The more money big companies make the more they can manipulate and control the industry, and the whole ai, technology obsessed concept is really freaky coming from a massive corporation lmao

    I think for me this is the best song by aespa to date ..
    I seriously never thought they could outdo black mamba and here they are upgrading to ever better and man every thing about this song is just a solid 10 , the music vid to the high notes omff ..and Giselle's rap in the starting with the beats dude this was the first time she like literally caught my eye in an instant ..
    Badass !!

    It took me a while to figure out this song, but now I'm in love. It's really cool, and chorus evokes some emotions in me I can't really explain. It just hits musically right in my soft spot. Amazing. I think it's thier best title track yet. It feels a little bit long to be honest, even if you are mesmerised in the performance. Which honestly I think is not the songs fault, but the present media like TikTok, which shortens our attention span. (Few years ago songs tended to be a bit longer and I never felt bored.) But anyways this comeback is really cool. Now I'm finally motivated to check out the album.

    As a video editor myself I really REALLY loved THIS MV!! I can totally understand you hahaha for me honestly one of the best MVs I've ever watched, I also love how they are inovating and creating kind of a futuristic style for themselves.
    I love aespa's music and the girls, but what made me start to get into them was this crazy concept and how well SM is carring it, as you said as a storyteller kpop lore has always been a bit frustrating for me, and it's the first time a lore is this crazy and actually TELLS you what happens and moves forward. I love this feeling after watching GIRLS thinking, okay so that was the battle with Black Mamba, so what's the next chapter? what's the next villain?! I'm really excited for aespa's future

    I'm definitely not mad about the run time of the song, that dance break gets me hyped up everytime ! and tbh, even if the song was like 8 minutes long I'd still listen to it because of Karina's vocals at the very end of the song (and throughout the whole song honestly) ! she's the main dancer but she has my favorite vocal tone in aespa 💕 this comeback is great, my only criticism is about the choreo, personally I find it quite underwhelming

  • @mishumali

    PD, just a heads up that SM has done this with EXO. They pretty much worked from the EXO Universe, but this time expanding it to create a more cohesive SMCU to include all the groups, and be the launching pad for Aespa.
    Pointing this out because as a long time SM fan, who also got into EXO with their continuing lore, from debut to the most recent Special Album wherein we saw that SM has begun to tie their story with the broader SMCU, I feel sad that people forget just how amazing it’s been, and how it kind of set a template for SMCU. Their albums (even unit ones), music videos, down to their concert VCRs have been consistent with the story telling. Everything is interwoven.
    I’m personally super excited when they announced the SMCU and debuted Aespa through this, but I hope that people recognize too that SM has done this before, even if it was only for EXO initially.
    P.S. I’m a TVXQ fan since debut-maybe it’s me, but I’ve always adored the “Gods Rising From The East” concept. And to know that they incorporated that into the SMCU (please watch the VCR from the SMCU con🙏🏼), like TVXQ were gods in Kwangya, and there was some sort of fall of the gods thing that happened (their temple was destroyed, and damaged or smth), just had me geeking out. 😅
    I love how by SM doing this with Aespa, we’re getting some form of a series executed through their music videos, and eventually concert vcrs. The conceptualization and execution of it all is amazing, and tbh something only SM can really pull off.
    Also Girls reminds me of old school SMP songs - H.O.T’s I Yah, TVXQ!’s Tri-Angle, just a more modern take, and I’m honestly loving it. It’s an homage to old school SM, but infused and made fresh with the dubstep and like just a more modern(?) sound♥︎

    Gosh, I enjoy a lot this review! Only PD can do that. I really like how you can dive deeply into their music, visuals, cinematography (I didn’t even realize or pay more attention to so much details about editing, lighting, and camera movement you mentioned), and you can even appreciate the story and the lore behind Aespa’s concept, that’s amazing! Lots of people see Aespa’s concept as something messy and redundant (even though it's something that can't be blamed, people have their own opinion). And here I am considering it as a unique and expressive art. ^^ SM did such a great job with this comeback.

    I think this is the first Aespa song I liked at first listen. I am not too sure how to explain it, but the difference between each parts feels less jarring to me in Girls so that makes the song easier for me to listen to.

    Also, I will never get tired of hearing Ning Ning sing. She has such a beautiful voice.

    I would highly recommend that you watch the aespa series! It ties the whole story together and it’s. so. well. made. I would say that’s the only thing you need to watch to follow along their story. 2 episodes have already been released. You should watch their mvs along with their episodes in chronological order, so:
    Black Mamba MV
    ep.1 Black Mamba
    Next Level MV
    Savage MV
    ep.2 Next Level
    Girls MV
    It’s extremely satisfying to see their whole story together and I definitely think that it was meant to be consumed like that.
    Regarding ending a story: after watching the Girls MV, it really makes you wonder what happens next in the aespa lore, cause it feels like an end and it makes it so exciting:)
