𝐚𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐚 에스파 <𝐆𝐈𝐑𝐋𝐒>

Music taste is subjective and my opinions are my own! You do not have to agree with anything that I say.

“따라와 (bow down); 지켜봐 (my skill); 놀랄걸 (say wow); we coming!“

Less chromatic and cohesive than Savage, the Girls EP still licks the plate clean.

01. GIRLS ☆

I love GIRLS. I think that in terms of aespa’s artistic direction, it is safer than Savage and Next Level, which is fine. Next Level played with structures of songs in commercial music and Savage explored the overlap and the struggle between the nature and mechanical, as well as an interesting look into pressure in music. With strong verses backed by darker vocal tones, Girls is delicious, from start to finish. I particularly enjoy the brass-esque part of the instrumental and the ad-libs are reminiscent of Kick It by NCT 127. Karina takes all of her lines and truly devours them in this song. The chorus is extremely catchy. The only thing that I would say is negative is the rap is kind of awkward in places and, lyrically, some parts are juvenile (mainly “With my friends”) or gramatically correct yet confusing to an English speaker. (”Real MY world” is correct in the lore, but listening to it without prior knowledge makes it seem like they don’t understand syntax.) I also find the dance break instrumental a little grating; sometimes I feel like aespa would benefit from releasing “short” versions of their songs with cut dance break instrumental sections. 

02. 도깨비불 (Illusion)

Nothing has ever really opened a song quite like “You’re so yummy, yummy, yummy; in my tummy, tummy. tummy.“ Their careful rhythmic speak-sing over a relatively sparse techno-instrumental gives way to Karina’s rich pre-chorus, sans the futuristic synth from before. Illusion, like Savage, plays with the light and “natural“ versus heavy and metallic. While I personally prefer a full, melodic chorus, the one in Illusion is still crafted well. My favorite section is the group speak/rap in the second verse. One thing I will say about the lyrics of this song is that it suffers heavily from the “Last word in the line is in English“ syndrome. I do enjoy Illusion, though. However, it is not title track material! I suppose that the lyrics could’ve been changed to pertain to the lore but it does not have the “je ne sais quoi” of aespa’s flagship songs. It is a perfectly good promotional b-side. 

03. Lingo

Immediately: harmonica. This was the country I was fearing after I saw on twitter that there was an offical statement about the genre of songs on the Girls EP. I don’t hate it but I also am too confused to love it. Melodically, I enjoy the vocal lines. The instrumental is very strong and overpowering in places and I feel overstimulated. This definitely checks the experimental b-side box. If I played the album start to finish, I think that I wouldn’t skip this song, but I also wouldn’t reach for it.

04. Life’s Too Short

I checked the translated lyrics on Genius for this song, specifically to see if there was a considerable difference in the English and Korean versions. Needless to say, I can tell which was written first. However, when listening, the Korean version is much more palatable, because the lyrics aren’t as straightforward about their message. I enjoy this song in Korean because I am not forced to understand what they’re saying. It’s also got a catchy melody and I have hummed it various times at work before because it just gets stuck in your head. Back on my previous point, you don’t have to go very far to see the flack that aespa gets online for being a successful group of pretty girls who sing and dance. The English lyrics though, are immature at best, and distasteful at worst. Would I rather they get hated for having a song that pushes their achievements and makes them sound vain or a song with these lyrics? Hard question that I’ll probably never answer.

05. ICU 쉬어가도 돼

Title is on the struggle bus... I first read “ICU” and interpreted it as the Intensive Care Unit... not the literal I - SEE - YOU. At least INVU didn’t reference something else. I wasn’t expecting something this acoustic but I can’t say that I didn’t enjoy it because I did, gospel church music sound and all! Their voices blend very well together and I like that very much. Vocally, aespa are able to hold their own (I say this because there is not a forced rap section; Giselle used to be in a choir and Karina... listen to Girls and you’ll know what I mean: she can SING). The downside is that it is very cookie-cutter, concert encore, vanilla. 

Did I enjoy it more than Savage? No. Is it as cohesive as Savage was? Also no. The vision was not as clear or as omnipresent as it was in Savage. From first listen, everything had been marked with the aespa futuristic KWANGYA sound, regardless of the pacing or musical content of the song. Did I enjoy the Girls EP nonetheless? Yes. For a numerical rating, if I exclude the LTS English version, the EP gets an 8/10. If I do not exclude LTS English Version, it gets a 7/10. Girls as a title track, I am between that 9/10 and that perfect score, but I think I’ll go lower because of the fact that it is not as aespa as it could be, if that makes sense. For the next comeback, I’m hoping for more present musical themes and also a full album... but we shall see what SM Ent. has planned.
