaction was on point.
next level having same vibes like i got the boy snsd. which means they have interlude
I am waiting for you to put an aespa pic on your wall🤣
yeah, literally Aespa is on next level.
watch the ep. 1 black mamba! you'll get enlightened about their concept a bit.
I would enjoy the song a lot more if they had stuck with the sound they were using right before that whole 'beat drop' thing instead of that weird R&B/jazz thing for the bridge - it was just too jarring of a change for me. Had the exact same problem with IGAB when it came out, caught a few lines of Zimzalabim and noped right out. If this is people's thing, more power to them. Give me the song without that weird genre change and I'd be playing it non-stop. Excellent reaction like always Thina!
I like the "Nextssst Level" part
yei!! goo karina!!
loved this! Could you please react to Pixy's comeback Let Me Know also? The choreography looks insane!
I'm on the next level ~
I love your hair
Love your hairstyle 😚👌
I know you know this already but "Next Level" is The combination of all SM 1st to 3rd gen song in 1.
They announced a performance stage for the 20th.
Am I blind, or have you never done a CLC react/analysis? Love this one, btw...
REACT TO TRI.BE - RUB A DUM !I SWEAR YOU'LL LIKE IT!
It's my favourite summer song of this year till now!
This song is actually a remake of an OST of 'Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw' movie. fans are throwing shade at SM ´cause they gave aespa a remake instead of an "original song", which i don't really care, i mean, the song is great.

since when does a remake make it so then there is “no competition”
like, that makes no sense at all
The daughter of IGAB and Zimzalabim
I didn't really enjoy it when it was first out but it's slowly growing
The first thing I thought when first time listen to it was SNSD the boys
We want a stray kids reaction too
It's like the aespa remix of SNSD's the boys
Im happy with aespa comeback & sad with gfriend out from soumu
Please react this tina
This song kicks 1000 shades of ass
I don't know to feel about this song. Some parts are amazing & some parts are not bad but odd. I like that aespa trying new stuff thoo
you should react to any KDA song!
but i would recommend "More" :)
Hi, let’s get it.
Did Giselle get more lines ? It was hard for me to tell, esp since she had the rap portion shared.
She actually has more lines than ningning
SM DID IT AGAIN… THE IGAB OF 4TH GEN!
off topic cuz idk where else to put this im sorry but have you watched weeekly's after school yet?
Could you react to Tri.Be Rub a Dum?! It's amazing song!!
Please also react to Black Mamba dance practice ❤️
3:50 😂😂😂😂
